Walking a Australian Cattle Dog
Heelers are relentless herders that thrive with a job and a steady routine.
Relentless endurance and high drive make Cattle Dogs excellent running and hiking companions. Walks alone rarely satisfy them — they need substantial daily exercise and mental challenge. A Heeler without enough outlet tends to invent its own job, which is rarely welcome indoors. Varied routes and training integration on walks are the most effective formula.
