Nana the Border Collie Performs Amazing Dog Tricks
Nana is available for print ads, commercials, film, and other media work. If you are interested in using her for your project, please contact us: www.useyourclicker.com/need-a-...
Incredible dog tricks performed by my best friend: a Border Collie named Nana! From footstalls, to walking front paw handstands, to running backwards, Nana does it all.
All of Nana's training is done exclusively with positive reinforcement and clicker training. Nana chooses to do all the behaviours in this video, and when she performs a trick, she is rewarded with lots of praise, toys, and treats. She loves what she does, and to her, "training" is all just a big game we play together!
My goal with my training is to show the world that anything can be achieved with positive reinforcement! Remember always to use positive training methods with your dog.
No video is sped up or reversed. Nana just likes to perform her tricks fast, and she really is walking backwards.
Nana knows many other tricks that are not included in this video. Be sure to check out her other videos for more amazing dog tricks!

The only thing that keeps me from getting a border collie is that I cant stand losing at chess.
LOL! Okay, you killed me with that one!!!
That dog is smarter than some people ive met
Anyone that dislikes this video for any reason obviously has never owned a border collie. I have 2 and believe me when I say that all these dogs want to do is work and please it's owners. They are too smart for their own good and are extremely neurotic! Best dogs on the entire face of the planet!!
This is a HAPPY dog! Look at her! "Hey! I'm doing what I was born for! YES!!!!"
Maybe nana made this account
My son was about 18 months old when we went somewhere that we needed him quiet for a couple of minutes. We searched KZhead for a video with a dog (he loves dogs); it came up with Nana. He turned 2 today, and doesn't have many words yet, but he does clearly ask for "Nana" and points to the phone or computer to ask to see your wonderful dog!! He laughs and dances while he watches her! She's adorable!!!
Nana is so happy, she was definitely brought home to the right house. She brings happy tears to my eyes every day
The thing I love most about this video is that Nana is clearly having tons of fun learning and performing these tricks. Nothing better than a happy pupil!
I am not a dog person, but WOW!! Nana is a BRILLIANT dog, and you can tell she is well loved, the joy she expresses doing the tricks, and her tail wag..she's won my heart!
In response to Sara Beth Cox's comment (which I am unable to reply to): The coffee table trick is a fun and colourful way for the dog to practise impulse control. This is the same concept behind the "treat balance & catch" trick, as well as halting on cue whilst chasing after a stimulus (toy, squirrel, car, etc.). Impulse control is an extremely important skill for any dog to have that could save the dog's life. There are many fun ways to practise impulse control, including following cues before retrieving a favourite toy (as outlined in this video of Nana, at around 0:24: kzhead.info/sun/ltuzcriXh6hjpIE/bejne.html) or with simple, fun tricks such as the coffee table trick. Nana gets rewarded royally after removing the items from her bottom, no worries. ;) And trust me, if she didn't enjoy doing the trick, she wouldn't do it. End of story.
+NanaBorderCollie ok thx
Like wow...still wiping tears from my eyes...I have had border collies over the years but sadly not now for 16 years... video brought everything back. None of these moves are a result of cruelty I will confirm, the breed loves to interact. I am a builder & upon occasions my Collie, Winston, would clim a ladder onto scaffolding to be along side of me such is their desire to be with me... he had to be carried back down upon my shoulders. Many other things he invented himself...Thank you so much.
haha love how when nana brings the newspaper its all chewed already!
smartest dog in world
I agree
yes
chance boudreaux yes
As an owner of two Border Collies I have a special affection for this video. I love the dog and you obviously put a great deal of hard work into training her. Well done.
Border collies are some of the smartest dogs . Amazing!!👍
My friend raises border collies for sheep and cow herding, and I've seen them do some impressive things, like jumping over fences and into pickups and running a specific direction around a herd of sheep and laying down on the spot instantly. Amazing dogs, border collies.
Wow Nana is incredibly beautiful and intelligent. Her facial expression when she looks at you is almost as if she is capable of all the human emotions and feelings. She has such a wonderful spirit to her it's so remarkable.
