Training Cattle Dogs

Oklahoma cattleman Roy Cox explains his method for training cattle dogs during a University of Missouri field day at Linneus, Mo.

[@tonto2455]

Good interview with a hands on guy who clearly understands dogs and cattle.

[@laurelobrien6313]

He was born in 1961 in Wallsend, N.S.W. Australia, in the Newcastle area. I don't know when he moved to the U.S.A.

[@jimh4167]

My kelpie was the best dog I've had... Was like an outstanding person in a dog body

[@35rowen]

Thanks - I've now working with my 5th Queensland Blue Heeler - can use all the help I can get but they're a real treat to work.

[@Saouskie]

Do you have any tips im trying to train mine

[@theonlinedogtrainerreview5747]

I needed this video, thanks! I was setting my expectations WAY too high!

[@axiom.ai.obviousbattletank7139]

Herding dogs are the best dogs. If you have time with them. Smart. They recognize tension and act (if trained) exactly as trained. They're loyal to the pack and will submit almost instantly (if trained). Loving, yes absolutely.

[@steakslapn9724]

I got a border collie blue healer cross and he's like 3 months and I have started working on calves with him. I just wanna learn more about training him cuz he is already awesome and smart just on his now.

[@bleumotel]

this was very helpful, encouraging, informative

[@koa2341]

McNab dogs are great too- A longer legged, shorter haired version of a border collies

[@robertmcnabb3132]

i wish I was out west to get one, but, blue heelers have been what I go to .

[@jasper777777]

I've got a cattle dog border collie and he's the best pet dog i ever had....

[@COMB0RICO]

That dude is straight-up. I like that. May Jesus Christ bless him for it.

[@killerontheroad280]

COMB0RICO Jesus never existed

[@COMB0RICO]

Come on, dude.

[@COMB0RICO]

Yeah, I don't care which ethnicity.

[@shrunkenpresence1367]

I’ve got 4 hanging tree pups and plenty of cattle to train with they are very wary of the cattle outside of the fence

[@mistadroucicini1182]

weird accent. sounds aussie but also from south of u.s.? born is oz, moved to states?

[@surfsup8027]

What Australian accent have you heard

[@LetTheWritersWrite]

I heard it too

[@ruthannek1855]

I'm Australian and I heard that in some of his pronunciation on a few words.

[@danielleekennedy3747]

Nah he sounds Welsh American mixed with Texan

[@scottmarr9283]

Definitely some Aussie accent in there

[@manofthesword7170]

Ok I needed another dog for my pit bull because she was Lonely and I got a pit bull mix . Well as it got older I noticed it had the markings of a cattle dog . Half pit half cattle dog . When i would run he’d always nip at my ankles . Well I got two donkeys last year , I’m learning a lot about them but one thing I noticed is my dog wants to herd them . Like it’s in his DNA. The pit bull could care less but he’s always trying to move them . It’s really neat but annoying cause most of the time he’s just bothering them . But recently they keep trying to get out my front gate when I come in or leave . I’m running late trying to move them out the way and this morning im thinking hey this is what he’s breed for , I called him over and told him to move them , he looked at me like, are you serious? I said cowboy move them and he ran after them . He got them all the way across my yard then came back to me . It Still fascinated me . Now I’m looking for ways to train him to do it on command .

[@kristaljane25]

Kelpies are interesting dogs. I'd love to have one.

[@Madi-io2qb]

My baby is a Australian kelpie, mini Aussie, and hanging tree and he loves to try to herd me around I would love to train him to handle the cattle I just don’t want him to get kicked

[@thejackyjooj3861]

what type of kelpi is that not to mention as well those collies are crosses

[@eddieandrews3854]

I am very interested in acquiring and training a dog to herd my cattle. What is your recommendation on how to start?

[@henryrights8428]

kelpie and collie =] great choice! thanks for tips Roy =]

[@wassup287]

What kind of accent does this guy have? Its like a cross between Oklahoma and Australia.

[@timothyboyd5548]

Good information

[@debistuart598]

I have pembroke welsh corgis and my husband raises cattle. They want to herd the cattle; how can I teach them to herd the way my husband wants them to be herded?

[@hollandjames3543]

Does this guy still train, and does he sell?

[@Peter-rg4ng]

Awesome video!

[@peterolsen269]

He looks like a McNabb... maybe? Heavy for a Border. I have a McNabb and he is 50 Lbs.

[@arthurhatch9843]

I'm getting a blue heeler soon.. what are the basic commands?

[@mikerowe1496]

We o

[@centraltexasduckrescue5102]

I have trained my blue healer to herd ducks her commands are ''ok'' thats when you want her to go and herd and you point to the duck or animal for her to herd then she has '' gentle'' when she slows down. And ''bring them to me'' were she herds them to me.

[@PlainsPup]

4:04 - He mentions all four breeds, but I wonder why he's using collies and kelpies here, and not Aussies or cattle dogs?

[@JuJuBea161]

+PlainsPup That's probably just the stock he had at the time. "Cattle dogs" are picked by their working traits and not so much the pedigree.

[@brandoe77]

Lots of people including myself use border collies for cattle

[@ferlykth]

he probably uses border collies with strong cattle working BCs in the pedigree. collies were originally developed for sheep but can work just about any type of stock, depends on what the dog works best on. australian shepherds were bred for mostly cattle but can also work any kind of stock. they can be very pushy on stock though, up and personal which makes them not so great on duck and chicken but again, depends on the dog. it’s just a matter of preference.

[@feelnrite]

I would say they are breeds that he connects with. I have heelers and don't know if I could work a border collie. I understand heelers and they understand me.

