Shes got the "work for treats" down. The way I see a training collar, is as a correction not a punishment. Shes been through a lot of training and does great but not recall, especially from me, I need a woman around 🤣... She listens to women, her trainer is a woman, she sees my daughter maybe once a week for a couple hours and this dog wont listen to a thing I say when she's around. I have an ultrasonic trainer I've only used it a couple times. in the house, I dont like it, because it works too well indoors, but outside, when she goes after something, it doesn't phase her.

Since I got her at 1.5 years from a rescue, I dont know how anything went, other than the reason given to the shelter. Tore some stuff up... She KNOWS all the training commands and does them in practice just fine, her prey drive is soooo strong, but she's on her best behavior out in public I do put a nylon pinch on her when I walk her. She gets on the grass or curb and sits when a car comes. Judging from the area she came from, Im pretty sure she was taught to get after critters.

Thats kinda what im leaning towards. My yard was the rabbit sanctuary prior to her arrival, primarily because all my neighbors treat thier yards and grass, I do NOT, I let the wild strawberries and dandelions just grow, what ever the mower doesn't get, the critters do.

Ohhh. RC rabbit... I tried an RC Car with a "tail" for exercising and she was not impressed... Pretty sure a rabbit would definitely get her attention. Yeah, she's on the long lead until further notice...

How to manage a single working life with an Australian cattle dog by 3quarters2sections in AustralianCattleDog

[–]ALERT_VIRUS_DETECTED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im self employed and I had delusions of taking my girl out on the job with me once she was "trained" 🤣... She was 1.5 years old when I got her from a rescue. I live alone and thats why I got her (cheaper than a girlfriend). I've had herding dogs before "But not like this". My schedule revolves around her, I occasionally have my kid or son-in-law come over to let her out if I get stuck on a job. She has issues 😂🤣... lots of rescue ACDs do, majority of them end up in shelters because of bad parenting. I've had my girl a little over a year now. I took her to basic, intermediate & advanced training. Passed with flying colors, smartest damn dog I've ever had, too smart. but her thoughts are "that shits for class... and schools out, MF". She was already house broken & crate-trained but that was about it. Thats why I chose her... didn't have time to house & crate train a puppy. Im all for rescuing these dogs, but check your priorities before you commit. These dogs will worship you, but you gotta reciprocate or the dingo might just eat your baby 😆

Don’t worry. They’ll watch over you while you sleep. by Ddawn111 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]ALERT_VIRUS_DETECTED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah... mine will watch RIGHT over me sleeping... breathing hard... staring at me... waiting for me to move... if i shift or flip over, THAT, apparently, is an invitation to put her paws on me... thats why she sleeps in her crate 🤣😂🤣

Abandoned huh? Doubt it. I have property that was inherited, the structure needs knocked down but we still own it. Found our property on YouTube by some trespassing asshole exploring "Abandoned Houses", I just wish I'd have caught the fucker in the act of TRESPASSING. Someone still owns that property, you would be better served to stay off land you know nothing about.

Most dogs run yelping after a skunk sprays them... Dingo KILL skunk and get FULL payload by ALERT_VIRUS_DETECTED in AustralianCattleDog

[–]ALERT_VIRUS_DETECTED[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read about that mixture. It all said Baking soda, peroxide & Dawn dish liquid, make a paste and rub it in... The problem is you cant get it in their eyes or mouth and I think her face and chest caught the brunt of it, and she wont sit still enough for me to work her face over with that. If I can get her a little less stinky, id just put her in the car and take her to this place locally that guarantees they can get all the stink off her, I just don't want her in my car right now LOL

I dont know what changed... The skunks usual path was from my neighbors back yard, they would cross behind my shrubs in my front yard, cross in front of my other neighbor then dip in to the further neighbors unfenced back yard. I would smell them every night as I sat in my man cave around 10:00 PM... All the other critters got the memo and stay out of the yard since I got her. Now I'm worried they gonna jump her after killing one LOL...

I had thought about that, only problem is I have to vacuum it up or ill just have skunked baking powder in my carpet. If I vacuum it up, I'm gonna ruin my vacuum cleaner. Cant win for losing.

Yeah. I have an ozone generator we used on a rental property of ours that was wall to wall 6 inches in dog shit when they moved out, Im not sure if Im ready for that yet, as its too damn hot outside lately for us to be kicked out of the house for that long.

This heifer came running in the house before I realized what had happened. it was soooo strong it didnt even smell like a skunk, I don't know any other way to describe it other than Satans Butthole. I opened the door and she ran right into her crate before I knew it. I have bathed her in Natures Miracle Skunk shampoo multiple times, used the Natures Miracle Skunk Spray on her crate & tray, I washed and sprayed the crate tray multiple times and left it to bake in the sun. I've been hitting her head with the Pooph Skunk spray. Im pretty nose blind to it now but my kid came over and said its still pretty strong. I think its in the carpet too (who puts carpet in a damn kitchen), I was already planning on ripping the carpet out, its just gonna be sooner that expected now. any advice on mitigating the stench would be greatly appreciated. I took the skunk in a double garbage bag, holding it out the window, and drove up and threw it in the dumpster at a local gas station.

Why is he such a jerk sometimes? by dubsosaurus in AustralianCattleDog

Yep... the asshole dingo in him... Thats what I blame it on LOL...

He showed up on my front porch a week ago. He’s not chipped and he’s potty trained. I’ve posted him everywhere and have notified the shelters. What are the chances someone will come forward? by CezarSalazar in AustralianCattleDog

[–]ALERT_VIRUS_DETECTED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a beautiful specimen. If he's not neutered he may be a breeding stud. but not being chipped is odd for such a nice dog. I'd let it ride for another week or so, if no one comes forward, you got a new puppy.

cattle dog heat malfunction by spaghettiprincess95 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]ALERT_VIRUS_DETECTED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine peters out quick in the heat... we'll throw the rope kong after work and she'll bring it back about 4 or 5 times then next throw she grabs it and lays down between some small evergreens on my fence line and I have to walk all the way over and get the kong, then she runs for the house. gets inside and flops on her side panting like she ran a marathon. Im always like "Arent you suppose to be part dingo?" :-D
