How to train Australian cattle dogs well? When training Australian cattle dogs, the most important thing is to develop their patience and self-control. Keep the training time and steps short every time you train to avoid getting them too tired. Making the training process interesting can increase the effectiveness of the training and better stimulate their interest in learning. In addition, reward their performance in a timely manner so that they know they have done well, which can enhance their self-confidence and make them more motivated to learn.

This dog is energetic, endurance and versatile. It is a good helper for driving cattle to the market for a long distance. Therefore, this dog is adapted to the desolate and wild living environment. Work quietly and quietly, controlling the herd in the most precise and labor-saving way. In essence, it is an outdoor dog breed with strong activity, and you must maintain sufficient exercise during raising it. The current breeds are mated from the mixed race of ancestors of many different breeds.

Please pay attention to the following principles when training a dog:

1. Before correcting a dog's mistake, you must establish a sincere friendship with it.

2. Consider using a professional dog chain that can be stretched and retracted according to the force, which is easier to attract its attention.

3. When it "does crime", even if the blame is just a few minutes later, it will be at a loss.

4. Reinforcement only when you are sure.

5. Use delicious, fun, caring and praising good dogs who are obedient.

6. When correcting bad habits, you must be persistent and resolute, and do not tolerate or give up halfway.

7. After correction, create the same opportunity for the dog. If you do it right this time, you must reward it in time.

8. Use noisy objects and low voices to divert their attention when the dog makes mistakes.

9. Dogs must be worn with collars and dog ties during outdoor training.

10. When correcting a dog in front of others, you don’t have to be embarrassed, but you also need to take care of your dog’s self-esteem.
