Cattle dogs can make tough “PETS” as they are highly intelligent and need a JOB

- Being a owner and a professional trainer, I would not recommend cattle dogs for the faint of heart. As although they are amazing pups they definitely can be a tough dog to have without give something a job and training. Like most work breeds, they enjoy a active lifestyle and a lots of brain games. However when worked with appropriately, they are incredible companions and Zeke the cattle dog is my best friend to say the least
Heelers are not for the faint of heart...I've had 2 and they definitely tested my patience, but I will say without a doubt, they are the greatest breed of all time.
Have had three...there is no better breed

I think my dog is mixed w/ heeler. She's an Australian Shepherd.
I've had 3 if these velcroraptors. Best dogs ever! So loyal and smart but make sure you train the hell out of them and keep them active.
They are the best dogs ever. They are ride or die, for sure. One day my husband came home after a BAD day at work, like a questioning my career path bad, and the moment our heeler saw him, he ran to his toybox and methodically pulled his toys out one by one until he found the toy that he thought would make Daddy happy. If you are loving and attentive to them and help them have positive ways to use their brains and energy, they are so attentive and loving to you in return. He was the best dog ever. We miss him every day.
Awww my nugget does that. He always gives people presents.
But if I touch his he watches me like a hawk he does not want me to give them away or something cuz he knows exactly where everything is and he gives certain btoys
Awe that's the sweetest thing ever! 😢
I know this isn’t related to but a fucking pitbull killed my dog u think I would still like pit bulls? Nahh
Btw I’m not trying to be rude to anyone who owns a pit bull
mine starts bouncing in place if he wants to do a bunch of tricks. he’s so proud of all his tricks, and loves an audience.
🥲🥲🤣😂😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰
I had an aussie cattle dog come into my life as a roadside rescue she was beyond awsome. From the first day till her last day she decided her job was "how can I make you happy?". My life hasn't been the same without her in it. Did it mention how much I hate the word cancer!
I taught my Heeler to sit up as a "say please", he promptly found his way into an outdoor dining area and started asking strangers to share with him. Very smart dogs and they will manipulate every situation.
Mine has a cute sooky stare with a big proud sit showing off how good he is when he wants food from anyone, he'll have food in his bowl but he just knows that human food is the best. Lol he's a mix too but I definitely se the blue heelers smarts come out in him so much
Mine is my service pup in training. People are surprised when they see him calm by my feet in line walking beside me when my hands are full and him waiting at the door until I let him know we are going. I try explaining I am his job. He is working when we leave the house. Give them a task and it won't matter if they are 6 months like mine or 7 years like other people's . Communication is key!
My Honey Blue- I'm personally raising her to be MY service dog, too. Yours is about a year old now, mine is just 5 mo.s now. I didn't know how much I could love, but now I do. 😊
@@bold810that’s awesome. Mine knows to sit before we go into any door, gate, or car. My girlfriend told me when she went to Walmart with my dog she didn’t realize until 15min later the leash wasn’t even on her. My dog never left her right leg.
Heelers are a great breed. I've grown up with heelersthey tune in so well. As a child I wasn't allowed off our property without one of our dogs when we lived up in the mountains there was a lot of transients. He was out bodyguard out blue and his brother. If anyone messed with me or my sister they risked getting their lips ripped of at the first squeak from me or my sister. He didn't fool around. His name was deceivingly named whimpy because he whimpered if we moved out of in front of our fireplace he would whimper and whine. Lol😂 his name was deceiving!
Absolutely! You will have the best help & support from her because she will love her job.
Sounds like basic training every dog should have tbh, annoys me when people act shell-shocked at a dog just being polite.
I have two blue heelers and they are absolutely the most intelligent and loving dogs I've ever owned. I'm absolutely enamored with them. But they need A LOT of work to keep their minds healthy.
That look at the end was adorable omg
Mine has so many jobs; clear the beach of birds, check the yard for snakes, point out any snakes, walk the kids to the jetty in the morning, case the butcher shop, steal a leg of lamb from the butcher, do a perimeter check, have a rest, pick the kids up from the jetty, walk them home, herd the chickens back into the coop, herd the guinea pigs back to the hutch, play,play, play!
