- ➳ If you have an aussie, then you probably already have some jobs lined up for them to do! Well here are 5 jobs that I give Frankie, my australian shepherd. These are obviously going to be very different for a lot of people and a lot of dogs. Some dogs don't like certain tasks, and some are too obsessed with certain ones. the important thing is to find the job for your job and what works best for you
Again thank you for all the love and support and kind messages, Frankie is feeling a lot better!

Ok. Everyone says Aussies are high energy - I have a pure Breed Aussiefrom Montana- and he is absolutely the most laziest- kind- loving soul in the world. He likes to do tricks here and then but he rather cuddle and be with me 24/7! He gets along with dogs, he has lots of dog friends He LOVES to walk and play with- but after 20
Mins he is like over it! ? He rather walk me to the couch to watch animal planet! I SWARE! lol. Either way this breed is seriously THE BEST! absolutely love them ❤
We just had a ~14 month old Aussie turn up in our property one morning. He was just here playing with our dogs but was ready to run away when he saw me. I called him while bending down to his level and he gingerly came over and let me pet him. No collar/name tag filthy, skinny, riddled with fleas and hungry for love.
He was also intact and the vet couldn’t find a chip anywhere in his body. We looked for his family in all the websites, the shelter and all notices for lost dogs 250 miles around. No one had ever seen him, and even UPS man had never seen him in any of the surrounding properties. We are very rural, 20 acres on dirt roads, and though it’s not common for dogs to be dumped around here it does happen.
It’s been 4 weeks and Foster has gained a little bit of weight, no longer has matted hair and fleas. He’s also been fixed and has a new chip. Foster is no longer our “foster dog” he has found a place in our pack an ranch. He’s a sweet, beautiful boy whom we are training to not chew on shoes and cables. And we love him.
I imagine someone couldn’t give him the exercise and attention he needed to not become destructive and they couldn’t deal with him any more. Here he’s learning to herd our goats and chickens and he’s part of the nightly security force, our pack, that keeps coyotes and other pests away from our animals. He’s a happy boy with a forever home.
Please do not get an Aussie if you can’t give the space and work they need to be happy.
WE HIT 20k🎉 thank you so so much! And by we I mean all of you! The support still makes our jaws drop to this day. So much love ❤️
YAY!! Congrats!
Much love joey & frankie! Heres to 20k more! 🎉
Congrats, Joey and Frankie!!!!🤗🥳
I’ve recently found this channeling honestly enjoy it and it helps me have ideas for my 9 month old pup
Awesome job! I love your videos! They are very helpful! 😁
We just rescued an Aussie a couple weeks ago. Him and that frisbee, holy crap. He destroyed 2 in the first day so that Kong is a great purchase. That herding trait is so strong with him. Such a great breed, all full of love and happiness. I’d forgotten how therapeutic having a dog is.
I've found my brother's aussie is fine with catching anything frizbee like. So those small lids that you can throw work well. Like off soup containers. Our dog doesn't seem interested in tearing the lil ones up but he loves catching anything frizbee. He won't tare them up if you keep him going I buy like 20 and he runs back and forth catching them and eventually he just started dropping the Frisbee back off by me in a little line. You can't throw the new one till he drops off the one he caught though. That's key to allowing him to line up the drop offs
My favorite dogs in the world! Aussies are so smart, photogenic, high energy, and can play so many sports and games! But you better enjoy brushing... and vacuuming!
I hadn’t known Frankie is a service dog. I’d sure enjoy a video of you speaking more to that, very interested.
What's the difference? Train them, love them and give them a job to do. All dog training and the bond established applies to both service animals and awesome pets. My dog is a service dog, not officially as I have no need and he isn't allowed anywhere a pet can't be since I want to respect those that have a need. He does however have the ability should I get hit by a bus tomorrow and someone need a service animal, to be just that. His training emphasis is retrieving dropped items or bring back items by name. He also lays down when a siren goes off.
@@allaboutroofing2 I don't think he is a service dog. A service dog is a dog trained to specifically do tasks to assist and mitigate your disability but then again I'm not sure where he is from if he is from England (I'm guessing by him saying 20° is warm hinting celcius) he could be a service dog as we call actual service dogs assistance dogs 🤷🏻♀️
@@maddyrose9569 I'm pretty sure he said Ottawa which would make sense as this doesn't look like the UK
I was wondering that too!
