Clever Blue Heeler puppy Training 3 months old 

It is there importing them into ameweca

Wow! I hope Beau lives that long 🤗 That’s one good thing about the ACDs, they live long lives!

Awesome! I learned it from dog trainers, so it’s definitely not original.

I followed more of a balance training method because I needed a well trained dog for my young children. They are some strong willed pups for sure but balanced training has been amazing for us! I think it’s what’s kept us out of that rebellious phase I hear heelers go through. Beau is a bit over a year now, and today marks a year since we got him 🤗 Glad to hear yours is settling down 😄

Mine is 1&1/2, most of the time he's a good boy, but still way too overprotective of me and will try to go after someone.

My guy is 17 months ...he's a handful🥰

They always need something to do. Especially the first 3 years. These are working dogs

@@ckk1122 you have to constantly work with. Letting them what you expect, and rewarding, because of their intelligence they need constant training for the 1st couple years, and activities

Absolutely!

The Kelpie is the other one!

@@mhaney1111 yeah I have a all black kelpie pup right now highly intelligent.

I have to agree! I am biased though 😅

Happy to inspire a fellow heeler owner. You’ve got this!

Heh, we have a running joke about all the animals my heeler is clearly made up of that aren't dogs. She wriggles like a snake, plays like a cat, slinks like a dingo, has a tongue like a giraffe, has a kind of ratty face and her spots and shape put one in mind of a hyena. Her howl is like something between a wolf and a fox and it is often a howl more than a bark. Or if she's being quiet it's like an angry pigeon. Weird little alien beast.

Heelers are so intelligent! I’ve heard collies are too. Sounds like a perfect combination ❤️

Why thank you! And I’m so sorry, that must’ve been so difficult 😥

That’s nice of you to say, thank you!

I couldn't agree more!

Heeler pups sure do have a way of doing that to people 😍

He really is 🥲

I agree with everything you said! Training is key. It takes work but it’s worth it! ❤️

Sounds like you have your hands full! I bet it’s a blast though. I miss Beau being a puppy sometimes! Oh and thank you 😊 Training him was fun!

Thanks for sharing! She sounds extra special ❤️

Well they were bred down from dingos

Cool

Well done. I used Spanish, German and French with my girl.

That’s so nice of you to say 😄 Wow! Sounds like fun! I miss having a puppy around. Beau is 18 months old now. Starting fresh is a challenge but the rewards make up for it! Have fun with those pups 🤗

I would love to! The only thing is he’s not this itty bitty anymore. I don’t do as much daily training as I used to have to do. He’s still a good boy though. 🤗 I may upload non-training videos in the near future!

Oh I best that’s a major adjustment for her! I hope your girl warms up to the new pup 🐶

Nice! They are known to be Velcro dogs, so I’m sure he or she is a wonderful companion to have! 🤗

I have the links to the videos I used to train Beau in the description! I’m self-taught. Every command takes 10-15 minutes for them to learn, and then you just keep it up. I trained 1-2 times a day using kibble for the first 3 months. He hasn’t forgotten any commands and I don’t use them all everyday. You can do this! ❤️

😆

Aww! They are the best! No I do not. We’ve definitely thought about breeding, but haven’t had the time or chance to look into it. I hope you can find a heeler that suites you though!

This is the only thing that worked. I have kids and needed it to stop immediately. It’s controversial but it’s what kept my 5 year old at the time from crying. He singled her out and when she said “ow” he bit down harder. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Danf80V6low.html

Shock collar is what the trainers use

If you have kids, they'll eat up a young heeler's energy. They are smart and extreamly athletic. So long as you provide them their daily active needs they will leave you and your house be. Fetch is a great way to quickly wear out a heeler. If you adopt a heeler that is older, say over 5, and had not been socialized a lot and used to few people, then no. Heelers are the only domesticated wild dog, so the only real issue you have to think about is knowing the scope of territorial agression. My heeler was almost killed by an escaped fighting dog in my front yard, so now she wants to murder other dogs but will cuddle with cats. I used to train wolves and work with abused dogs. Worry less about your house being damaged, and more about how socially opinionated the heeler is. Get one as a puppy, and you can train the dog to do anything.

If you have time to train them, meaning you train yourself to train them (I couldn’t afford a trainer so I watched RU-vid training vids) or hire a trainer and implement training from the get-go, then yes, they are great with kids. If you cannot afford a trainer and don’t have the time to put into training, don’t get a heeler. It takes effort, but my heeler doesn’t bite or rough house with my 2 children. When he came to me at 6 weeks old, he went after my then 5 year old daughter and made her cry. She “yelped,” and he dug in harder. He went from that to running with her and not after her. He’s a perfect dog in so many ways. Heelers are VERY intelligent! They learn FAST! You just have to have the time and effort to teach them and stay consistent. He will test boundaries from time to time, but I just remind him in a stern tone and he won’t test in that area for a long time. He doesn’t tear ANYTHING up that isn’t his. That boundary was set when he came into my house. He also doesn’t enter rooms, that boundary was set when he came home. He doesn’t get on couches. I think you get the point. Training starts the moment they come into your house because habits are made fast. That’s long and I could go on and on. I will be posting video links in the description to the RU-vid playlists and vids that helped me learn!

