All About Training Australian Cattle Dog Dogs and Puppies

The Australian Cattle Dog is a highly intelligent dog, but can also be a very stubborn individual. Training these dogs can either be very easy or a definite difficulty, depending on your individual canine companion and your personal training methods. Persistence and patience are two words to keep in mind, when training a Queensland Blue Heeler.
Obedience courses work very well with these dogs and individuals who do not have the opportunity to live in a 'working' environment, like they were bred for, usually benefit from classes that will challenge them. When dealing with an Australian Cattle Dog, bear in mind that they can be somewhat timid and care should be taken never to strike or yell at your dog - doing so will only make him more uncooperative. Routine and positive reinforcement will work best when training these unique dogs.