He used the term service dog but seems like the job is accompanying him to deliver/drop off packages
You are so good with Frankie. I had a minature American Eskimo who was my running buddy for 10 years. He even ran a 5k race off leash with me and stayed right by me through the whole race. I loved that dog! Trish
My border collie/Aussie went through a phase where she didn’t like the car when she previously did. There was about a month where she had a several of vet appointments, dental cleaning and grooming and they weren’t necessarily fun for her even though she got lots of treats when I was there to give them to her. We did training in the car with so many treats and fun trips to visit doggo friends and family. It seemed to work really well. She gets in the car and relaxes and passes out now instead of pace and pant.
Yeah i think i need to start bringing treats in the car. It is just tough when you are driving, i hate being distracted but maybe when angelica comes i'll get her to feed him
@@FrankieToTheMoon Another person does help. I have a 12 year old to help with that.
I have two aussies, we use the pupflask as our water bottle! It’s amazing, it comes with a lid which is a bowl and whatever water you don’t pour out it goes back into the bottle - it’s great!
So happy to see Frankie feeling better. He is so sweet! My husband and I have 2 Australian Shepherds (Owen and Grady) they are truly great dogs 🐕
I love your relationship with Frankie. You two should really do more frisbee and take it more seriously. Frankie is so good and has a burning passion for it. Try to teach him the rebound and some frisbee tricks with it, you will have so much fun. Greeting from a German aussie owner!
Frankie can do the rebound... but not properly and it hurts me haha so it'll take some time
Will you run Him on a bike someday?
Hey bro, I inherited a neglected 3 year-old full-size Aussie from a first-time dog owner who would leave him crated or locked in a room for 12 hours at a time. When I got him, I was determined to exercise him adequately, but I think that his uneventful puppy years made him lazy, because, unless he’s romping around with a fellow canine companion, he literally refused to run. Okay, he’ll run to CATCH something, but he takes his sweet time coming back, and even crossing a street, he will not run! As in, he refuses to run. The kicker is, I love to run, but as it is, I’m leaving Tater at home because, I think he’s broken. I’ve tried carrying treats, but then he stays buried in my pocket. What can I do. I know we have to build up, but I don’t even know where to start. Thanks for the content, as the last year has made me a huge fan of the breed, but I want him to be as healthy as he can be, and for that, he’s got get that cardio going! Any tips?
@@TheREALJackFuriousmaybe he might need a professional trainer for just a bit and make sure you're feeding him high-quality food (not necessarily highest price)
They do really love to work ! My aussie is the happiest when I ask her to do stuff : fetch things, agility training, nosework... Also so happy to see Frankie feeling better 😊
That "look" they constantly give is them asking for work haha
I'm getting a service prospect soon (labrador retriever, not a mini aussie) and I'd love to hear how you've gone about task training with Frankie! Hearing from other handlers who have owner-trained their service dogs is always wonderful because I get good tips and tricks for training my own prospect.
Yay! So thankful Frankie is feeling better! ❤️
Welcome back 😊.... It's good to see you all happy and healthy 😊
Congrats to 20k - you totally deserve it! ☺
Love your channel! I’m getting a Aussie next year and I’m so excited!
So thankful he's feeling better.
Thank you for emphasizing Frankie loves his jobs and needs them to utilize his abundant energy. We learned how important jobs were to our Aussie and Aussie/Border Collie mix brothers. Of course, their first job was to be with us, Aussies bond to their people and they become pack. I am very much an introvert, but walking with my dogs made me feel more comfortable around people. Training is a life long process because Aussies are smart and need to be learning to keep them happy and their brain busy. In our house we say, “a bored Aussie is a destructive Aussie”. I am so happy to see that Frankie is back to feeling good.
I’ve had five mini Aussies and they’ve all been brilliant and fun to exercise and train.
I totally agree with the first point, I do alot of photography with my aussie and he's such a poser !! He's very good at taking directions and all the stays etc actually calms him right down.
it is insane! they turn into a model so quickly haha
so happy frankie is feeling so much better good to see you guys its been awhile and congrats on your 20k you and frankie are always a pleasure to watch lol you have become one of my favorite reality shows lol be safe have fun
wow a reality show .. i dont know if my mom will be happy about that one haha thanks for watching!
Aaaaaaa congrats on 20k you crazy muffinheads!!🎉
I have a mini Aussie that is a service dog and he LOVES and when I mean loves it he loves it! When I say u wanna go to work he gets so excited! It’s what he does working wise!
This is awesome! I need to start working on and implementing these things with my Aussie!