Do you ever take her to nursing homes? She would really make the seniors happy.
Look how happy she seems to be;) every thing is perfect about this hope all of you live long and happy life's
That moment when you realise a dog is smarter than you...
OMG so much happiness, fun, and companionship... you really get a sense tat Nana just thrives on these tricks. What a beautiful dog, congratulations and thanks for sharing!
How can anyone hate this video?? This dog is awesome!!
having Nana as a companion makes living a Heavenly experience ... you are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing!
An incredible list of tricks and behaviors. On average how long does it take for her to learn each one? And definitely yes: give them love and pawsitive reinforcement and you've got a true friend for life. Two paws up for Nana!!
Nana is the cutest Border Collie!
That's pretty sweet to see someone so dedicated to their pets, to to spend probably a year SNF a half just working with them. Takes true dedication! Great job and awesome dog!
*and
She's the most beautiful dog in the world
Once again, we can prove that Border Collies are the best dog breeds ever! :D
AND she plays the piano. Multi-talented!
Wow...If all dogs were this cool I might want one
Border collies really are cool. But high energy, too!
some of the tricks she does.. She has alot of trust within you and her and i am soo happy to see that you and Nana are both happy together and the trust she has makes me wanna cry! I love all dogs.
me 2 real tears
:)
Love seeing a BC owner utilizing the genius that they are. Well done cheers!
Beautiful, beautiful dog and one of my favourite breeds too. Awesome that you've managed to teach her so many things and that she obviously loves doing them for you.
Holy shit. Incredible training! I haven't been so impressed since skid boot! This collies back of tricks might even be more impressive.
I love the very ending where she plays the piano!!! 😍😘💖❤️🐶

Amazing!!! She is the smartest and cutest dog ever!!!
Amazing ! Nana it's beautiful ♥
Thanks for posting it. We love watching Nana perform. She is pure love. We miss our border collie who died 6 months ago and watching Nana made us smile!
So amazing !! I used to have border collie and I've never forgotten her, she was like a human with a human look, she learnt anything with little training she just wanted us to be happy and was an incredible dog, this video is so wonderful blessings for you to make Nana so happy
Border collies, to know them is to love them.
I was watching this I looked down at my dog and she was licking her arse

+katiebonkers granter hahahaha ur comment killed me !!! hahaha

Awesome job! As a trainer and owner of Border collies, I watch this with tears of missing as well as joy. I miss my Border Collies I have had and love the aging ones I still have. But am overwhelmed with joy watching you do so much stuff with your dog. Keep it up please.
The trick where you twist your hand and she shakes her head, how do you even teach that?! Impressive
World Guiness Record! Good job to both the trainer and Nana! (y)
Nana is an amazing puppy. border Collies are so smart and fast as well. They always take top awards in relay racing on agility courses.
My favourite kind of dog is Border Collie😊❤️Nana you are the smartest dog in the world that I saw🐶💘
Amazing! I love border collies
She is freaking gorgeous, and you've done an amazing job training her =)
She's downright amazing!; what a talented & energetic dog Nana is; WOW!!
shepherd dogs are so incredibly focused!! and border collies are so extremely smart! i laughed real hard at the basket trick!
do you train kids? :L
There's no doubt in my mind that Nana would make an amazing service dog. Great video!
Love the Border collies. Walking backwards up stairs. I've never seen that one before. Gorgeous animal.
Loved her look tolerating those two parakeets on her nose! That is one great dog! You can tell by watching that she really wants to please her master.
And this is why Border Collies are my favorite breed
Nana inspired me to actually work with my dog and the more I worked with my BC/german shepherd I learned more about my dog and now have a job volenteer ing with a local dog trainer and my dream now is to be a dog trainer. Thank you.
AMAZING!!!! You must be so proud, you can see how happy she is to be performing these tricks for you. Not a chore but play time with intelligence. Good on you.