How do you keep them from biting the chickens?
@@user-rf5ju5nz5u she has great word recognition. She knows 'friend' and 'work' for example she's introduced to the chickens as 'friend' she's also been around them since she was a puppy.
Honestly I don't know she just doesn't @@user-rf5ju5nz5u
I just lost my 10-yr old best friend last week, she was gorgeous, loyal, smart, all that! Blue heelers are by far the BEST dogs…I miss her deeply ❤️🩹🐾
So sad. 😢 we love them so much mines 5 years now he’s the greatest dog on the planet !!!! don’t waste any time getting another one. They are great loving dogs.
I recently lost my old cat. I used to sing him songs about his sagging belly 😅. It was my wife's best friend that accompanied her in distant and hard times. We miss him so much. We find comfort in knowing that if he loved us enough to defend us and cuddle us when we were sad, he loved us enough to wish us to continue to be happy without him.
What happened to her that she passed at 10? So sorry. I don't want to even think of that. I have 3 blueheelers and aussie will be turning 6 this week. She's the oldest. That is the hardest thing is having to let them go to heaven 😢. But they will be waiting for you and me!
Love my Cattle Dog. Very smart and they know they’re cute.
I have one , got him at 5 months because the original owner couldn’t handle him. The 10 day transition was hard nearly suicidal. Now he’s part of the family and knows it. Extremely protective no matter the size of the elephant.
We live on a boat traveling which is why I wanted a dog like this. It’s his job to protect and serve and he’s probably underpaid.
You live on a boat? How do you handle all the exercise he needs, that everyone is talking about. I'm picking up an abused rescue in a few days. I'm already wondering if I'm in over my head!
@@sewdutch2 They can be a TON of work. The best advice I can give is to make sure to spend time every day walking, playing with and mentally stimating the heeler. Mine is now 4 years old and MAN was it a journey. They also like to be on the go. He doesn't care if we get in the car for a 5 min trip or a 5 hour ride, he's happy to be there next to me. For mine we walk and do all sorts of searching games, fetch and other things. Consider getting a herding ball if you have a decent sized yard.
I got a dog back pack and add bottle of water on each side for added weight. That is how I survived the first 2 years it made my Red feel like he was going to work while we walk.
Acds require their owners to invest in their needs as intensely as they are invested in protecting us and our property. I think that's why we have so many people surrendering them. Acds are not and never will be a golden retriever. Acds require a serious commitment and relationship bond. It's sad to see that a lot of pet parents are not up to that for whatever reason.
Verdade, eles são incríveis, tenho um de 1 ano segue nois , sinceramente ele precisa de muita atividade física e mental , adora brincadeiras com os brinquedos , e cono você falou muitas pessoas acabam doando... o nosso sinto que não gosta de outros cachorros que não seja da família, acho que é da raça ne
I never realized what "a man's best friend" really meant, until I got a heeler.
Oh my goodness! He is not just adorable and obedient, but you can see that this interaction, for the pup, is just him hanging with his buddy. He's happy to follow commands and be focused because his training is how he connects!! Love it!
We have a Border Aussie mix and my eight year old Daughter trained it . Potty trained, jump, roll over, speak, wake up my Son, go to bed and the list goes on . Very smart dogs.
Wake up my son😂
I have a blue heeler and I love her ,with lots of training and work she is the best dog, people think blue heelers are to aggressive but that's not true every dog needs training and time
Verdade o meu ele é muito querido com pessoas principalmente crianças, mais com cachorros sinto que ele não gosta muito , os cachorros que não são da faamiia
My primarily ACD mutt was almost feral breeding stock for years, then abandoned, left in a shelter for months due to aggression, but her intelligence and motivation, like all ACDs, were the only things I needed to know to resocialize her around people and train her to be part of a pack again. The aggression isn’t inherent, but the intelligence is. Anyone with an enough commitment and patience can train an ACD; they want to learn.