Love my Aussie. She's so sweet and loving. She keeps me busy for sure.
I'm so excited. I'm getting a puppy Aussie this Saturday! I've been waiting for her since her mom got pregnant.
Frankie is so cute ❤️ Congratulations for the 20k! You really deserve them! 😍
Thank you so so so much!
@@FrankieToTheMoon 💛💛
So delighted to see Frankie back to his old self 😊 Congratulations on 20k 🎉
Ah thank you so much!
Beautiful Frankie
Thanks for posting
Glad he’s feeling better
Intelligent pooch
How to keep your Aussie busy #1: make him social media manager of a TH-cam channel
Yeah that's what comes to mind naturally 😁
And that's why youtubers are not normal people 😳
Lol
@@FrankieToTheMoon i'm sure it pays well! (TREATS TREATS and MORE TREATS!)
CONGRATS ON 20K!! Glad to see Frankie feeling better.
My mini aussie loves playing with the Frisbee! She loves catching balls and brings them back to me. Such a wonderful breed.
Congratulations on 20k!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Your videos give me life! I love the relationship you have with Frankie! I am waiting for my mini Aussie due in June! 🥰 your videos will definitely be part of his training
Ahh that is so exciting!
Soooo exciting!!! It’s like my whole world revolves around my pup and It’s not even born yet! I already ordered him a leash & a collar from WILDERDOG (per your suggestion) good quality stuff so thank you for that!
I was going to order his ID tag from QUALO, but decided to wait until his rabies vaccine. Probably won’t be able to wait 🤣
Congratiolations on 20k! You deserve it and more! Love this channel 💞🙏🍀💞
You're the best!
Yay Frankie!! I love this channel.
CUTE Frankie 🐶🐕🐶 very intelligent and fluffy 😍😍, SUPER LIKE from Brazil 👍🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷
Yoshi, the little yorkie, woof woof 🐶🐶🐶
You are the perfect Aussie owner! People are always asking me about whether an Aussie would be a good dog for them. Rarely do I give an unqualified yes. From now on I think I'll just send my readers here and say, "This is what a good Aussie Owner should be willing to do."
Found your page while doing research (getting an Aussie at the end of June). The relationship you and Frankie have is AWESOME! You guys have definitely inspired me to give my future dog (Gumbo) the best life possible. Thanks for sharing your videos. :) I will be watching forever now!
Aww Gumbo!! Can't wait for your pup to live life with ya
I'm getting mine at the end of June too (23rd). Where's yours from?
My own mini Aussie is 3 years old now. He’s such a lovely boy like yours with almost identical coat. Oh I love him so much. I can never look at someone’s Aussie and not smile 🥹
I use a thermos. I can put ice cubes for super hot/long days and it fits a decent chunk and takes tumbles from the pack real well. Plus if you get one with a wide mouth you can put food in it too
We love you watching your videos! Aussies are the best hiking buddies 🥰
Great video dude! This is gold
I just lost my Aussie at 13 years, she was amazing, truly the greatest dog you could ask for. We competed in agility when I was younger and she took that job very seriously and loved it. Frisbee was also a favorite, she would get visibly sad/frustrated when she didn’t catch it. The little adventures were the best, she knew what harness we used for off leash and she would get so excited. Great off leash dog and she had a blast jumping around the woods exploring. Truly an amazing dog and breed, and a huge loss. I’ll probably end up getting another one at some point because she was so awesome.
@Lydia Mather so sorry for the loss of your Aussie. I had 3 mini’s & lost one of them a couple years ago at 11 years of age. Yes they are awesome babies. Very smart & loving❣️🐾
you have given me great tips about Aussies and now I'm prepared to get my Aussie! Thx man.
haha thanks for watching! but hey if you get a crazo it's not on me haha
@@FrankieToTheMoon lol luckily I'm getting a pup and I can possibly train it to not be so crazy but still be playful.
Frankie is so smart! 🥰
This reminds me so much of my 1.5 year old mini Australian Shepherd. I take him to work with me everyday and in the morning, I get him out of the car, and I started telling him to wait because I have to lock the door and get my coffee. After only a couple of days, he gets out, then walks toward me and waits for me to lock the door and get my coffee. He has also quickly learned to "leave" things, and understands when I tell him not to bark when he goes outside in my backyard (there are many dogs in my neighborhood and Louie thinks he has to protect us).
