Short sessions daily work better than one long one. Hide treats, name toys, simple obedience. Twenty focused minutes goes a long way.

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.

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.

You are not imagining it.

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.
