Prong collar = NOPE!

my dawg used to fight everyone in high school cuz he looked up to 50 cent. Now hes in jail

Yeah, listen, I can relate to her and the mindset she's bringing to this situation. When I was a "casual" dog owner, I'd go right back to the story I knew about the dog, or the tapes I played about their behavior. "He's just little and intimidated." "He's a mess." Now I watch body language, facial expression and behavior and I read my dog in the moment. I'm not looking to a story to explain behavior. I'm looking at what's happening NOW to dictate how I respond. That's it.

My chihuahua is scared of all water. He will run through a shallow river on a hot day but I want to use my big bathtub as a way for him to excersis by swimming in the winter. How do I do this with the bathtub. Do I have to be in it also

Blue Heelers get distressed by too much going on..need to be on a farm. 🦘

Not even one minute in i see its not the dog its the handler

I like how you had to explain that you weren't hurting her (around 8:40). Heelers are such vocal drama queens even when you don't touch them!!

Still re watch this with my clients .. love it Blake!

Had and raised Blue Heelers for some years. Also had GSDs and Belgian Malinois. All great dogs, very intelligent. All three breeds need mental and physical stimulation, a job to do basically. They thrive on the work so to speak. They are not for lazy or neglectful owners! Recently adopted a female GSD who has never been socialized to people or other dogs. Its a project of love, attention, patience, and time. Shes made great strides in just 6 weeks but will take many more months of daily work. I am training her with all German commands as did my father with all our GSDs. It works very well for directives, guidance, commands, and praise as well.

How do we stop the nipping? Is it easy or takes time? Wondering if this would be the right fit for our family with two little kids.

Toward the end of the video I spied a electronic training collar and a remote in the owner's hand. Please explain!

Why are you rewarding the dog ans petting him for his bad behavior.

“Eat all the Oreos, bro. Yikes!” You got some great commentary😁

Love the work you do.

I’m sorry, it’s great that people love the breed, however, there a working dog! They need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. Lots, not what a normal dog needs. Woods, country, streams, oceans, pasture, mountains, desert. Free! Free, off leash.

Loved the music.

Careful! Heelers are notorious for killing other pets and wildlife! If you have one, be a responsible pet owner and citizen, socialize and train them to be respectful of other animals, kids and other people.

Great video, awesome work. Do you think the intelligence of the breed helped in this case?

Hermosa rasa de estos pequeños nanchosos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have one of them…Best dog ever.

My ACD goes everywhere with me ; the cafe, shops, doctors, barbers,masseurs. She loves it .

people dont understand that dogs were bred for a REASON! and whatever reason it was it was to help humans in their work… make that dog work.

So true!

You should not force an interaction with a dog by being overly forward, don't rush a dog and get in their face, don't scare a dog and make them feel crowded or cornered. That's a recipe for making the dog act defensively. Give a dog a chance to warm up to you and invite an interaction, especially a scared or nervous dog. If the dog bites you or someone else you've not given them the choice of interacting or invited interaction in a calm welcoming way, you will create the scenario you don't want, aggressive or fearful reactions. It's totally unfair to the dog.

What would you recommend as a solution?

Thanks for sharing this important info. ❤

Had a female red in dallas for 13 years, she went to work with me and was a dream. The dog doesn’t see her as the decision maker protector. See this a lot with women and men, they are not the right type of personality where the dog respects them and doesn’t react unless they do.

My blue heeler Mila is similar to your dog.

👍

Try doing your videos with the windows to the cameras back. Excellent info otherwise

Blue dogs learn so quickly it's crazy

I agree with @KKrohn about the use of compressed air. I would go further and say that DCTK9 evoked a trama/fear reaction in Foxtrot. In the video this trainer starts off right, but the second part of the video skipped the boarding part. The reaction of Foxtrot to him at the end was clearly one of fear. Although the trainer said "I'm not doing anything", clearly he had been doing something during the week (using compressed air) that elicited that extreme response. The owner herself seemed to have dreams about the dog that do not fit the breed. Hopefully everything all worked out well in the end.

Her tail wagging at the end walking with the other dog 😭😭 she’s so happy and so much more comfortable

All of which was (could be) accomplished without the e-collar so why use it when its unnecessary?

Wonderful work!! She looks much happier too!

The way he walked that dog by those people, mine would’ve ate their legs off.

Mine will bite anyone except my ex and myself. She got my neighbor but luckily she got his pants leg and not skin. There has been so many close calls. I walk her with a muzzle but damn it’s still a scary feeling

Great techniques!

Amazing 😊👍👍

Job well done! Respect!

The concepts presented are thoroughly explained, no uhs or ums or a lot of jargon and paired with clean training examples. Thank you.

She’s such a good girl! Just a bit of correction and she got it! She wasn’t hurt she was startled by being corrected! She isn’t afraid to correct her owner when the owner tries to stop her from going crazy on other dogs so why can’t the owner do the same to her when the benefit is so extreme?

This was wonderful but I feel her pain. She is not a city dog. Her job is to herd cattle and run for hours a day and they are very protective of family. but they are so smart they will succumb to different environments. And she did. She is a beautiful girl. Not an apartment dog. She did real good.

This is one of the most informative, and clearly demonstrative video on this topic, well done

I have a 3/4 blue heeler and 1/4 Australian Shepherd mix. She’s my first dog. I love her so much. When I would walk her if another dog barked, growled and lunged she would too. So I taught her “leave it” I would have her sit and give her treats for calm behavior. After two walks she got it. She will be two in a couple of months so she’s still learning. I have her in dog agility classes which are amazing for her. She loves it. The class works her mind and her body.

I like the bit with the dogs

problem with your dog is you. you never raised your dog properly from a pup.

These are puppies from Hell for the first 2 years. After that they are your best Friends.

glad to see you guys still going

@10:46 what is she holding?