Nanais amazing, I applaude you for spending the time to let her shine. dogs are the best
All of it is amazing but the book balancing at 7:22 is truly astonishing!!!
oh my gosh this dog needs to be in a movie
she is amazing- but I will say n o matter how smart the dog - no dog would ever be doing this without the total love and support of their humans-this is obviously an adored dog- so beautiful to see
Border Collies are the smartest dogs in the world
Love it, awesome training, Nana's adorable, & one of the smartest dogs I've seen.:)
Border Collies----CLEARLY the Most intelligent Dogs on the Planet!
Wow, go Nana! Love all the backward walking awesome! Good going Nanas trainer
I swear your dog is cleverer than half of the people in my school☺️ this is insane😂
Beauty, pure love, your dog friend is brilliant, and u must be great owner. All the best to u for what u do
Brilliant!!! What a beautiful happy dog... She is so happy to do whatever you ask of her... Respect to you for that!
Nana is fantastic!!! I love Nana!!!
beautiful dog! you keep her coat shiny and clean and I can tell that she loves pleasing you with tricks like these! you trained her very nicely. that takes so much patience :)
You and Nana inspired me so much!! This video is the reason why I started training my own dog Tess (border collie) and I really enjoy training her. At this moment Tess knows about 120 - 130 dog tricks, and she is still learning new ones. I even made a video of her. Thanks for inspiring me, and good luck with training your pets :)
The best breed of dog. I want one so bad!
nana is the best dog i've seen doing great tricks
Thats to damn cute, i wanna get a Collie puppy, when i can afford to treat him/her perfectly!!!!
that was awsome ...good sound track too!!
It is obvious that she's a talented dog with a talented trainer.One can not be without the other.
this dog is awesome and so are the people that spent all that time w/it
What a wonderful video! Border collies need to work or they go insane. I miss my Australian Shepherds so much. Very much like a BC, but not quite so driven.
Even MY dog was impressed with Nana.
Most amazing performance I have ever watched! I love your dog Nana and this makes me adore and want a border collie. great n
Wow!!!! I can't even jump over a bench like this dog!!!!! How amazing is this?Incredible?I can't even describe how great this is!!!
What an awesome dog...
A video like this may give people the inclination that a border collie is very easy to train and won't take much effort. I think it's extremely important to stress to people it is imperative that you do your research before picking up a Border Collie. NanaBorderCollie has devoted her life to dog training and I'm sure she will agree that Border Collies are amazing dogs, but they simply aren't for everyone. I want one very badly, but I know my life isn't ready for a PBBC. I'm hoping to find one mixed down with Bernese because of their lovely temperament. If you're reading this, and you think you want a Border Collie, consider getting something mixed down, and get a rescue!!!
You and your amazing Nana are wonderful. She's obviously well cared for and loved. You spend so much time with her and it shows. Absolutely loved it. Thanks for posting.
Nana is the most adorable and amazing dogh I've ever seen!
how can someone dislike this is total unbelieavable and awesome
AMAZING! :) I love Border collie.
Amazing, reminds me of a lovely pet we had, ("Rex"), years ago. Great job both Nana and trainer!
They're fantastic dogs and the most intelligent breed. Our Oz who was a Border Collie pasted away on Tuesday. He gave everyone joy and outsmarted us at the best of times. Fantastic video she's beautiful.
absolutely fabulous!
Your pup is amazing!! Looks like she's close to my home in AL too! Great work!
We live in Canada. ;)
That Border collie is soooooo awesome!!! She makes an amazing dog tricks and she is very beautiful and smart dog!!! Congratulations to you and Nana!!! 😊😁🐕🐶🐩🐾
Nana is such a beautiful Collie!
Really cute and trained very well
Amazing dog !!!!!
I've just started fostering a border collie today she is amazing
How could anybody dislike this cutie? And if your a cat lover that disliked it, why in the world were you watching it then?
That's what you call a dog. JK every dog should be themselves,it a part of them. no matter what they can or can't do, we love them so much..although that is a pretty useful ad awesome dog..:D
