all dogs can be trained...before u get a border collie...did u read up on them? abt their behaviour and character? border collie have very high energy and are very active...they need to have ample exercise to burn away their energy...your ans as below :

1) like wat i say...all dogs can be trained....its juz a matter of time and efforts dat u put in. be firm in ur training too.

2) chewing normally are due to teething stage,boredom,attention seeking...is ur dog at his teething stage? give him more toys or raw hides to chew...if its due to boredom...did u exercise him enough to tired him out? border collie can be very destructive when they have alot of energy but nowhere to burn. sometimes dog chew to attract attention from their owners...have u neglect him? did u give him time to play and bond with u?

3) if properly trained...,meaning control his barking etc will helps u alot...we cannot deny a fact that they are alot of non dogs lover in singapore...if u allow ur dog to be a nuisance to ur neighbour....then u r actually inviting ur neighbours to lodge a complain to u...regarding abt the escaping of ur dogs...its always impt to train ur dog on the recall command...for the safety and also consideration for others...bonding is also very impt...if all along u buy a dog for the sake of buying but not training them...then i would suggest its best u dont keep any dogs...sorry for being harsh but its a fact.

bonding with ur dog is very very impt i stress once again...if u get a dog,be responsible and give ur dog the training and love require...if u dont give him any...then u cant complain he destroy this destroy dat...remember...there is no bad dogs...only bad owners. if u really cant handle...may i suggest u send ur dogs to training school. dont give them up w/out even trying.
