I bought three new toys this week... somehow my Lancashire Heeler is still obsessed with an old tennis ball 😂 Anyone else?

answer · Lancashire Heeler

My Lancashire Heeler is obsessed with a game of frisbee in the park. He’ll run full speed and leap to catch it. It’s impressive and showcases their agility. Plus, it’s a great way to burn off energy.

Lancashire Heelers are quite vocal, so be ready for some barking. They communicate a lot, which can be charming, but also overwhelming if you’re not prepared for it.

answer · Lancashire Heeler

Absolutely, my Lancashire Heeler is constantly checking up on everyone. They have this intense curiosity that keeps them in the loop on all household activities. It's amusing how they’ll follow me from room to room.

I let my Lancashire Heeler off leash during walks in the dog park. They are great at staying close, but I always have a few treats on hand. If they start wandering too far, a quick call usually brings them back. It’s fun to watch them interact with other dogs. Just be aware of their strong prey drive; they sometimes chase after small animals.

For me, it was training. Lancashire Heelers are intelligent but also quite independent. I had to use positive reinforcement consistently to keep her focused. I found that short training sessions worked best since their attention span isn't very long. It's great to see them learn, but it can be a challenge to keep their interest without them getting distracted.

Totally relatable! They're all about that boss life.

answer · Lancashire Heeler

At first, she can seem a bit standoffish. However, once she senses that someone is friendly, her whole demeanor changes, and she’s super playful. She loves to show off her tricks to get people to engage with her.

My trainer told me to teach an "off switch" instead of adding more exercise. Did that work for anyone?
