Short sessions daily work better than one long one. Hide treats, name toys, simple obedience. Twenty focused minutes goes a long way.
answer · Blue Heeler
I once saw my Catahoula trying to 'round up' the chickens in our yard. He was barking and running back and forth, thinking he was a herding dog!
question · Blue Heeler
If you could choose again, would you still get an Australian Cattle Dog?
answer · Blue Heeler
Short sessions daily work better than one long one. I do five minute training reps before work. Saves the evening chaos.
answer · Blue Heeler
I'd say their stubbornness can surprise you. Training requires patience, but it's so worth it!
answer · Blue Heeler
I would recommend a Catahoula Leopard Dog for active families. They thrive on companionship and love being involved in activities. Their unique coat patterns and intelligence make them stand out, but they do require consistent training to manage their energy.
answer · Blue Heeler
You are not imagining it.
answer · Blue Heeler
If you’re considering a Blue Lacy, just be prepared for their high energy. They need plenty of exercise, like running or hiking. This breed forms a strong bond with their owners and can be quite affectionate.
answer · Blue Heeler
Yep, mine is a bit shy but not aggressive.
question · Blue Heeler
What's the smartest thing your Blue Lacy has figured out without being taught?
answer · Blue Heeler
Three throws is a warm up. Flirt pole in the yard helps burn the edge off before we come inside.
