Finally a video of someone actually showing a heeler getting excited, not enough people show this stuff. My heeler ripped my bicep getting excited on a leash. These tips are very helpful, it was then I realized I wasn’t dealing with any ordinary breed. Thanks for your content, I’m a 1st time heeler owner and the dog has changed our lives
Much of the evidence shows that Heelers have more dingo in them than what some people might have claimed. People claimed there were additional breeds mixed in, but there was no evidence for it. There is really only evidence for Dingo and some kind of Cur that no longer exists. And then it was rebred again multiple times with either more Dingo or presumably Cur until they ended up with two stable breeds: The Australian Cattle Dog and the Australian Stumpy Tail. Certainly, there is MUCH more dingo than people believe today. I doubt the original breeding program would have been legal today. They would have been considered something like a wolf hybrid. But we have tamed them to a great degree, and they are excellent working dogs.
Good video, straight to the point, good content and without that annoying sponsoring in the middle of the video. I learned a lot thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
My step dad taught me the mouth divot thing when I was training our beagle when I was real young. He said you just grab there but applying no pressure. He said stay stiff so that any pressure comes from the dog as it tries to bite my hand. Thats what teaches it not to bite. Is this right?
Beautiful Heeler. I have an American Akita and I’ve learned so much from you. Hands down the most practical dog trainer. You gave me a lot of confidence with raising my dog. Thanks for all the valuable dog training techniques.
Pure Awesome Sauce Advice! I currently have 2 four month old Red Heelers & this advice is very helpful & instantly affective. Learning & recognizing the dog/puppies mannerisms right before (undesirable) behavior occurs, can help you redirect to something positive before the negative/ undesirable behavior even happens 👍 The Australian cattle dog is an incredibly smart breed Fantastic video Peter
Puppies bite instinctually. I’ve found best practice is to let them chew on a chew toy. They grow out of it pretty fast when they start getting adult teeth in.
I'm a dog trainer also. Curious on your thoughts of the self correcting head collars, like the halti? I find them to be a great training tool, but in my opinion, not a permanent solution. Personally I prefer collars with puppy's that young, and the head collars with adults.
head collars mean the dog isnt trained, if a dog knows heel it would not need a head collar. The head collar is about physics, changing the moment by controlling the dogs head, the dog try's to go forward the collar helps the owner by turning the dogs head. Its about power meaning the dog still isnt trained and like a halter with a horse a much bigger animal the human can control the horse or dog by head movement. Dogs need training not some gimmicky thing that is used for management, that's what it is its about management. Set up some traffic cones, learn how to correct the dog and start teaching heel proper. BTW their is no correction with a head collar so the sub species of the wolf will not learn, behaviors are just being managed not evicted. Best of luck
Hi Peter, thanks for the great vid series with Tracer. My yorkie pup is 16 weeks and about 3lbs - I tried the your divot suggestion but her mouth is so small that I can feel the incisors. Any tips for small yorkies or am I just an idiot doing something wrong?
I dont do the free tip thing, but here is your free tip. You got a dog, you have no idea what you are doing. Yes you are doing something wrong, you bought a dog and thought you would figure it out as it goes. Hey stupid, if you put your finger in a puppies mouth you will feel teeth, they have teeth. I bet you are using wee wee pads- thats just a guess. Good day to you cheap person looking for free stuff
Thanks for pointing out the obvious that I am stupid and that dogs have teeth - I fully expected to be criticised and would have been offended if you hadn't done so. This is our third dog who was bought at 8 weeks and was housebroken at 11 weeks by getting up in the middle of the night to bring her out for toileting - this is the first time that we have not used puppy pads thanks to your advice. We have also got rid of nylon collars and gotten leather collars for all 3 - again by following your guidance. I have brought up the topic of the raw food diet with household management and am currently seeking buy-in 😂. We are doing our best to ensure that the cute puppy is treated as a dog and not a human although training is not easy and requires persistence. I dip my hat to you as you make it look easy when in reality it takes great skill. Although you correctly class me as a free rider, I have recommended your channel to both friends and family and anyone I meet for a doggy chat when walking the dogs. Some people may see you as controversial or unconventional, however I see you as inspirational and a realist who really gets dogs. Thank you Peter. PS. I know you will still think of me as a stupid idiot but that's OK.
Thats different, hes most likely not the asshole if he was dealt with differently as a puppy u wouldn't be calling him a asshole. With that said my dog Tonka is a ass hole but its because he is hyperactive but he would never bite because I dealt with him proper
Does that hurt her? I don’t wanna hurt her. I’ve been wrestling with a rope but I think it’s teaching her to pull and chew on other stuff I have like clothes ect.
With my feral kitten I used to overreact if bitten and pretend it really hurt and I was really offended and it was the best way to get him to stop. Obviously dogs are way different but I was reassured when you mentioned that about the puppy at the end. Love your videos especially the bigfoot penis ones.
My friend insists to go outside w my dog everytime she goes pee because she thinks it builds a bond with her and the dog. Establishes trust but I think it’s just overboard on spoiling the dog. What do you think @peter Caine??
i think someone should be going outside with the dog, if you open the door let the puppy out while you drink coffee maybe give the dog to your friend. backyards are not good for dogs and if its a puppy your dog will be a mess. your friend has the right idea
@@PeterCaineDogtraining ah interesting, why are backyards bad? Would the front yard be better bc there’s no fence ?she stays within the boundaries even w distractions passing by. It’s a 9 month blue heeler and pretty trained up.
@@navajodoll6320 letting your dog wander by themselves in the fenced in yard (back or front) is not good because they start developing behaviors on their own, without your direction. You want to teach them how to respond to what they see and hear, you don't want to have them get into the habit of doing whatever comes "natural". Not to mention they can get into trouble or hurt themselves, etc. Loose, unaccompanied dogs in a fenced in yard develops bad behaviors.
Ok so i tried holding the dogs lower jaw but once I let go he goes right back to biting 😐 not sure if I’m doing something wrong ? He’s a 3 month old dachshund and gets super hyper and just won’t stop biting.
Unless you have Huskies... your wrong about play sparring and right about basic obedience training. Guess my heeler is one of the easy ones. Nose work is an even better option. Ok
Haha I love it, the whole video covering all angles so people don't take your advise the wrong way and then at 8.15 you cut to the chase - owe fuck! you bit me you idiot and at 8.20 she just goes for your hand and then you stroke her lol. So funny and sweet that you just softly put your hand out to just giving her a little stroke. I have 2 working cockers now and always recommend you to any idiots i know who get a puppy on a spur of the moment, just to try and save that pup from being given up.
New heeler owner first video that ive found effective and straight to the point info needed for owners.
Fr havent been able to find any good ones

