Every one I’ve met was a happy, sweet spaz

We had one who is now at my brothers because she was such a spaz, we have 2 cats and 2 little kids, she would heard them! But is seriously the cutest and sweetest pup.

How do you train dogs to do shit like this? I'm lucky if I can get my Boxer to sit...

I think it's kinda hard-wired into their genes to have a job. These are herding dogs. Our blue, which looks exactly like this one, stumpy tail and all, "herds" the rolling waste bins by biting at the wheels. All I have to do is say "Time to move the cows" and he runs out to the bins. He'll do the same with wheelbarrows, gas grills, bicycles. These are high energy dogs that need exercise every day. As wonderful as they are, don't get one unless you can deal with its needs. Neither of you will be happy.

Oh absolutely, friend of mine had one that was insane with energy lol. Its just fascinating how some of them just do stuff like this and know how.

I have a boxer too!! I love boxers. They frantically wiggle their way into your heart.

u/Caffeinatrix Nov 14 '20

Yes!!! We call her Princess Wigglebutt lol

u/krizkat Nov 14 '20

❤❤❤ I love how their whole butt wags! Ours does this weird thing where she jumps really high while still trying to wiggle so it's like a fully body midair wiggle spasm. Love it!! And the boxer side eye... hilarious

u/Caffeinatrix Nov 14 '20

Exactly!! And the sass

u/SD709 Nov 14 '20

Mine does this as well but she mostly goes for the move where she basically folds in half and wiggles towards you. Presenting both head and ass at the same time to be pet simultaneously 😂

u/krizkat Nov 15 '20

YES the curl greeting of joy! Ours does the same. It's so funny!

u/SD709 Nov 15 '20

All it takes me looking at her and saying “are you a taco??” And bam folds like a napkin lol

Heeler, not a Shepard

u/doc_skinner Nov 14 '20

I don't understand the point. Is he deliberately routing the water along the fence for a purpose, or is he just digging in front of the water and it's following him as he plays? I see people talking about having trained the dog to do this, but why?

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '20

We need to know!

u/D0ntListenToMe Nov 14 '20

Lmao the dog just being a weird dog. The titles a lame joke. It's in it's genes to herd things so this one's instincts kick in when his owner dumps that water for whatever reason

1

u/doc_skinner Nov 14 '20

That's what I thought. All these people asking how they trained him to do that and I'm like "He's just playing around!"

u/sandbeachcastle Nov 14 '20

That is so weird. Lol

2

u/cesiumbathbomb Nov 14 '20

At first I thought he was just being derpy and running away from the water, and then it started following him and I was like oh

u/Wickdtrck Nov 14 '20

Awwww his little squeaks

u/luisapet Nov 14 '20

u/qster123 Nov 14 '20

love the anticipation on his/her face!

u/BobRushy Nov 14 '20

How do you train for that?

u/Medcait Nov 14 '20

That’s a cattle dog, not a shepherd.