Whatever happened,!
@@natbb9 are you asking? and what’re you asking exactly?
@@turkicnomad5632 Oh, I meant, "Whatever happened to your dog?"
@@natbb9 she’s the happiest wellbehaved, energetic 11yo you’ll ever see. And she’s been that good for 6 years. Loves puppies, protects and socializes them well, plays with huge dogs like she’s not just 40lb, and communicates exactly what she needs to me and other dogs. Whether they listen is out of our control, but she’s learned how to disengage for the most part.
Only bad thing that happened is she got into a fight with my mom’s 140lb, untrained, territorial sheep dog and lost a small chunk of her ear. I had to pull her out of it bc she wouldn’t give up, and I broke a finger in the process. The lesson is take care of your dogs and be their pack leader so something like that doesn’t happen.
@@turkicnomad5632 Awwwww!! What a sweetheart!
They are very loyal best dogs ever.
My blue heeler is 4 now and it has been about 3 years of constant work with him as he just started to calm down in the last year or so. Man what a ride but he was totally worth it.
Mine is a mix rescue...he was a maniac for a few months as a teething pup.
He is the kindest sweetest spoiled boy in the world
Grew upon a Cattle Farm here in Canada. My Grandfather bred and trained Blue Heelers. I have only had Heelers as pets for 38 years, absolutely love them. I have a Pack of 5 right now and they are my best friends lol. So much misinformation about these dogs out there, in my opinion they are the BEST dogs. So smart and energetic... let alone handsome as hell lol. Doesn't matter what you want to do with them they will excel at it with the proper patience and training from their owner. Remember, there is no such thing as a Bad Dog... just Shitty Owners 🤟
Oi podre me ajudar em alguma dúvidas? Tenho um de 1 ano, ele é um amor obediente , querido com pessoas e crianças, mais sinto que ele não curte cachorros que não seja os da família... alguma dica para mudar isso ou é da raça mesmo
Yes !!!! Can you help me too !!! We have Dusty !!!! I am desperate!!! He is all Australian Cattle Dog 🙏🙏🙏🙏🌠🌻🌠🔥🔥🔥🐈⬛🐈⬛🐾🐾🐾💯‼️🎯🎯🎯🎯🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰We are in Massachusetts but we can pay or work something out
@@elizabethledo4018 I love in Nova Scotia, Canada... I'm not sure what you are asking me to help with?
Best dogs. Super smart and need lots of exercise. These are not 2 walks a day dogs. They need a job.
Hours of exercise, or they will find their own entertainment and that may include chewing on everything in sight.
I've had the pleasure of raising 3 Blue Heeler's. You need to start training them early on, or they will try to train you. They are also very sensitive dogs. Yelling at them will create a mistrustful heeler.
Older they get of course the less demanding they are stimulative wise.
🥰 the way he tilted his head at the camera in his sit pretty was SO CUTE 🥰 ❤❤
My red heeler trixy best dog ever dad is stuck in hospital bed and wheelchair....she cheers him up so much ....when i see them happy it takes my mind off his situation ....my bro passed years ago on a motocycle and mom just died suddenly a few months ago...now its just me and my old man and our trixy. I think mom sent her to take care of us...she just showed up one day laying on the porch. BEST Ride or die DOGGO EVER!!!!
I love watching people do what they love to do
I'm on day 5 with a 9 week old Mini Texas heeler, and I must say she is such a smart and loving puppy. She is almost fully potty trained, knows how to sit and lay down already, plays fetch, independently plays with her toys, and learning what gentle means when play fighting. I have been going easy on her with training since she is so young, but boy has she surprised me in so many ways. I can already tell what an amazing dog she is going to turn out to be. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He so smart and loves to work and play 👍👍👍❣️❣️🐶🐶🐶🦴🦴👍👍
Loyal, awesome, smart and NEED A JOB
A previous neighbour of mine had one in the yard with nothing to do ever, barked 24/7 and was often left alone for days at a time. Neglect not bad enough to have the dog removed apparently. Drove everyone insane until they got kicked out.
