We're both stubborn! Arguing with a Sheltie

She wanted me to throw & fetch her toy, but that's not how it works so we spent the whole time arguing about it instead of playing lol

Marvelous! I am grieving for my Sheltie who crossed the bridge and just stumbled on this site. He would do the same thing and argue about it!! Loved him to pieces! Shelties are special, no other breed like them!

Sorry for your loss. I’ve lost two Shelties and one Pomeranian, I believe they are up on Rainbow 🌈 Ridge playing together. My Sheltie Charlie is good even obedient when he wants to be. They are special and I adored them!

[@diortemx]

My sheltie used to do this too. If I threw a toy, she'd go after it but she wouldn't pick it up. She'd intentionally wait for me to go pick it up so she could grab it first and run off with it. It was her way of getting me to chase after her.

[@dogonadventures]

Love it! They're very good at keeping us active.

when i ask my dog to sit, if she isnt hungry and she doesnt see a good point in having to sit (next to a stopsign for example) she just will stand there looking at me lol

I have the exact same arguments with mine. He will drop a toy out of reach and try to make me get it for him. I will tell him to bring it closer and he will pick it up, drop it a little closer, look at me again, rinse wash repeat until it is finally within reach. Yours seems a good deal more stubborn than mine. The point of you going and getting it is you are obeying him and that will make him very happy 😀

That is too funny. Yeah, she is by far the most stubborn dog I've ever had. Haha yes, this is true .I think she likes to see what she can make her human do lol.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Shelties never account for humans being more stubborn than they are lmao. I wish I could show this to my boy Cannon because he is 100% the same in every way, down the pawing.

[@charlayned]

That reminds me of our beloved bi-black Sullivan (Sully). He has a big pink rabbit that we got for him when we picked him up 3 years ago. They only had pink so that's what he got. He's slept with it, pulled off both ears and the tail. He will go into his crate, pick it up, and walk through the house and out the dog door. Then he comes in and demands dad go out with him to play fetch. But he think's fetch is "dad throws it, I run and pick it up, then we play keep away until dad gets tired."

[@dogonadventures]

Aww, I love it. Sounds like you have a pretty awesome dog!

[@lindahughes5781]

My sheltie is 9 months old and he is good and will listen to me. Then he will bark and bark at me. Like a temper tantrum. Finally taking him to obedience school. I hope he doesn't flunk out. He's so sweet, but has soooo much energy!!!

[@dogonadventures]

That is such a cute/fun age. When I tell mine to stop barking sometimes she'll duck her head give me a sheepish look out of the corner of her eye & continue barking. Like I'm sorry Mom but I can't stop, I have to sing the song of my people. Best of luck at obedience school. They're smart, fast learners but also very stubborn as I'm sure you're well aware.

[@CriaAndKiddFW]

Some call it herding, others demand barking, I say it's just a bossy sheltie! Mine does too, lol she just passed her Cainine Good Citizen test, the group thinks she's so sweet and well behaved, lol 😂😂😂

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

I have a 12 year old sheltie and a 4 year old sheltie. They do not play with toys at all but will play tug of war with their favourite blanket for hours. Like your sheltie they just do not process the fetch and retrieve concept. So funny. I am suppose to throw it and retrieve it. They just chase and show me where it is. Crazy pups but wonderful dogs. ❤️💕

[@dogonadventures]

Oh my gosh that's hilarious! It's nice to know my sheltie isn't the only one with these funny quirks.

[@earnesta.brooks7123]

​:: that's not quirks, it is stubborn. I had a siberian husky. Never figured out the art of the "fetch" command, ( or any other either!). Not one to be bossed around. Wouldn't hurt anyone, except in self defense or in my defense, so I had to be careful with him.

[@smokeynedith3555]

"Look, I can be just as stubborn as you, if not more." You can try, but you DO know you won't win. Right?

So true! 🤣

[@Murphis55]

That was almost like I have to pee pant. Let me out.

[@waldemarkissel2563]

Rule #1: Shelties will not play fetch. If you throw a ball and If (a big if) the sheltie runs after it and picks it up the sheltie will drop the ball after bringing it back close enough in its own opinion.

[@FemkevanDrooge]

I feel like my Sheltie thinks it's her job to make sure the ball doesn't run away 😂 Runs after it, then once it's lying still she guards it for me

[@jackiewarner5896]

Some puppy needs a little praise when they do something close to what you wanted them to do. They bring it part way to you, give them praise. Then they'll want to bring it closer to get more praise.

Oh my gosh, I am cracking up! My girl also talks back to me, the utter disrespect. They are the masters of side-eye. I really feel like your girl thinks that the game should be: you throw, she runs and checks it, and then herds you over to collect & return it, repeat 500 times.

[@maggiemorris6666]

your boy just needs you to give him some energy-then he'll go nuts loving any game with you. He just looks bored. I've had 3 shelties and we all have so much fun playing any game together. They learned to take turns playing catch or search games. Good luck

[@dogonadventures]

Good advice. Thanks 😀

[@dawnfoster2873]

My Shelties does the exact same! Only he really gets upset and barks if he doesn’t get his way. Oh well, we love him anyway. ❤🐶

[@flipnshifty]

I really need to make it stop barking when seeing anyone. If im home alone iwth her its fine tho.

