Start creatingCare Tips for Shelties
Regular Grooming: Shelties have a thick double coat that requires regular brushing, ideally 2-3 times a week, to prevent matting and reduce shedding.
Mental and Physical Exercise: These intelligent and energetic dogs need daily physical exercise and mental stimulation, such as walks, playtime, or agility training, to keep them healthy and happy.
Socialization and Training: Begin socialization and basic obedience training early to help them become well-adjusted and well-behaved, as Shelties can be shy and reserved with strangers if not properly socialized.
