Lot of excellent information here, especially JDSeller's advice on using for cattle and hogs, not smaller or weaker animals. Hard headed? Their instinct is strong telling them what to do, so the owner/handler needs solid basic obedience to refine that instinct for useful purposes. Start them on basic obedience at seven weeks with a leash. As soon as they are 100% on a leash, start working at liberty, back to the leash when they refuse a command. Praise them when they do something right, "no" when its not. Don't start on livestock until the dog is close to 100% on obedience. Most of the individuals in the bloodlines I have worked with are capable of 100% obedience at liberty once they learn their job, if their owner is willing to put the time in. Some heelers aren't fast or agile enough to survive being used on horses. A lot of courage in a compact package.
