Boss, my red Blue Heeler cow dog

"Boss, get the gate!" At an early age boss learned to shut the gate to my feedlot. He saved me from getting out of my tractor then wading through the ankle deep wintertime mud to shut the gate after feeding the cattle.

Excellent trick! I need to teach that to me heeler now! But, with respect, there's not such thing as a red blue heeler... There's a red heeler, and a blue heeler, both of which are Australian Cattledogs...

Gee! Actually, he is a brownish red and a little black, and a few white specks Blue Heeler.

Can u tell me how u tought him to do that cus i have a blue heeler puppy that is 8-9 mounths old does that mean its to late to train him ? Cus he wont come when i call him that well and it takes me a full 10-20 minits to put his harness on so can u please help me cus this is the first blue heeler ive ever had

[tbugger]

Are you trying to start a real fuss? Heeler folks will fuss about what you call the breed and/or color. Man, for sure they won't like my training methods! With dog on a leash stand dog against open gate. 1 wrap of leash around gate. Get on other side - say "here" -pull lightly- make dog walk towards you. Your dog will come around. MAKE him mind, Be firm, but don't be mean! At 1 yr old or so the dog will change mentally , At that age, if made to mind- he will not defy you! But, if he wins-oooooh!

Red heeler or blue heeler. Pretty simple.

A red blue heeler is just plain stupid. lol

[tbugger]

Glad you liked it, oruacat2, and I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

My Cattle Dog would have locked the gate as well....

[calfropingfordman]

[kdavid911]

that dog is awesome

[richiefrickenrich]

@bookguitarguy could you possibly tell

me some tricks about heeleers I've had my two for two years they are brother and sister named Zeus and Allie and they are the best damn dogs ever but I need some training advice. I would live it if I didn't need to have them on leashes downtown and things like that. Like not chasing bicyclists right as soon as I let them out the front door

[sweetlikeADAM]

@ihaveairlockers It locks on its own...

[sweetlikeADAM]

What a smart pooch.

[briezielittle]

you sound a lot like the guy that owns skid boot haha

[DearFynn]

I actually had a heeler that was red AND blue. :l

What else would you call it? A purple heeler? Come on people.

[1moonbuggy]

My 2+ cents... Ya done good, these guys need a purpose and will reward with willingness to learn and please. They also have a strong desire to be an integral part of the pack. Ours go with us everywhere and won't leave the truck until asked. They also know left from right. As for color... around here: Red or red/white is Red Heeler, Blue or blue/white is Blue Heeler and Red/white/blue is a Tri-color Heeler(Star Spangled).

You're his human, call him what will. Real Good Stuff.

[bookguitarguy]

I think he looks like a Purple Palmer, myself... Would you mind if I called him that?? :O)) Nice trick! I had a Blue Heeler-Akita mix for 14-1/2 years, knew about 25 commands, could climb a ladder, hand signals from 200 feet away, didn't need a leash downtown, etc. What they learn is mainly limited by their trainers.
