I have 2 siblings from the same litter, both males and they are synced and do everything together but they constantly fight.
Good luck to the both of us, hope we figure it out. You have to communicate with your dog. And tell them this is mine. This is yours. They are smart. Holly got it fairly quickly. Also the more you talk to them the more they seem to understand. My 7 month old blue heeler has been aggressive towards children under 10 but she does fine with adults. How do I get her to be good with children and not aggressive.
Hi Gabi, It sounds like you would benefit from booking some sessions with a canine behaviorist that uses modern positive reinforcement techniques. Your local vet should have the contact details of someone in your area. Just be sure you avoid anyone who might punish this behavior, as it can exacerbate the issue and remove warning signs.
We adopted a 3 year old rescue girl. Always a risk with blueys, as mis-treated animals can be aggressive, but our girl was quiet but still traumatised by her mis-treatment as a pup.
She always needed someone at home with her. Luckily we were in a position to supply this. JJ Jade is now 11 and still in good health if a bit white around the face. Her favourite spot is on top of a blanket box in front of our front window so she can watch and smell the world go by. This is part of her guarding the house.
If someone is coming to the front door, she lets us know. But if we accept them, she accepts them. She has a tendency to put on weight, so a daily walk is essential.
Happy to let anyone pat her — no problem at all. Did I mention pushy? When she first came home with us she tended to walk behind you and push you with her nose to get you to move on. Other blueys may nip your heels, but JJ never did that. Blueys are bred to control herds of cattle and move them about, so people are an easy gig.
Typically by sitting and staring at you, but occasionally by standing in the way if you are going the wrong direction. Traits I would never try to dispel! Why would anyone try to suppress their natural instict?? Please dont try and change your dog.
If they are naturally aggressive and protective what fool would change that? Wonderful breed if you put in the work up front. And pay attention to the environment. Once we solved for the instigator, we solved most of the bluey issues. His parents were working cattle dogs but Zeke needed to be able to go town or country which worked out very well. Also having 3 cats prior to his appearance was not a problem for him. Wolfgang, the big ginger, slept with him every night.
The sitting and staring to go out was pretty funny. I thought it was just him. My husband bought a blue heeler for me just before he died. My sister is an amateur dog trainer, and her advice has helped.
Reading these posts have helped, also. On the other hand, sometimes I think if I just wait it out, things will get better, especially when I move. Please think twice about reforming her. I find myself in about the same situation. Grief, putting my life together and a full of life pup…. Just recently, I have noticed a huge change in her… She is settling in and things are going better. We recently had an experience where a cub came onto the porch, the front door was closed.
I heard a noise, never considering a bear, I went to open the door. She put herself between me and the door and kept pushing me away.
When I went around her, she jumped and knocked me over into the chair and immediately was licking my face…. When I regined myself and stopped laughing I did open the door… To find claw marks on my steps and porch. She has proven herself to me, living in the country!
Good luck to you and your baby…. It could Save your life!!! These dog are worth any irritation they give off!! Would you want someone to change what you inherited and like about yourself?
If you like being under constant protection and fierce love get a cocker spaniel or a poodle! We currently have 3 now and the oldest is 15!!! They have all been raised with our kids and grandkids with lots of love for all of them? We have an 11 week old Blue Heeler. Already knows how to ring the bell to be let out. Wait, etc. Sounds typical of wanting to play!
Take her on a long walk run! My heeler is a nut! Very aggressive but she will defend me to the death never change that!! Let it be and roll with it.
We have an 18month old Blue Heeler, who we watched from birth we know his parents owners , and who arrived with us as a very small puppy. Our other dog is an older 12 years miniature poodle, who was initially slightly bigger than our new arrival.
That has changed, and he is now 30kg to her 8. Beautiful, loving dog who loves cuddles, and is friendly to everyone, whether person or dog. He jumps at everyone, though, which people find scary. He is hard work, though. Demanding play a couple of times a day. This is active play, with either a pull toy or, his favorite, a Kong ball.
Very clever, and easy to train. We have two teenagers at home, and a big property, so he gets a lot of running and fetching in. Great dog, if you have the room and time. I live in an apartment! She rules! Nobody touching me without a problem!!! WE have a nine yrs old Bluie female loves running ,playing etc.
