So this is my first time posting in this forum, I googled dog training forums and this is the first thing that popped up. My grandparents have a awesome border collie named Will, he is about 6 years old and has been confined to a pen most of his life. It is a very large pen so he at least has room to run around a bit. He longs for more attention but when you try to play with him he is a total nut, humps everything in sight, and has no control over his behavior whatsoever. He really longs for attention and Im tired of having to see him so lonely in his pen all the time. My ultimate goal is to have him house broken and teach him some behavior commands, then my grandparents could really enjoy his company. The problem is, i have no clue how to do this and the only thing I successfully trained him to do is hurdle my arm for a toy(which i am quite proud of lol). We dont have the money to pay for training, but we could get him neutered if its needed. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some advice?

Thanks for the advice everybody. He is a extremely smart dog, he walks on a leash OK but he does tug a good bit sometimes. I think the biggest thing he needs is time outside the pen and around people. He was a stray my mom found and my grandparents were excited to have him since we had another border collie when i was growing up that was the most perfectly behaved dog ever. Little did we know border collies are hyper nuts if they dont have attention or a "job". So he ended up being put in the pen cause they just couldnt handle him. Now that I moved near them I am super pumped to have a border collie around again. Will keep u all posted on our progress.