[@ShortArmStrongArm]

That Oklahoman cattleman is 30 seconds from telling about the dingos.

[@justinkuruvillachemmachel2838]

Thank you for your help. I need the help. I have a Rottweiler (working dog) and want to get into the business.

[@erikdale9145]

Justin Kuruvilla Chemmachel what business?

[@justinkuruvillachemmachel2838]

Texas Cattleman.

[@donkeyballs5950]

Hahaha hell no. You ain't no cowboy nigggga

[@rosaleegulley5314]

Does anyone know some good trainers because I have never owned a farm before and when I do have my own I would like to have a cattle dog but I do not trust myself to train my dogs.

[@drawinglover4693]

If you're not confident in training to this extent, maybe think about getting some horse riding lessosns? I know it may be a more manual way of doing things, but there are some horses and people that really do great as a team on the ranch! I believe it's alled Cattle penning(?) as for building confidence with your dog. get a young pup, not a year old or older all trained dog... (You could of course that would be your choice) but the dog may not bond with you the way it did it's trainer/owner before. and you may have a bit of trouble/unnecisarry work on your hands. Any way, just start with basic training, and perfect it first! You will need a solid foundation before you decide to move on to herding, or guarding or what ever you wish with your animal! Also German shepherds may also be a dog to research. they where first intended to be a herding dog, that's why "shepherd" is in the name, but are so intellagent and willing to work with you that you could train the dog to be virtually anything you want!! Just be sure to do your research on the dogs out there to see which is the best fit for you. Same with horses too. For horses though, I highley reccomend getting some riding experiance under your belt before you go on to riding a cattle/roping horse. I hope this is helpful?

[@erikdale9145]

Rosalee Gulley you can train your dog just fine dear. it's time hard work and patience. the dog already knows what to do, trust me...it's your naming of the actions and consistent reinforcement on schedule and CONSISTENCY

[@joelsherrer8784]

Rosalee Gulley just remember the heeler is a nipper!

[@jaycustard4711]

Yeshe needs to get introduced to a Mcnab

[@kadiea9646]

do you know who sells Australian cattle dog I live in Southern California

[@danarochat9100]

www.Just4Mav.webs.com

[@eithinoha2911]

Kelpie? No. Maybe a mix with kelpie in it, sure, even if it dosent look like it.

[@maddy9756]

Thanks

[@devonwitzel2716]

I got a cattle farm and I use pitbulls and I think they are a stronger breed and I don’t have to worry about getting in a mess with cattle when feeding or loading

[@ASLFrugalMom]

Devon Witzel lmao. Wut?

[@alanmcewen508]

That's not a kelpie, if it is the 2 other dogs are daschounds.

[@ElessarEstel]

Yeah I have a gsd/kelpie mix and the kelpie parent looks nothing like that.

[@KA-om9oz]

Shut the fuck up....corky

[@lorip6846]

You folks don't know kelpies

[@johnbrown-rm8kc]

the only place in the world to see the REAL Action is in Australia ..

[@ferrarichickendab4678]

Welch morgues are good

[@raym5284]

Why not just use Australian cattle dogs for his cattle?

[@jamesleahy7914]

Never seen a white kelpie before

[@stephanielittlewolf9189]

not a typical Kelpie at all - white or no

[@123animalcrazy]

Definitely cross breds

[@alexdias5708]

I'll be nice to have Mr. Roy phone number

[@gandhinho5466]

K E L P I E ??? No way!!! Never! There is NO yellow Kelpie with Labrador face.

[@alexturkogfb0641]

A shepherd dog has to be strong,brave,fast and also smart,I do not think them dogs will be effective against to wild predators.

[@johnpowell9993]

0

[@shanemiller5044]

They aren’t trained to protect. They are trained to put cows where you want them

[@adelinawarriner6259]

These are herding dogs NOT guarding dogs. .

[@joebourdeau3188]

sorry roy

[@marcusesq5031]

That is not a Kelpie.

[@vivaelespanolylahispanidad4072]

that ain't no kelpie, that is a lab lol, or one like it. Good stuff.

[@booradly100]

That's a lab hybrid

[@PlainsPup]

Kelpies can look very Labrador mix-like, but are not very closely related to them, as dogs go.

[@JuJuBea161]

+caveman Versace like the cattle dog, they are a mix of many different breeds so they vary. it could also be a "mutt" kelpie. Dogs trained for working have no priority put on their pedigree, its the working traits that are important.

[@erikdale9145]

JuJuBea161 my brown Auz kelpie has cropped ears and she gets away working people by thinking she's a chocolate lab puppy, but trust me..she'll bang out 20hr days like we do and run more jobs than anything I've ever seen.

[@erikdale9145]

Should mention ears are not cut cropped. .they're not fully erect. ..they are floppy Lil lab type ears, referred to as crop as in the sense of the word not the cutting aspect

[@erikdale9145]

&yes they're amazing dogs

[@mattfraser3688]

Acd and your done. No need to make it complicated.

[@ferrarichickendab4678]

I mean korgies

[@michaelunthank]

Not a kelpie, not even close.

[@booradly100]

That's not a kelpie haha

[@PlainsPup]

Kelpies come in many colors, including white.

[@joebourdeau3188]

to bad john cant wear his hat correctly...

[@lornamurdocheaton624]

This is a hat-wearing video? I came here to hear about cattle dogs.

[@oliviamorris6360]

It's absolutely shameful when your canine keeps jumping on people.

[@oliviamorris6360]

In fact, dogs have their own way to think, if you would like to teach your dog advanced lessons and tricks, you need to realize the secrets behind their behaviour, discover herer: livebetter4.com/fun-dog-training
