Q&A
answer · Blue Heeler
Short sessions daily work better than one long one. I do five minute training reps before work. Saves the evening chaos. Trainer said the same thing and I did not believe it until I tried. Mental work actually calms my dog down.
answer · Blue Heeler
Yes, I'd still choose my Australian Cattle Dog. Their intelligence and loyalty are unmatched. Plus, their playful nature always brings joy to my days.
answer · Blue Heeler
My Heeler is pretty cautious but friendly with strangers. It often takes a few minutes for him to warm up, but once he does, he’s all about making new friends!

One time I caught my Catahoula attempting to 'help' me with laundry. He dragged socks around the house, looking so proud. It's moments like these that remind me why I love him so much.
question · Blue Heeler
Would you recommend a Catahoula Leopard Dog?
answer · Blue Heeler
I think a Blue Lacy can be a great choice for active families looking for a loyal companion. They thrive on human interaction and can be fantastic working dogs, especially on farms.
answer · Blue Heeler
She’s all about running and playing fetch. It’s great exercise for her, too. Blue Lacys are known for their high energy, so I always keep her active. We spend a lot of time outdoors playing.

My Blue Lacy has this quirky habit of barking at her reflection. She'll stand in front of the mirror and have a full conversation with herself. It cracks me up every time!

Short sessions daily work better than one long one. I do five minute training reps before work. Saves the evening chaos. Keep sessions short and end on a win. Enthusiasm matters more than drilling the same thing for an hour. Still figuring it out like everyone else, Jackson.

Ranger will fetch until I quit. Scent work or a new trick tires him out faster than ball forever.