yes, grab on but no pressure you dads description is great and will say it more like he did next time.. Thanks David Eats
@@PeterCaineDogtraining Thats great. I can confirm the method works. Like you say it’s about building trust with the dogs.
Love this realistic training scenario.
Why is there a naked doll in the backround hahahah
because it's pirate boy and his loin cloth is being redone along with other accoutrements

She is a beautiful heeler
I have a heeler pup and i am struggling. Will try this
my puppy is the same age as tracer, already housebroken thanks to your tips and these videos of her progress are really helpful especially this one.
Heelers will do what they want,when they want to!!
I use the thumb trick. It is the best thing I have found to correct this issue
How do we stop the nipping? Is it easy or takes time? Wondering if this would be the right fit for our family with two little kids.
My stumpy tail is 8 weeks, with me two days. I never knew that about the nylon collars 😱 Subscribed thank you.
She IS a cute little freak! ❤

PS. I know you will still think of me as a stupid idiot but that's OK.
You’re a legend Peter. I always remember your advice to asshole exotic pet owners: “buy a cactus “
Very nice, useful since i have an asshole dog but is a bit older than a puppy
Thats different, hes most likely not the asshole if he was dealt with differently as a puppy u wouldn't be calling him a asshole. With that said my dog Tonka is a ass hole but its because he is hyperactive but he would never bite because I dealt with him proper
@@PeterCaineDogtraining yes, i was just exagurating
Does that hurt her? I don’t wanna hurt her. I’ve been wrestling with a rope but I think it’s teaching her to pull and chew on other stuff I have like clothes ect.
I'm not doing this, you just keep doing it your way

Another great video. I really like this puppy ❤
Tracer is awesome
❤ A delight xoxo
thanks
This is the best tutorial 👍🏻
Do I put my thumb under the tongue or what ? He has pretty sharp little teeth and it kinda hurts
Great teaching, thank you Mr. Peter
8:45 that was so funny to me! 😂
