Potty-train a 1 year old Red Heeler...?
Here is one thing you can try: After he has finished his meal, take him out and wait for him to go. If he does not produce anything after 10 minutes, bring him back in, and then turn right around and go straight back out again. Repeat this until he has eliminated outside. Then he gets praise, a treat, and his walk, If it takes all day, it takes all day. Break the pattern once and you won't have to again. Look at Victoria Stilwell's site http://positively.com Try to get her book It's Me Or The Dog: How To Have The Perfect Pet Puppies need to be let out a minimum of 8 times a day. Dogs feel most vulnerable when they are going to the bathroom. Her book mentions many things - even house and crate training - and about puppies and older dogs and how to train or re train them to go to the bathroom.
Help with potty training a red heeler!?
The first thing to remember about house training a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. A rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. When your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! Take the pup out. When the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. After exercise (play), take the pup out. When the pup does it's thing outside praise it. A lot. Tell the pup how good, how smart it is. You have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. When you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. If you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. If you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "I should have been paying more attention." Daytime training they get pretty fast. Night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. Also remember the one hour/one month rule. You will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. Good luck
Are blue heelers easy to train??
Heelers are not hard to train, they just have loads of energy that is usually never used to its full potential in today's society. As I said in an answer a couple of weeks back: "You have invested yourself in a working breed." You should've expected an energy supply equivalent to the breed's use--They herd cows long distances, and nip at their heels constantly to keep them going. They are built for strength, stamina, and their "strong eye" for cattle. If you want the dog to be less hyper and more stable as an adult (because usually working dogs have a hard time calming with age), prepare for long trips around the block or dog park, or be prepared to enter her into some kind of sport: agility, flyball, frisbee, herding trials...all of these kinds of things are good options.

7 week old Red Heeler puppy - crate training?
We got our beautiful little girl this Saturday. Today was our first day to leave her in her crate for the day. I went home for lunch to take her out she went a little bit, not like she had done this Saturday and Sunday - I took her inside and she went inside... I immediately picked her up said "NO!" and ran her outside to the grass - she went a little bit in the grass and I praised her and everything... but then we went back inside and she did the same thing??? It's like she's only letting a little out at a time.... Any advice on this??? Also do you think it would be better to leave her in her crate while we are at work (with both of us coming home during lunch) Or Put her crate in the kitchen, close the kitchen off and put some potty pads in there??? Do you think this would make house training process longer?? With her thinking she CAn go inside??
Potty Training? Heeler Puppy?
I got my husband a blue heeler female puppy on the 20th well we have been trying to potty train her and still no matter how long she is outside or how often and even if she goes while out there she will come in and poop and pee in the house. We have tried not yelling or spanking(slight tap on the butt followed by No No!) and we have tried yelling and spanking then putting her out again for about an hour after she does it. Nothing is working and I don't want to hear stupid remarks like "well duh she's a heeler she belongs outside that's why she isn't potty training." I have 2 other heelers that are house trained so I know it's not because her breed is a farm dog. I need opinions on what to do this dog is driving me nuts and I don't want to get rid of her we take her out every 20-30 minutes and she stays out for about 15 minutes or until she goes both poop and pee so opinions please and no stupid or ignorant remarks.
How can I train my Blue Heeler to bark with lower volume?
My 15 month old BH barks very seldomly. She makes up for that in constant playing and playing and insisting on playing. So which would you prefer?Due to the temperament of blue heelers, intense running and emotional stimulation are crucial in making happy dogs. I give my girl a minimum of three hours of high intensity workout per day which includes running, tugging, wrestling, catch, eye-paw coordination etc for 15-minute intervals with water breaks at the end of each.Having a BH is not for the faint of you are to have your \U0001f415 realize its fullest potential. It's constant daily work that brings joy at the end of each day and then it starts all over again the next morning. Smile
How can you train a Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix?
With patience and energy. This is going to be a high-drive dog, and you need to figure out their main drive - are they food motivated? Ball motivated? Toy motivated? Find that out, and then start where you would start with any other dog: short, repeated training sessions.You can Google and YouTube plenty of resources on basic obedience training. For more advanced training, or flyball/agility training (hey, you have a pretty good mix for that!), I’d recommend you join a club or group. However, ensure you have basic obedience before doing that - sit, stay, come, heel.
