Training Tips for Your Blue Heeler
Starting the training of your blue heeler as soon as possible is some of the best advice anybody can give you (this goes for any breed of dog). Take some time to brush up on some methods for how to train your dog and then begin.
In teaching your heeler how to sit, come and do more tricks, owners can make use of simple tactics or verbal cues and a lot of repeating. Repetition is so very important because it will allow your dog to pick things up at a much faster pace. Patience and determination will help in accomplishing this.
Doing some training several times throughout the day is a good way to teach your heeler, but it is also important to consider some a little nit of down time. One other thing is to begin the use of hand signals along with the commands. This will come in handy down the road. Once the dog is already familiar with the gestures, the owner can now use verbal commands or hand signals to get your blue heeler do what it is asked of him.
Above all, consistency needs to be part of training a dog. It is a must to use the same commands and the same hand signals (or gestures) always. Verbal cues implying two different commands should not be used in order to avoid confusion for your australian cattle dog.
There are also a couple of other important tips that could help owners in teaching their blue heelers. Give rewards when your heeler accomplishes what you ask of him. This is helpful during the process of training for the reason that this makes the dog remember the things it must do to get a prize. Mistakes will be made, and when they are don't scream at or hurt your blue heeler. Dogs may not be able to understand the real reason behind your anger. This isn't the right thing to do, it just won't help.
Obedience Training needs to be fun and enjoyable for everybody involved. Training should not be made complicated or tough to do, specifically if your blue heeler has just started the training. It should also not take many hours of the day as this might bore or exhaust your heeler. Nevertheless, owners and trainers like you should learn all they can about dog training and begin as soon as possible. It really does make for a more enjoyable life for everybody involved.

Please don't waste my time with your bull sh** answers.
Thanks!
you need to look into getting a really good food..high in protien. Like science diet, neutro (I dont think I spelled that right) some Iams is good too. you want the first ingredient to be a meat. if they first ingrdient is corn thats HORRIBLE...corn is just a filler and most of the time a food with corn as the first ingredient is full of fat and not enough protien and vitamins. and a food would be even better is it just says Chicken, or lamb and not chicken by produck or lamb by product. if it says by products..I would look for one that just says the meat. and beef actually isnt the best of the "meats" to feed your dog. I mean you can. its much better then feeding then a food with corn as the first ingredient...but Lamb is the best...its good for their coat Lamb and rice is good. chicken is used in ALOT of good foods. I believe thats what the first ingredient in science diet it..(which I feed my dog)
you need to also look into finding a Dog Agility class to take her too.. she will LOVE IT! and if you dont know what agility is..its the dog sport where they run through the hoops and up and down the ramps really fast. dogs like border collies, aussie and any herding breed excell in agility. because those breeds need a job to do. and if you dont have a herd of sheep outside or alot of land..these classes with keep them exercised as well as mentally stimulated. and its fun because sometimes you can get involved with her too and train her to do the agility yourself 
my dog (hes a pointer/lab) is really good at agility. and if you keep her exercised and trained you can teach her how to walk off leash really easy. she is a very smart breedmix.
lookinto getting a really long training lead. and walk her outside. keep her beside you...and let out alittle slack..if she wanders away..give a command like "come or something to get her to come back to you" if she doesnt listen then pull her back..keep doing that over and over and over and evenually she will learn hope this helps some
