i love how i already did the bathing techniques when i got max. i learned it in my pre vet tech class. GO NEW MARKET SKILLS CENTER!
How did you get your heeler to stop nipping at your hand throughout the grooming? I’ve got a 6 mo old heeler and she can nip very quickly. We are trying to teach her no but it’s so reactive for her to nip.
Can you tell me what the blue comb brush is called. Would like to find one for my heeler. She looks just like your heeler. Beautiful dogs they have a wonderful mommy ❤
We just picked up our blue a week ago, and boy what a spitfire she is at 2mos. We have 2 Saints males and they are in their twilight years. Right now we are trying to keep her from just latching on to them all the time. I heard until they are 3yrs you are in what’s called the baby raptor phase. And boy ever. We have chew toys and things, but trying to calm her from beating up my two old guys has been changing sometimes. She has gotten better with them. So, the book we had with the Saints lol has been thrown out and what a difference. The grooming tips are extremely helpful! I think I’m going to make a calendar just for her. We love our little spitfire Ava and are looking forward to grow together and have many happy memories.
My dog has to roll in a mud puddle everytime I cleaning him
My cattle dog LOVEESSSSSS to roll in poop 😩 i leave him outside with his best friend German shepherd and come out to him covered in poop 😂
How old is your cattle dog?
One of the things that surprised me about my first cattle dog mix was that his coat was more waterproof than the lab mix I had previously! Like coated with carnauba wax!
Also surprising to have mostly black nails and pads on mostly white feet! His pads grow so hard, like bristles. I kept putting balm or moisturizer on it but it did nothing.
Also the poop perfume…
Dead fish is a favorite for them to roll in, since we have a pond. The one that got him banned from the house for a while was the human feces at the park.
Be vigilant, they are capable of amazing feats even if they are on a leash!
I really like to use a flea comb as it does get down to the under coat and also if your dog does by chance have any fleas or tics you may find them in the process. Also love this breed as my Red Heeler simply does not shed hardly at all. Go a week and run a comb through him and only get a few hairs. My Blue mix sheds some because she has Colie in the mix. I like to use a grinder on the nails and they seem to love it a lot over clipping. Got to love this bread!!! Thanks
4 mo. Zoro Here.. Hey, I think I found another "Tool" in the box to train against Biting (probably my biggest issue so far). He loves to play, but gets carried away and forgets.. When he forgets and gets "Bitey", I put his Tail in his mouth, often making him bite his tail! The look on his face when that happens is truly a learning moment for him. He stops biting me (for a little while anyway)! He's usually at my feet, and I forget he's there sometimes. I stepped on him a couple days ago! He was limping.. I felt Soo Bad.. He was obviously kind of angry with me.. but we made up.. his limp is nearly gone now. I don't know anything about Dingos.. but Zoro clearly has characteristics of a wild animal (Fox maybe?). He fits thru amazingly narrow door openings.. his skeleton is less "Stiff" than a dog.. he's hard to grab. Most feral animals are much smarter.. like wild turkeys are whereas Butterball turkeys will drown in a rain storm or get lost in a fence corner.
I have a question what can I use to regrow some thinning areas on there fur
Wow you can brush there teeth. Lol my tow gang up on me when I'm caring for either one.
My healer washing routine is :- 1) grab garden hose. 2) watch dog bolt and try to find him
I also bathe my cattle dog about 3 times a year (especially when she’s blowing her coat) or when she rolls in something really dirty. She loves playing in the water, which helps knock some of the dirt off between washes. They’re really low maintenance dogs as far as their coats go.
If your Heeler is outside alot,they do not like any kind of Scent ( perfumey soap,etc.) on their coats,as other animals will smell them.
Any ideas for flea infestation? We even have a seresto collar on her and she's still keeping her friends
Fragrance free shampoo would be best for the dog and humans!
Great video. My Red girl Maggie sheds constantly. It's a daily battle, but she's healthy and full of love. I couldn't ask for more.
We use to breed heelers when I was a kid, back then they sold for 50 a pup now they are 200-500 crazy. Anyways mine is expected to be here in October my heart is full!
My dogs nails grow fast
I use non scented wipes sometimes like baby wipes but non-senty to wipe my dog's face sweet
And I'm wanting to go to the PCC health store and I'm going to get some non-scented dog or not dog shampoo but shampoo nonsense shampoo that I can use and she can use my dog
My boyfriend said he want to use Johnson to Johnson baby no tear shampoo and I'm telling him it won't work the best thing for your dog is a unscented type of body wash that comes from the natural the PCC health store
Teething products?
I wish my boy would stay still like that during bath time and grooming. He makes it so challenging.
Poop Perfume 🤣🤣🤣 Mine loves it, ugh! Thank you for the tips.
No because my dogs stink after 2 weeks
I never gave my cattle dog a bath, every other day in the summer he'll swim a couple miles a day,great way to wear him out also without the shock of running. In the winter he'll go roll in the snow.
I adopted a red heeler about a month ago. She had a really hard life and I think it profoundly affected her coat. Her patchy thin nearly pure white coat has given way to a beautiful deep red speckle. She's not yet grown out new guard hairs yet. It's going down with time, but she generates a LOT of wax in her coat. When I adopted her I assumed she'd just never been bathed in her life, but it came back a week later, just not rancid or dirty this time. Is that a kind of characteristic of ACDs, or do you think it'll get better as her body fully recovers?
I am afraid to bathe mine because last time she got all these eruptions all down her back and she suffered for 2 weeks. What could have caused it?
My Red is shedding crazily right now. I started furminating several times a week. It's amazing how much comes off. He loves it. And with regards to shaving. In March he had an ultrasound and the vet shaved him….he's yet to grow completely in; at this point I'm considering shaping it like a heart! But that undercoat is like baby hair. LOL
I have a 9 week old Texas heeler who is the joy of my life right now, what a sweetie! I've been working with her to get her used to being touched on her ears, paws, mouth, etc and she handles it all quite well. Shortly after she came to me she rolled in yucky so I gave her a bath. Since then she has been scratching up a storm and I don't know if it's from the bath (dry or irritated skin) or if it's from a food change (allergy). Any tricks on being able to tell? This video was great, I will be using your techniques!
You are a great heeler mama!!

My little Aussie bundle of love gets this full treatment about three to four times per year.
I lucked out because she likes snoot boops while I brush her teeth…a little bit. ☺️ Plus, one of my Vet Techs at our office owns a fellow Blue Heeler/ACD herself. Our doggos are almost twins!
