The Surprising Fix For an aggressive Blue Heeler

Cesar Millan

113,270 views

Vada is a Blue Heeler with powerful instincts, but she’s turned her energy into aggression toward other dogs.
To test her instincts and give her purpose, I put Vada in front of cattle.
The question is: will she attack and bite, or will she find her balance and tap into the herding instincts she was born with?
Aggression is often misdirected energy. When a dog has no job, outlet, or leadership, instincts can turn destructive. But with the right guidance, those same instincts can create peace, focus, and balance.
🐶 In this episode, you’ll learn:
🐾 How to stop aggression in Blue Heelers and other herding breeds
🐄 How herding can be used to calm aggression
🚫 Why pent-up energy leads to fights and chaos
🧘 How to give working dogs the purpose they need
💡 How agility training can be used to get rid of pent-up energy
Sometimes the choice is simple: balance. 🐾❤️

Vada es una Blue Heeler con instintos poderosos, pero ha convertido su energía en agresión hacia otros perros.
Para poner a prueba sus instintos y darle un propósito, la llevé frente al ganado.
La pregunta es: ¿Atacará y morderá, o encontrará su balance y conectará con los instintos de pastoreo con los que nació?

La agresión suele ser energía mal dirigida. Cuando un perro no tiene trabajo, salida o liderazgo, sus instintos pueden volverse destructivos. Pero con la guía correcta, esos mismos instintos pueden crear paz, enfoque y equilibrio.

🐶 En este episodio aprenderás:
🐾 Cómo detener la agresión en Blue Heelers y otras razas de pastoreo
🐄 Cómo el pastoreo puede usarse para calmar la agresión
🚫 Por qué la energía acumulada provoca peleas y caos
🧘 Cómo darle propósito a un perro de trabajo el propósito que necesita
💡 Cómo el entrenamiento de agilidad puede ayudar a liberar energía acumulada

A veces, la elección es simple: Equilibrio. 🐾❤️

"I wanted a really calm dog so I picked a blue heeler." Maybe the first time I've ever heard that spoken out loud in a serious way.

Hilarious how the producers make the owners pretend that they weren't expecting Ceasar to show up! 😂😂😂 So 1990's T.V. 🤦🏽‍♂️

It actually gave me goosebumps (the good kind) to see her herding the cattle. And I noticed how she looked at Cesar with her full attention when the herding was done as if to say, "Ok, Boss, what next?" I LOVE it! I wish that people would research the breed of dog they want before getting one. It could help head off so many issues for the humans and most importantly for the dog. (wish I could give this one a gillion thumbs up)

If you think you want a heeler, research the breed, and make sure you are a confident leader and are active. Missing one of those qualities move on from the breed. Do yourself and the breed the favor with that rule

Blue heelers are a working dog: they can run all day, and they are bossy to move cattle. If they don't have a job or an outlet for this then they will develop the destructive and aggressive behaviours. If an active life isnt possible for them don't get a heeler.

Blue Heelers are absolute nutcases. Mine once herded up a group of kindergarden kids walking down the sidewalk. He assumed they were in danger from passing traffic and jumped the fence and proceeded to corral all the kids against a wall. Nobody hurt but maybe a few freaked out kids and teachers.

This video shows how important it is to know the dog breed you have. Researching what this certain breed needs to be happy, psychologically and physically healthy is the best thing you can do! Also make sure that you can give that certain dog breed what it needs.

A tired dog is a calm dog. 👍

My heelers need a couple miles a day on the farm just to keep them sane. It's a joy to watch them work, but they come with a lot more overhead than our bassett hound...

So many people choose the wrong pup. I did once and regretted it. I chose a border collie and didn't realise how active she was. Research the temperament and activities they were bread for.

Dogs need leadership

Calling a dog of psyco is very funny. I have a blue heeler too, I think he is very normal. Just has a lot of energy, I have to do exercises with him, everyday. Heelers are very loyal too. They are amazing.

First day on the agility course and that dog is already doing tunnels and teeters?! That is one confident, driven dog! My dog's been practicing all summer and she's still scared of getting off the ground.

Thats a blue heeler mix....I have a pure bred blue heeler who from 3 months to 1 and a half yrs was absolutely ludicrous....After doggy school and training and longggggg walksssssss she's an absolute blessing...

Don't the shelter, educate these people about the breed? Education is key.

El reto de entenderlos para darles lo que necesitan.

@UnendlichFrieda 10 months ago

Our red heeler needed a lot of strict guidance until he was about 2 years old and now at almost four hes a true partner. But maaaaan you have to meet their needs or they do the dumbest stuff 😅

@lifewithbrendan6766 10 months ago

Even as a dog trainer I’m always amazed by dogs instinctual abilities

@SandraKlotzer 10 months ago

She looks like she has pitbull in her too. A mix of 2 high energy breeds!

I have a 5 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback male. He is as mellow as you can get. He behaves, but doesn’t obey. Not that he doesn’t understand the commands, but being a ridgeback they were breed to be independent. Since I brought him home he was socialized with people and other dogs so he has only shown aggression once. We also have a lot of wildlife deers, rabbits and other animals and when he was younger he always wanted to go after them. Five years of walking on a leash he seldom now tries to go after them. The one thing I have learned is he is the alpha everywhere he goes and all other dogs give him the respect because of that. They all come to him and he is gentle with all dogs even the very small ones that are yapping at him. Like this dog in herding the cattle the alpha and the respect comes naturally not anything that can be taught. He’s a 20% larger than the average male ridgeback at 106 pounds of pure muscle and he is not fixed. He doesn’t eat commercial dog food I fix his high protein food. I have watched hundreds of Cesar’s videos and have used his techniques in training Bruno and I believe this why he such a good dog. While you can use Cesar’s techniques and they work well there is only one Dog Whisperer.. Thanks Cesar for all your help.