Precious angel...thank you for giving a happy chance at life... extremely intelligent....in need of comfort and security...and someone to love.
He is my everyday companion, and I love him dearly
Then, you are both Angels...with much love ...many many happy healthy years together....🙏💕 ~Cat
You are doing a great job with him. I volunteered at an RSPCA shelter in Queensland & we would always have to give extra time with the Heelers & Kelpies. They excelled with puzzles & loved to use their brains.
I got my girl from an abusive home as a puppy and I didnt know what I was in for. I never had heard of a cattle dog. I thougbt id be fine bc i have taken animal behavior classes, dog training classes and volunteered w rescues and shelters my whole life. Lol no i cried for like the first yr almost everyday thinking I was never going to figure her out. It wasnt until i forgot EVERYTHING I had learned and just focused on getting to know her that we got in a groove. Three years later I am so thankful I never gave up. Shes my soul dog and the best thing that ever happened to me
That dog is super photogenic
Best dogs ever, but they are not people pleasers.
And they are smart enough to know what they want to do and what they don't.
My 8 year old is great, but my 18 month old female is trying my patience.. but we'll get through it.
I agree, they can be very strong willed at times. However I love how different all dogs personalities can be, just like people they definitely can be the same breed but different in many ways! Both your pups sound amazing, Im so glad you found us 🐾
I have 2 Huskies mixed with Australian Cattle, both are brother and sister from the same litter and are 2 years and I can confidently say I was not expecting to have these types and wanted a more laid back dog who listens. But after having my since the age of 1 month, I can also confidently say that they have changed me way more than I've changed them. Because of them I knew I had to constantly train them/play with them/run with them/ and bond with them, and although this was hard at first and extremely annoying, I'm so glad I have them because I've never been as active and as outdoorsy in my life before I had them. I feel healthier and happier to just get out 5-6 times a day for an hour each and seeing how happy they are and how tired they get after a long day makes me so proud. They really do love the outdoors and love burning all that energy. Although I don't have specific jobs for them, just seeing them active and free brings joy to my heart and in return I bring joy to their hearts. Love you Jack and Maya🐶🐾❤️
Wow what a combo in dog breeds. Lol!
I had a blue heeler at the age of 11, she arrived to my Parents house after being hit by a car, due to the owner not teaching her. I spent hours teaching Kylie and she was a fast learner. I taught her all sorts of things and I had the best dog ever. ❤❤
They are the greatest dogs on earth.
Heelers are the most human looking dogs
nah kelpies
Really? I think poodles are the most human looking
Schnauzers, but I see your point
I just got 2 of them and they are ridiculously smart. Been enjoying them though it’s a definite process my first official dogs and I’m doing best to train them to be able to take hiking with me and running eventually. This is cool video thanks!
They are both 17 weeks this Sunday. 🙂
We have the most amazing dog.
He is a mix of boxer, pit bull, and blue heeler. He is intelligent, strong, loving and busy. We are taking care of him for our daughter while she serves some time, so we (hubby and I) working with him on training so that when she comes home, we'll show her our techniques. Then she'll have a "job" to keep her and her fur baby busy with a "job".
This video was immensely helpful for me to realize that a "job" is what Easy peasy is missing.
Subscribed! Thank you! ❤
Hippe sabotage really fits your vibe!
This dog is amazing. You have done good my friend!
You must show them you're the leader. Otherwise they will feel that they must lead, thus the aggression.
I’d love to find a man like this… one who is into animals as much or more than me. I love this man just based off of what he does!
This motivates me so much , my almost 1 year blue Heeler can do the off leash beside me for a little bit and the walking backwards. I just gotta continue working hard ! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Will ways try to ankle bite you
Teaching hand signs will help them stay focused on you.
