Training Tips for Your Blue Heeler
Starting the training of your blue heeler as soon as possible is some of the best advice anybody can give you (this goes for any breed of dog). Take some time to brush up on some methods for how to train your dog and then begin.
In teaching your heeler how to sit, come and do more tricks, owners can make use of simple tactics or verbal cues and a lot of repeating. Repetition is so very important because it will allow your dog to pick things up at a much faster pace. Patience and determination will help in accomplishing this.
Doing some training several times throughout the day is a good way to teach your heeler, but it is also important to consider a little bit of down time. One other thing is to begin the use of hand signals along with the commands. This will come in handy down the road.
Once the dog is already familiar with the gestures, the owner can now use verbal commands or hand signals to get your blue heeler do what it is asked of him.
Above all, consistency needs to be part of training a blue heeler. It is a must to use the same commands and the same hand signals (or gestures) always. Verbal cues implying two different commands should not be used in order to avoid confusion for your australian cattle dog.
There are also a couple of other important tips that could help owners in teaching their blue heelers. Give rewards when your heeler accomplishes what you ask of him. This is helpful during the process of training for the reason that this makes the dog remember the things it must do to get a prize. Mistakes will be made, and when they are, don't scream at or hurt your blue heeler. Dogs may not be able to understand the real reason behind your anger. This isn't the right thing to do, it just won't help.
Obedience training needs to be fun and enjoyable for everybody involved. Training should not be made complicated or tough to do, especifically if your blue heeler has just started the training. Training should also not be done for extended periods of time throughout the day as this might bore or exhaust your heeler. Nevertheless, owners and trainers like you should learn all they can about dog training and begin as soon as possible. It really does make for a more enjoyable life for everybody involved.

Are there any Cattle Dog training facilities in Indianapolis, IN?
I have an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler and I really need to take her to training. I was wondering if there were any training facilities just for training cattle dogs in or around Indianapolis. I would like to train her to do obedience and hopefully agility, if that helps.
If you're calling it "blue heeler"...STOP IT!
& stop imagining breed makes any difference.
You sound like a dopey kid.
Contact the local/county kennel club.YES,there's a BIG one. They'll point you REAL classes,run by REAL dog-people.