She growls at anyone patting her even me ,her boss,I tell my wife she is purring like a cat. The 20 months old Red Heeler female, Missy jumps on everyone that annoys our visitors,she has fear attacks lately, but get a lot of love from us ,we rescued her at aged 11 months.
Loves playing with toys and rounding up our Chooks chickens if we let them out on our 1 acre,but kills them by holding them down. We love her so will probably get rid of the chickens.
They both love riding in our car wanting the front seat every time,??? Merci Hello, I have a female Blue for 4. I would like to know how much this breed cost in ? To see the evolution until today. All the tests related to the breed were done by the breeder. I did not find any information about this. Thank you. I adopted a 5 year old blue heeler 9 years ago. I know his age because he was a stray dog with a collar and tag. The person who found him could not keep him so he came to me.
She and I contacted the vet listed on his tag. He is 14 now. He has been a great dog. Whoever originally had him did some very good training. Some was overboard, though. Originally, he would not let me pet him and when I would played with him, he was very rough. At that time, I had two other smaller dogs but he treated them well.
Never was aggressive towards them. It took time but now, he allows me to pet him and he has gentled his play so I am not covered in bruises like I was before. He has been a very good dog. He is intelligent. Even though, he is fourteen years old even my vet comments on the fact that he shows little sign of being an older dog. I have had no regrets for adopting this wonderful animal. We got a rescue puppy who is now 7 months old and 34 lbs.
Recently we had a DNA test done on her and found out she is She sheds terribly and I have never had a dog that sheds before. We live in Nebrasksa where it snows. I rescued a 5 year old deaf healer. I disagree with the article suggesting caution adopting a deaf healer. Frankly I am now prone to seek them out. They are amazed he responds to signs, where I remember to share the fact he is deaf.
My husband brought me home a 9 week old rescue puppy. We know that it is part Cattle dog, according to two separate vets and he looks and acts like it.
Have no idea what else. Has a white tail like a husky curls. But not floofy. Black ears and orange along the inside ridge. Body is white with lots of ticking. Slowly getting more coloring. But has this week, wavy soft but coarse hair down his spine. Has actually been the easiest dog to train, besides my childhood Border Collie. My puppy loves a squeaky ball as a reward or tiny blueberry dog treats.
Really loves his ball. About 12 weeks old and knows begining basic obedience. Sit, Sit Stay, Down, Down stay, back up. Working on heel, leave it,etc. We do puzzle games,walk around my property, car rides,shopping,etc. Likes the balls in a muffin pan game, with tennis balls on top. A treat underneath them. He loves the cattle ranch on the side of my property.
He sits on the deck, watchs and smiles. He loves everyone in my home. But seems to have mainly attached to just me. My dogs go just about everywhere with me. So, definitely socializing him. The people at the feed store love him. Originally, severe food aggression. Would bite people and animals if given the chance.
A bone or two is also nice to have for their young teeth and bones grow strong. The good part is that you have chosen a blue heeler, an exceptional breed for both short and long term quality. Blue Heelers also make it easy for first time dog owners for training. When getting this very intelligent Australian Cattle Dog breed, they are very teachable for new things from very early on.
For the most part, this is what makes the Blue Heeler so coveted over other dog breeds. Even though the puppy is quick to learn new tricks and good behaviour, likewise it can be easy to train poor behaviour into them also. What time you put into them the good you will get out of them. Times change. An example of old school of what not to dois :. All joking aside, the truth is if you do this, you could injure them and they will probably not want to work for you at all… except when you are not looking.
This will only add salt to your wound to see them work for your wife and kids but not you. So be patient, loving, and most importantly, be consistent. So do yourself a favour, no old school kicking. Your voice:. The pitch and tone of your voice can have a lot of power. A growl in your voice works well, when needed to bring correction. The puppy remembers this from their mother. Likewise, using a soft voice of praise with some petting on their side when they do well, goes a long way.
How to get my dog to come to me? It is important to raise your voice so they can hear you when they are working. The key here is, whatever you use just be consistent in tone and word. For a young pup, the leash is a good tool for learning to come.