They can be taught people are not to be treated like cattle.@@patriciaotoole6508
1 year later since my comment … I’m a dog trainer now . I would of never got this job without my blue Heeler . Thank all of you blue Heeler trainers on UA-cam keeping me motivated
They are one of the most impressive dog breeds on earth
I have a 10 week old male Blue Heeler/German Shepherd mix. He’s precious, cuddly and intelligent. Everyone is saying he’s going to turn and kill us all. I’m trying to learn how to prevent this. I want him to be a forever member of our family. ❤😢
Hes so handsome n smart. I live this breed very smart n loyal ❤
These are absolutely the smartest loveable dogs.
Love his T-shirt.
Agree! Kelpies too. I have a Kelpie/Jack Russell & she must always have a job to do.
My rescue darling amazes me everyday with her intelligence!!
Mine is an aussie mix. Due to the genes, he's smart and understands commands very fast. However, due to the mixed breed, he doesn't seem eager to do something I guess. We've got the best of both worlds which is a pet who's fast in learning commands and oh! A good guardian! He guards our house. It's incredible that he doesn't care about people that walk outside our gate, but as soon as someone he doesn't know or doesn't look like a customer (we own a gear workshop) enter the gate, he'll bark. Just bark though, to warn us.
My shepherd cattledog mix is cray cray,but so smart lol they're a tough mix breed
Running through all ur vids and got to say watching the dog response to commands is 🔥🔥🔥👌
I've always thought cattle dogs are so incredibly beautiful and sweet! I never have known any dog to be aggressive unless they were taught that or treated badly. Your dog is so cute❤
Yes there are awesome I have a bluey too
Lol at the end the dog is like whaaaaaat?
Now this is awesome. We had blue heelers on our dairy farm and were brilliant. Bred for work.
That look at the camera person like "are you the one holding this street process up?" So cute! 🥰
I have a blue named Cowboy hes the best dog! Such a smart breed! ❤
Love my lil cow dog. I feel she has so much to say but can’t say it yet. I want to try out word buttons with her
Have an 8 year-old heeler everybody in our area knows & likes. On his birthday, got a call from a friend who volunteers at a shelter, people were setting up a date to surrender a 9 month-old "Good boy." Now? Yeah, I have 2 heelers...they are something
They often need so much engagement.
Anyone who said they won arguments with their dogs never owned an Australian Cattle Dog!
Love the shirt!😁❤️
I have a couple of them and boy are they tough to teach but incredibly smart one time we had a puppy CLIMB the fence we put them in 😂😮
Your a very good trainer. 😊
Have a 3yr old Pit Healer mix got her at 8 weeks old. By far requires the most work I’ve ever had to put in to a dog but man she’s the most loving and the most fun at the same time
Blue healers are smart and cunning I had a beautiful girl and she was so super sweet and cunning but a great companion. We worked together. She loved playing games
We rescued a 1 year old Australian Kelpie about two years ago. She was a surrender to the animal shelter because she kept killing chickens on the farm she was born on. She is so incredibly energetic & intelligent, truly a remarkably smart & loving dog. She has light brown hazel eyes that stare right through your soul. She’s such an intensely alert dog that loves me like I’ve never seen before. She is so protective & will make the strangest sound & nip at my husband when he gives me a hug. Never trying to hurt him, just letting him know she’s watching him.
Something we’ve done to keep her busy is hiding kibble inside homemade dog toys. I’ll take a bunch of scrap fabric & put pieces of kibble inside as I tie them all into knots. Then I’ll soak the fabric in bone broth & freeze it.
I know this sounds crazy, but it’s super easy & my Lola girl absolutely loves it & will be busy deconstructing it for nearly an hour. Licking & sniffing are very soothing to dogs & in the Alabama summer heat it’s a welcomed challenge that she absolutely loves & looks forward to every day.
This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen yet
This breed is a gift. They are a working breed and need just that. The training for 'obedience' is for show. This is a very physically capable dog and thrives on its joy of sheparding.
2 thumbs up for ACD's 😉. I have a blue one
Love your channel and love your dogs
That's badass. Awesome video. My healer does stuff like that. I can put a steak off the grill on the ground and she won't touch it until I tell her she can eat it. I love healers. They are so smart. Just keep them busy and they won't disappoint.