@@annetteysquierdo I am a retired veteran and I have time to train the dog. I guess chew toys are needed too. I also travel a lot so he could go with me everywhere. Can you get them used to cats?

@@haroldream3270 Wonderful and thank you for your service! You may want to join some Facebook groups to see other heeler owner’s experiences. I have seen all sorts of heelers on the group pages. I’ve seen them good with cats but I’m sure just like anything else you’d have to expose them as much as possible when he/she first gets to you or they may not be. That goes for people, or anything you want them to be ok with. I’ve seen plenty of traveling heelers too. They are very loyal and I’ve heard good things about them being a companion on the road. I’m sure you can ask and see what others say about it though! Just a warning, a lot of people in heeler Facebook groups will laugh off bad heeler behavior and say “they were born to herd cattle, what do you expect?” Ignore them. Any dog can be trained. They just don’t have the time to do it or bought the lie that instinct is a life sentence and heelers can’t be raised with good manners. An example: they say nipping children is to be expected- I trained my heeler not to herd my children by 3-4 months old (I have a video here showing that) and others have done it also (link in my description). Don’t let those people convince you any different!

I trained him at this point for 1.5-2 months. I used his kibble everyday for 3 months straight.

Enjoy your pup! Take lots of pics, they grow so fast!

I remember that pain! Balanced training helped us in that department. I had Beau not chasing my kids by 3 months old. Heelers are smarter than we give them credit for!

They play by biting but when Rascal gets too rough i tell him NO, too rough and he will stop. Bones, chew toys all help.

@@annetteysquierdo to

My heeler rescue bit me for 3 months then I got a Dogstra E collar and it was like night and day, she loves it and it works great, stopped a lot of bad habits on day 1 , she now knows what no means, very effective and does not hurt the dog. Recommended by my trainer, she runs off leash and comes when called, no longer chases cars, stops chasing deer when called and still crawls onto my lap for cuddles. I got her at a year old from the shelter never been trained, now 8 months later and she is a good dog.

@@LS-gv7pn Thanks for sharing! We also have an e-collar!

It began at 6 weeks old, training him to hear a marker word, and then giving treats. I have the training videos I learned from in the description. I hope that helps!

It’s all consistent training! I had to train myself (loads of RU-vid videos) and then my pup. 😅

@@annetteysquierdo I'm even still struggling with her potty training 😭

@@ivanjo6478 I’m sorry to hear that! Introducing hanging bells on the doorknob for Beau changed everything for us! Maybe I’ll post an old vid of when he first learned how to use them. He was itty bitty but he caught on fast! Also, no pee pads (in case you didn’t know) as that can confuse them.

@@annetteysquierdo hanging bells? Thanks.. I'll look into it. Yes, everyone recommending me to get a pee pad to train to pee at home but it's been a disaster in my case. Now I'm having her potty outside and so far so good but accident still happens

I offered the training videos I learned from in the description! I’m not a professional. If I can do it, so can anyone else! 😊

I hear you! Good news! I already provided all the videos of trainers doing what you asked in the description, with details of how I used those videos to help me train. I truly hope that helps! 🤗

@@annetteysquierdo aww, thank you so much. I will take a look at those videos and I really appreciate it a lot, especially for not judging or criticizing. I can see you understand what I'm going through and those videos will help me out a lot. May I also ask if I go to your youtube page is that where I'll view them

@@annetteysquierdo another thing i wanted to ask is that my puppy was doing well in the beginning and was starting to get it down except the bathroom situation but my question was that we got a new small pug and they get along perfectly fine but since qe got the small one, I feel like if he's doing it either for attention or just intentionally and the thing is that my partner and I do our best to give our blue heeler as much as attention if not more then the small one and for some reason he throws himself on his back and will pee most of the time on himsemf kind of especially when we're just scolding him, so are we doing something wrong?..

@@ernestohurtado431 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VuR4wkavA3k.html I found a video, this is the same method used on puppies. The answer is going back to the basics. He gives the answer at minute 13 and 10 seconds in. Follow that RU-vid channel! He’s my favorite dog trainer. He goes live on Wednesdays and Friday’s and can literally answer any question you have! He seriously has all the answers. I hope that helps! 😊 The description box is at the bottom of every video on RU-vid.

Our family loves that show! 🤗

What exactly are you struggling with? Maybe I can help!

😒

Training like a dumb animal? I’m curious, what does that mean exactly? What is ignorant about training a dog? Is it that he uses his brain to think and exert energy for a tasty treat? Is it that he enthusiastically obeys and is happy to follow a command? Does he look scared to enter his crate as if he hates it?
