A lot of online websites with ACD dog owners telling me their tales helps me realize my Australian cattle dog is normal and his behaviour is the regular behaviour of a ACD puppy. It is a HUGE relief to find out I'm on the right track and I'm not a hopeless dog owner. My dog breed is known for biting, barking and jumping and there isn't much I can do about it except give him commands. He is going to do it, and I just have to deter him.
Is there such thing as a well-behaved ACD dog? I don't know....I know if you work them hard enough and their exhausted their good for a time...:)
But I'm not giving up on Benji just because of his dog breed. It's going to take a lot more than that! I am glad to find that reading herding dog specific training helps me find methods to deal with him, train him and spend money on things that keep him stimulated mentally and physically.
