How smart is the Australian cattle dog

[@Tacor702]

The baby talk is just cringe.

[@DadsCommentary]

I get it, I hate hearing people chew, best I can recommend is don’t watch cause I ain’t changing

[@avonacolyte]

I don't think "cringe" really applies to baby talk directed at a pet or baby. You get a pass for that.

[@patriciaZMarie2867]

You do know dogs respond better to higher pitched happier tones. It's been proven that many dogs behaved and listen better to women instead of men with the same training and techniques used because the deeper broader made them receptive or less submissive to the commands. If you want a happier and willfully responsive dog baby type talk will work better then the baron male voice will... Besides, If you are this deeply bothered then just keep scrolling, it's simple as that

[@evie597]

It’s not cringe okaY? It’s called being a good dog owner if you didn’t know and another thing people will talk to their dogs a lot and play with them. My point is that ITS NOT CRINGE! 😅

[@CateIsFruity]

This is how my border collie mix is. He has picked up so many words that we can’t even spell walk anymore. Dogs are truly smarter than you’d think.

[@ajbethel6910]

when you have a dog this smart it's absolutely impossible not to talk to them constantly like this no matter what you're doing, heelers are genuinely always listening to what you say and understand language in an amazing way

Had a red heeler and she had her humans well trained. My husband's cousin would come to the house and she would greet him at the door, walk him thru to the back door and go play stick for 20 minutes or so if I was still upstairs. If I was downstairs, she'd ask permission to go play with her Uncle Duane. Fawn also spoke-she could say 'outside' and 'I love you', clearly and distinctly. People didn't believe it until she did it in front of them. Miss that crazy dog! She certainly set the bar high for all the dogs that have followed.

[@mamawolf8484]

My dog grew up on a tractor trailer with me driving long haul. He listened to the GPS actively. Whenever it said "Take the Exit on the Right" he knew he was probably going to be able to get out and go for a run. He also listened for "destination on the (right/left)" any time my dogs hear DESTINATION they know they're gonna get out and they go nuts.

[@DadsCommentary]

That’s great

That reminds me of my parents first heeler cross Desmo. As soon as they would give him medication wrapped in food or on its own, he'd find a way to spit out the meds or pretend to swallow it 😂 he was too clever for his own good.

And can you give me some reasons to convince them.

My heeler looks the same, not in appearance, rather....the intensity and thier communication with pointing and response.

[@johngillespie3409]

My blue heeler could open the patio door by using his nose to move the 1x2 board he saw me using my knee to open. A ride meant McDonald's 2 hamburgers no pickles 🤣

Literally every Australian dog does this. Just say wanna go for a walk and they will be hammering down the door. Ah Americans always last to figure things out 😂

My blue heeler is the EXACT same way! He understands that when I say " we gotta go to the boys to school " we are going out the garage door and into mommy's car! I love this breed. And my blue heeler picks up on so many other words. This is just so cute!

People must have stupid dogs. Every dog I’ve known knows what a car ride is. What’s next? He knows what a treat is? Geez. I knew a dog who ditched its puppy in the woods during a storm because she was jealous of him. When we found the puppy my brother banished her and told her to never come back. She walked slowly down our 500 ft driveway only glancing back once and never returned. Now that’s a smart dog.

[@mogywithahardg]

I had to put a doggy door hidden in the back of the dog house for mine, since he kept leaving the door open. What was he, born in a barn?? Wait, yes he was born in a barn. 😆He also somehow has an internal calendar, as he remembers March first every year, the day I open the doggy door for business in the spring. Better than me!

[@DadsCommentary]

They really like routines even if it’s yearly

[@LilMonty]

One of my ACDs as a puppy kept hearing me say “Google” to look things up or whatever. After some time, the dog trained me that “Google” meant walk. I literally can’t say that word out loud now.

[@jaeljade3609]

No doubt she's smart, I have a blue heeler, too, but all of my dogs knew the go for a ride. My entire pack knew what the jeep meant. I had a white American shepherd, beagle, English setter, Pomeranian/spitz, golden retriever chow mix and a shepherd husky mix. They all piled in my wrangler and took a two hour free run on the trail 3x a week. Those were some of my favorite days of my life. They've all since past away, and now it's just my heeler and two cats. I love my heeler.

[@cepaasch]

It got to the point with my Heeler that I couldn't even SPELL beach, walk, park, ride without her going ballistic!!! I would have to call it "the great sandy place or the great grassy place. Smart cookie.

[@sheenacarroll3337]

Love the video, I noticed at the end of the video when he's opening up the back door to let the dog in that the door knob was all messed up from where you can see the dog probably tried opening it lots of times and messed it up. It wasn't even matched up to hide the hole where the door knob goes. LOL

[@magdalenebecerra8475]

Little spoiled Australian cattle dog,! I have one almost the same, she's just quite a bit older. One feature that I love dearly about these babies is their ears, how they stand up the way they do, and they're so intelligent, My girl still tries to herd me!! They're really great dogs!!🥰💞💖

Disease Australian shepherds have a lot of health issues?

My throwback Pomeranian does that. I have 4 vehicles so I tell him black truck or white truck or jeep and he goes to that one. He likes the black truck best.

[@oldjarhead386]

I have a female heeler that looks very similar. We talk to her as if she is human. But emphasize both force and pitch. It’s also no myth that these dogs learn so fast that you don’t realize you taught them to do something. It took me maybe 15 seconds to teach her to jump hurdles, two throws to catch frisbees. Things like that are a joke to these dogs. By 6 months old she was as smart as my labs at 2 years. But… the two hardest things to teach her was to not mouth when playing. No biting but mouthing. She now knows when it’s cool playing and when it’s not cool. The other was heel nipping. But even then she now knows that I allow it in the mornings when I first go out only. We turned it into a game and I’m the only one she now does it with. Other dogs are obviously intelligent. But heelers are smart with ease. Many of the signs are very subtle as they do intelligent things naturally all day long. I’ve even had her bring me a folded 5 dollar bill out of know here. Walked up and put it into my hand. We must have dropped It somewhere. She was about 4 months old at the time. She is also hyper in-tuned to surroundings, people and especially facial reactions. My wife isn’t allowed to get even a little rowdy with me. She knows good people from bad before you do, and you’ll know it was she’s fearless. To a fault. I’ve had many dogs and lots of various breeds but there’s something about heelers. They are different than most.

[@jonjonsson4270]

Don't just take her for a ride. Give that dog some exercise.

[@mikeschillinger4427]

I have 2 rat terriers. They are very familiar with my VW bus, so much so that occasionally we lose them and they can be found on the back seat of it. If we ask them if they want to go for a ride in the bus we immediately get a barage of barking and wagging butts. (They have no tails). Dogs are awesome people.

[@kylekasper6342]

You didn't demonstrate anything any other dog breed would be able to do. So this isn't so much a feat of intelligence, more of just you attempting to generate content somehow-someway. Anyone could do the same exact thing with any dog breed is what I'm trying to convey here. Like you coulda just gotten some McDonalds or stopped by the gas station for condoms or something. Did you even let the heeler run around and burn some energy?

My blue heeler has figured out when I get a phone call at a certain time of day, it's my neighbor and it's time to go for a walk. Only gets excited when she calls so don't know if he hears her voice or knows time she calls or what but he knows. Also if me and my husband are talking about taking him for a walk or ride even though we specifically use words to not give it away he knows because he starts getting excited before we even have a chance to get our keys or jackets and only does that when we are discussing it. And boy does he get excited.
