Atamjeet Kaur
Every dog deserves to feel special, but when it comes to the Border Collie, their brilliance, loyalty, and endless energy deserve something extra. National Border Collie Day is celebrated on November 24th, 2025. It is the perfect excuse to celebrate your best friend, the one who races to the door every time you walk in, who never tires of fetching, and who loves you more than words (or barks) can say.
Here at Hardy Paw, every tail wag reminds us why we do what we do. So, let’s make this year’s celebration extra special with these 10 fun-loving and heartfelt ways to spoil your Border Collie. They don't just deserve the world; they are the world.
1. Start the Day with an Adventure
Border Collies are born to move. They’re happiest with the wind in their fur and a mission at paw. Kick off National Border Collie Day with a morning hike, a trip to the dog park, or a spontaneous car ride to somewhere new. Their joy will remind you how beautiful simple moments can be.

2. Give Them New Border Collie Toys to Conquer
A fluffy friend doesn’t just play; they strategize. Puzzle toys, treat-dispensing games, or classic fetch balls are perfect for keeping their sharp minds and quick paws engaged.
Hardy Paw offers durable Border Collie toys made for thinkers, doers, and the occasional toy destroyer.
3. Treat Them to Delicious Border Collie Snacks (with Loaded Love!)
Your pup gives you endless love, laughter, and loyalty. The least you can do is return the favor with something truly drool-worthy! Spoil your pup with premium dog treats made for large breeds. Look for protein-packed snacks that support energy, muscle health, and dental care because your Collie deserves the best of the best.
Here are a few HardyPaw favorites your doggo will love:
-
High-Protein Training Bites are great for rewarding good behavior or practicing new tricks.
-
Dental Chews keep their teeth clean and their breath fresh while satisfying their chewing instincts.
4. Dress Them Up with Stylish Accessories
Celebrate their personality with new Border Collie accessories, a bold collar, a cozy bandana, or a harness that fits just right.
Fashion isn’t just for humans; your pupper deserves to strut their stuff in style! Plus, a fresh look always makes for the best photo ops.
5. Plan a Fun Playdate or Agility Party
Border Collies live for fun, action, and teamwork. Invite a few dog friends over for a National Border Collie Day celebration full of games, agility challenges, and a friendly frisbee competition.
Laughter, barking, and happy chaos, that’s how memories are made.
6. Mark the Day with a Photoshoot
Your adorable doggo’s smile deserves to be framed! Set up a fun backdrop, grab some treats, and let them pose like the superstar they are. Tag #NationalBorderCollieDay and share your favorite shots, we guarantee your pup will steal hearts (and likes) everywhere.
7. Surprise Them with Thoughtful Gifts
The best Border Collie gifts combine fun and function. Whether it’s a new comfy bed, a personalized toy box, or a Hardy Paw gift bundle filled with goodies, surprises are guaranteed to make tails wag.
Because nothing says I love you like a present that squeaks.
8. Teach a New Trick or Let Them Teach You!
Few dogs love learning as much as a Border Collie. Spend the day teaching them something new or let them remind you how patience, play, and joy can turn any lesson into love.
They’re not just smart; they’re teachers in fur coats.

9. Pamper Them with a Spa Day
After all that action, it’s time for some TLC. A warm bath, gentle brushing, and a few treats between your pupper will leave your pupper feeling refreshed, relaxed, and extra huggable.
Warning: You may end up with a freshly bathed dog zooming around the house in pure happiness!
10. End the Day with Cuddles and Gratitude
At the end of a perfect day, nothing beats curling up with your cuddly pup, their head on your lap, their heart beating next to yours. Whisper a thank you for every wag, every adventure, and every moment of love they’ve shared.
Because for them, you are their whole world.