[@hibiscusfreak]

She wants you to go with her to get it. Mine was the same way. He'd fetch the ball 5-6 times and then suddenly stop and do this. And he sounded exactly like your sheltie. The snorts, moans and grunts.

[@dogonadventures]

Must be a sheltie thing. Mine generally wants me to go fetch the item though, while she stands there & watches me which kinda defeats the purpose of playing fetch lol.

I read my shelties mind i know what wants these dogs do not care about toys they get bored easily and want to go chase and bark zt everything that moves they are natural born sheep herders and if they do not get exactly what they want they bark and bark and walk to the nearest exit even after many miles of wLking on a dYly basis this process continues there is no escape but still i understznd dogs well and i love them all shelties are not a danger to animals or humans they are rough but kind and caring and loving so too are all animals that are loved respect is so wonderful between both humans and animals

[@Kristin2885]

This reminds me so much of our sheltie that we lost last year to Gallbladder Mucocele just before his 11th birthday. He had the same 'conversational' little whines and pouts - identical mannerisms and attention getting tricks. We miss him so much, so seeing your little girl doing this was such a treat. ps. watch the gallbladder with shelties. We didn't realize it's so common in the breed. I've since talked to sheltie enthusiasts now recommending proactive yearly ultrasounds as they get older. Wish we'd known before. Wishing you and your beautiful dog much joy and good health! ❤

[@dogonadventures]

I'm so sorry you lost your dog, that is such a painful thing to go through. Thank you for the kind comments & bringing awareness to them having gallbladder issues. I had no idea that was a thing.

[@Kristin2885]

@@dogonadventures Neither did I before it happened. Found a woman on one of the sheltie forums with 6 shelties. She does proactive ultrasounds when they become middle-aged and 4 of her 6 shelties have gallbladder sludge. It's shocking. If you catch it early enough, they can remove the gallbladder before the dog shows symptoms. If we get another sheltie, we will do the same. I don't know if you watch 'The Cricket Chronicles' on KZbin, but their older sheltie Cricket had hers removed last summer. They're now actively researching why it's happening so often with this breed. I always mention it when I see someone with a sheltie because maybe it will help raise awareness as something to keep an eye on. Best wishes!

[@dogonadventures]

Wow! Thank you, so much for the information! I will definitely start keeping a closer eye on my sheltie. Best wishes to you as well!

Our sheltie would never fetch. As smart and playful as he was, he just didn't want to do it. He might go and pick up the thrown ball or toy and bring it half way - at most. And then drop it and want us to pick it up. He communicated "I'm not a retriever".

[@dogonadventures]

Haha yep. We actually had a golden retriever and a sheltie when I was a kid, he loved to play fetch & she loved to herd him while he did.

[@Flyfish325]

Shelties are gifts from heaven and so special. I lost my best friend Cooper a Sheltie five weeks ago. My world feels empty without him.

[@dogonadventures]

I couldn't agree more. I am so sorry for your loss.

[@you6382tube]

Our sheltie loved an obstacle course in the back yard. It was fun. Just used random objects set up in a "course" to jump over and run around and between. The thing is -- we needed to do the running and have him follow a few times first. He learned fast. Then we could get him to do the obstacle course by kind of walking and pointing and cheering him on enthusiastically. Now they sell backyard obstacle course setups for dogs.

[@dogonadventures]

Sounds like a lot of fun! I've been thinking about doing one for mine as well. I used to set up obstacle courses inside and she loved it. I think I've finally got all the equipment to build one for outside.

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

That's not Lassie. That's Sassie.

[@you6382tube]

We read that this is common in shelties, no interest in fetch. But our sheltie loved tug of war. And loved hide (me) and seek (sheltie). Or Hide the Treat > Show a treat / toy in my hand. Then tell sheltie "stay here, repeat". Then go hide the treat in another room. Wait a minute or so.... then say "Okay - go find it!" Loved that game.

[@dogonadventures]

She loves those games too. She likes to play fetch when she instigates it & usually it begins with a game of keep away then she'll finally drop the ball and want me to throw it & usually after a couple minutes she's done playing fetch & wants to move onto the next game.

[@SuperKathy54]

She is so funny, 😅

[@sbyerley]

This sheltie so reminds me of my Rory (who has passed). Even the way she walks, or turns half of her lip under. Her increasingly rapid breathing, just every gesture & sound. Of course, they are so similar in features if their bodies, but much, much more. Thank you for posting this video on KZbin, I’m so happy to see it. BTW, Rory never liked to play catch or retrieve, but loved to get me on my feet so we could “play” together. Yes, obedience, rally, & even agility. Try rally, you’ll like it.

[@dogonadventures]

Thank you so much! Aww it sounds like you had a great dog. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I never realized that other sheltie owners had the same conversation with their shelties. Kai and I used to have the same conversation when we'd play.

Too funny.