I would describe it like that imagine you were bred to do NBA. You trained your whole life, you saw your parents play basketball, your siblings played it, your grandparents played it. You were promised that your life will be tough and hard so you need to have high energy and resilience. But in the end you were put in the nursing home to look after old people.
Do your thing, amazing best short I've seen in awhile. I've been fortunate myself to have heelers in my life, on my 3rd one, amazing companions
They both know what they're doing
My cattle dog Daisy May who will be 17 years old on August 1st is the best most loyal non aggressive dog I’ve had. She’s so intelligent, she’s basically human.
You and your pup are AMAZING 👏 😍 ❤️
I just lost my Pepper a few days ago, and this boy reminds me so much of her. She was an amazing dog... and aggressive? Only if you threatened her people. Other than that, she was very social, sweet, and a total suck. Not to mention phenomenally smart. I will miss her always.
I like your training a lot better than the other popular dog trainer on here. You train like I was taught to.
I grew up with a Border Collie. Herding dogs are so amazingly smart. I wish I had room for another pet!
This is precious
I've got GSD X Blue heeler X Rednose pitty, he's so good with the families kids, I walk around with him off lead and go to the dog park with no problems with him. He only has issues with strangers at the house sometimes but that's fair ig he hasn't hurt anyone and don't intend to anytime soon he's a beautiful dog because he's been around beautiful people, spread the love and your dog will spread it back.
My heeler hikes without acting the fool. All I could ask from her
They are sooooo smart!!!
Just watched a show about the origins of this breed. They were created from dingos only back on the 1920s. They still have alot of wild blood in them, so without strong training i can see how they could be too much too handle. People just need to read about a breed before they think about owning one, for any dog.
Used to be a gas meter reader and one of these dogs was on my route. I never went in that yard because every time I would go it would hit the fence jump off bark jump up and hit the fence again. I kept skipping the house and the people got guesstimates on the bill I guess it got high enough so they left me a note saying the dog just wants to play and left me a ball to throw it and I love dogs so I tried it I had different dogs on my routes that I knew I could play with and distract them. I threw the ball, he ran and got it so I had to make sure I threw it a lot farther, as far as I could so I'd have time to read the meter before he got back to me LOL he was a sweetheart 💕
My blue heeler does the exact same thing while walking. She herds caddie and is a service dog at the same time. I could not live without my girl. She is amazing
I had an Aussie shepherd pittie mix and she was wild when inside too long, but got along great with other dogs. We had record snow and brought her in the house and by the second day she grew restless and gnawed through the screen and jumped right through the glass window, she was fine despite the glass and 15 ft drop.
Trust, training and love
Always training the dog as he enjoys and needs it.
You have to love them as fiercely as they love you back. Remember, to an ACD, you are their god. To me, my pup is mine.
Mine still trying to ankle bite
Mine gets over excited and bites my hand.
Buddy of mine has a queensland and she is the smartest dog I've ever worked with. I know lots of people say that, but this was mine. I swear she's a person reincarnated. You can talk to her and she'll almost hold a conversation with you. Whole laundry list of commands, and she lives for her ball. That's her motivator. She loves working and knows when it's time to play.
❤❤😂😂adorable so smart great job 🐶❤️
Great dogs. Not for beginning or stupid people. I got a Blue heeler rescue at 2 years and she lived to be 15. Very sweet and high energy. There were a few late nights that I had to drive to the grocery store to buy more tennis balls after she popped the last ones demanding to play fetch.
My blue heeler has bit people before, but I think it’s because we have been keeping him in the garage a lot because of sported and stuff. It will probably get better over the summer because I want to take him more places and maybe let him run next to the quad. Oh and we’re getting goats for him to herd (but that’s only if the stupid barn builder guy calls my dad back)
O my Dog! Adorable.
Heelers also have a tendency to pick one person and defend them to their last breath. My family dog turned into my dog when he decided I was his person. He has attacked my friends, my family, and every single animal he sees as a threat. I have trained I’m to be better, but to this day he is still fiercely loyal
Typical Aussie's gotta love a Blue Heeler!👍🏻❤
