[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1473098, member: 968"] Randi described them well. They are the smartest breed you can own, but most people are not smart enough to own them. You MUST BE IN CONTROL. You have to be the Alpha dog - period. They will be the most loyal pet/worker you will ever have. Yes, they will try to heel you, your kids, chickens, cars, you name it. But, as Randi said, you have to nip it in the bud. I have never had one heel/herd anything I did not want them to. I tell everyone, kids and dogs are as good as the parents/owners. I have used a shock collar for my Min Schnauzer to train not to get in road, but the heelers respond well to verbal commands and treats. I do believe in reward training. They love to be "a good dog".
