    @cj Thank you!! Getting her used to being in the same room (leashed) as my resident (leashed) and take things slow from there.

    Fostering a Heeler - I’m an ACD noob

    @cj Sadly, the information was next to nothing so there’s been a lot of assumptions rather than knowing. This is our first herding foster! We’ve only had 1 before her which was another pittie mix, so at least we were more familiar with their temperament! The other dogs (from my knowledge) went...

    Fostering a Heeler - I’m an ACD noob

    @cj I wish I had more knowledge to share in terms of her social interactions. The only info I was told is that she came from the Amish, and was pretty much an off leash/outside dog that would free roam the farm with 2 other dogs. No other dog rescued was injured and so our adoption agency was...

She is now learning to play bow a bit and has also begun to smack him in the face with her paw to initiate play lol

    Fostering a Heeler - I’m an ACD noob

    @jdubbs 1) haha it makes me laugh too, but it’s the best I can describe it!! We are slowing working to teach her basic words, so buttons could absolutely be a resource! 2) not that I saw, no. She’s coming pretty straight on, no bowing, just lunging towards him. Half the time she seemed just...

    Fostering a Heeler - I’m an ACD noob

    Hi all! Fostering a 3 month old heeler puppy who was rescued from a puppy mill. Our resident dog is a 2.5 yr old little mix (about 50 lbs). It’s only been 48 hours, but had a few questions for y’all since she is very different from our resident pup!! 1) whining and squeaking: this gal is...
