Tiring Out Your Heeler (Valjean's Daily Schedule)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2023
- Since Australian Cattle Dogs (or "Heelers") are a very active breed, today we're looking at Valjean's daily schedule and just what it takes to tire him out. The short answer is at least 3 hours of outdoor physical activity a day (more when he was a puppy) + additional indoor activity.

Tired out heeler at my feet is when I get to check out your content. You're right.
Wait... you can tire them out?
Invest in an electric bike...
You have to do it for few days in a row, you can never tire them in just one day
@@Bizzon666 It was sarcasm. I know from experience it can take a while. Glad my girl loves other dogs, dog park helps get the energy out.
You have a very lucky dog!
I love cattle dogs but they are so high maintenance! I know not to get one, everything else in my life would suffer.
Where’s the thumbnail video. Nowhere.
I have 2 ASTCD that are 9 month old siblings. I run them all day on my Texas Ranchito and they are still waking up at wee hours of the morning. Its like they need to do a "animal security check". Not sure how to deal with this.
At 9 months they still have all that puppy energy...I didn't even adopt Valjean until he was 18 months and he was way more energetic back then, though I'm lucky that he has always slept through the night. I did notice a drop in the level of activity it takes to tire him out around 3-31/2 years old.
@@ValjeanTheBlueHeeler I'm 56. Have had several heelers. Lost one old girl and lost a 5 year old suddenly back to back and for the first time since 1988 was without a dog. These little girls are something else. Just wish we could sleep all night.
4:31 what food do u feed your blue heeler ?
He’s actually very picky and weird about eating sometimes, so usually I feed him homemade dog food. Typically I just cook up some chicken and or beef and mix it with rice.
My boy Keegan 2 hours walk 1 morning and 1 hour afternoon 1 hour tug and war toy fetch in the house 1 hour in the back yard running around then he will crash sleeps at the bottom of the bed or couch loyal to me when I go to bed he will
I have been hearing that peanut butter is, not, good for dogs. I haven't researched this, so it is just the "scuttle-butt".
Peanut butter is fine for dogs (in moderation) as long as there's no artificial sweeteners such as Xylitol in it...check the label.
Why do Americans have to crate their pets?
I wasn't aware it was only an American thing. Crate training is the best (and possibly only efficient) way to housebreak. Valjean loves his crate and will go in there of his own accord throughout the day when the door is wide open. The only reason he's crated at night is our bed isn't big enough and he would keep me up when I already don't get enough sleep from walking him late at night and early in the morning.
@@ValjeanTheBlueHeeler That's why he is crated. Because people don't want to be disturbed during the night. I understand you need sleep and that pets bug us during the night. (I have a pet who I trained not to bug me during the night and he is nearly 2 years old now so it's better). However, it's an American thing about crating, and people doing these videos encourage others to follow in other countries. Valjean doesn't know any better because that's what you trained and made him do. Kennels are outside or indoors; some people keep them in the lounge or laundry areas when they are inside. Using a day bed indoors is good instead of a kennel type of sleeping area, which is opened of course. Backyards are the best with kennels or using inside a shed. Outside is better because they can go to the toilet and play etc. without bugging you.
@@ValjeanTheBlueHeeler I decided to look it up: see below the articles I found...
Dog crates are much more commonly used in the United States and Canada than in any other part of the world. Across much of Europe and in Australia, dog crates don't tend to be part of the daily life for dogs, nor is it common or culturally accepted for dogs to be left in crates.
Why do Americans crate-train dogs?
Most veterinarians, trainers, and breeders recommend crate training dogs from a young age. Crate training is an essential part of housebreaking puppies, as dogs don't like to soil their sleeping quarters. They learn to hold their bladders while they're in their crate, so you won't have to clean up messes.
Section 13 of Sweden's regulations on keeping dogs and cats states that “dogs and cats may not be kept in cages” unless they're used for transport, hunting, or a competition or show.
Germany - Keeping a dog in a crate is limited to a maximum of two hours total per day. Dogs must have a minimum amount of floor space available to them based on their size. For any dog up to about 40 pounds, that would mean a minimum of 66 square feet.
Dogs are highly social pack animals who abhor isolation and crave and deserve companionship, praise, and exercise. Forcing dogs to spend extended periods of time confined and isolated simply to accommodate their guardians' schedules is unacceptable. Crate training does not speed up the housebreaking process.
@@ValjeanTheBlueHeeler I am happy that you exercise Valjean and play with him a lot. That's great and an amazing effort you are making for him.
Well my blueheeler sleeps in his crate when doors open and he's tired . That's his security and bed, he's doing nothing wrong. He exercises that dog more tin 1 day, than most people do in 3 days . Not happy about Americans kennalling their dogs then move on to your country's storys
no wonder you wanted the like and subscribe before seeing the video. Seeing the poor animal in the cage and on the leash was repulsive, not to mention tied on a rope which I'm pretty sure is illegal
You don't know much about having dogs, do you?
Crates aren't cruel, are in fact the best way to housebreak, and Valjean is only in his crate overnight...except for when he goes in there of his own volition when the door's wide open, which he does frequently, because he loves his crate.
Leashes are repulsive? Really? I suppose I should just let him run into traffic then?
Tethers are not illegal anywhere as far as I know. Tethering dogs in extreme weather is, but Valjean is never tethered outside without supervision for more that 10-15 minutes max, and is very rarely tethered without supervision at all. You know what is illegal in many places? Walking your dog in public without a leash. And yet according to you leashes are "repulsive." Why do you want me to break the law and put my dog's health and life at risk???
@@ValjeanTheBlueHeeler or could it be that you don't?
@@ValjeanTheBlueHeeler You should be in a cage and on a rope so that you don't go stand in the road If you didn't want a constant companion you shouldn't have gotten a dog and definitely not an ACD
@@edwardcarletoncamp8750 So your response to a video about how I usually spend all day with my dog, that's part of a channel about all the activities I do with my dog, is to claim I "didn't want a constant companion"? What are you even talking about? Most days I spend every waking hour with my dog. I spend more time with him than any other living being on this planet.
I can pretty much guarantee I spend more time with my dog than you do with yours. Since you are so against leashes I guess you don't walk them. I'm not taking dog caring advice from the guy who thinks that supervised play on a tether is illegal but we should ignore leash laws because leashes are cruel.
I am 63 yrs old. I've had many dogs Some I took to obedience classes and they didnt excell. Others did to the nth degree with no training the first day with no leash. Give your little buddy a shot. I think you could both be happier with mutual trust.