8:28 such a beautiful, peaceful shot ❤️
Aaaaahhhhhh Frankie 💖 Thanks so much for the wonderful advice Joey and congrats on 20K! I am wondering if you will be doing a video on how to help Aussies with the heat in the summer. My Aussie, Sam will be a year old in July and I am concerned about the heat. We don't get as much humidity in PEI as Ottawa but it still gets hot here.
Congrats on 20k👍🎉🥳
Thanks jay!
I love your relationship with Frankie. And I would love to know what kind of running belt you and Frankie use. I’m wanting to purchase one and could use a good recommendation. We are so happy to see Frankie healthy and happy running about!
Oooo I didn't know you were also in Ottawa! Haha maybe one of these days I'll be lucky enough to see you & Frankie walking around :)
Great video, thanks for sharing your lives with us!
Frankie is awesome. My Duke doesn't have the same passion for frisbees, but he has that passion for fetch. He's crazy about the ball and ball thrower.
Love your videos! You inspire me to just get out with my Dobby and have fun.
aw love that!
I love my Australian Shepherd. He’s so smart and loving. Your dog is so cute.
I also got an Australian Shepherd puppy. Super smart. Love him. I hope chase and I can have a great relationship like you and Frankie
I bought the “LESOTC water bottle for dogs” after I saw someone using it on a road trip at a rest stop. I love it! I got mine on Amazon $15. It has a folding cap that becomes a bowl to drink from. So useful!
Beautiful dog.
Mine 8 weeks old and he and i really like him .. I've had blue heallers and curr dogs this is my first Aussie
I have the Arcadia Trails Travel water bottle (27 oz) with the silicon flip for Archie and June! They're brother / sister Mini Aussies that watch your videos daily from Michigan! We love the videos!
Congratulations on 20k!!!!!!
Also, first😁
Ahh thank you!
One of my Border Collies favorite jobs is taking the trash out with me 😂. He absolutely loves all tasks.
I use a vibedration pack when I hike with my dog. It's easy to put water in her bowl and easy for me to drink while we walk. And I can fit our necessities in the bag
I KNEW IT! I saw this and was like 'This... Looks like where I live.' Haha, love this.
Not surprised that Frankie was able to make the change up and catch the frisbee off an obstacle. We have many trees in our yard, and mine does a pretty good job of changing his direction when the frisbee bounces off of a tree branch. I just wish mine would bring the frisbee back. He makes a catch and drops it, waiting for another one. But our younger Aussie will sometimes grab the dropped frisbee and bring it back for him.
I have a kong insulated water bottle. Got it on Amazon, its great, super durable and my boy loves drinking from the funnel it comes with
I love Frankie! Thinking about getting one but when I watch this, I wonder if at 65 I could keep up with one...
Found you by accident. Have a 3 year old mini. She is my running buddy and loves that Kong frisbee. They are great dogs
They are smart, I had border collies which are also smart. I had 2 girls who got along mostly except at feeding time, I would put the younger girl in the garage while I fed the older one. When I went to get the younger one she was sitting in the front seat. My husband said I must have left the car door open, for peace I didn’t say anything. The next day the car light was on. After feeding her I went back in the garage and found the door handle wet and full of teeth marks. She knew how to open the door hoping for a car ride. I’m too old now to have border collies now. Just can’t give them the exercise they need. So I get my doggie need somewhat filled by watching videos like yours. Thank you so much.
We just got an Aussie. She is about 4 months now and she can’t catch anything lol. Treats just hit her face 😂. Did Frankie naturally catch things or was it a thing that happened over time ? Great vid by the way
Mine was the same way, thats a little early. They are still developing coordination. Mine started catching out of nowhere at about 8 months.
My border collie is 4.5 months and has just started to catch. Just balls around the house, he’s not quite fast enough to get the frisbee although he tries. I’ve read rolling the frisbee on the ground gets them used to biting the sides of the frisbee. See if that helps and keep throwing those tennis balls! I also make an effort to have slightly different responses when he “catches and returns” vs just “returns” extra praise for catching!
Aww, she's just a baby. Many dogs don't instinctively fetch. Herding dogs aren't retrievers. They naturally chase but won't necessarily bring it back to you on instinct alone. Dogs don't just know how to play with humans, part of the fun of building a relationship with them is teaching them
To 🥰
she'll get it. I call my girl, My Shortstop. She'll snag tennis balls in the air over her shoulder while running back to get them. Or head off one I try to shoot it by her on the ground. That's when she's not bringing a frisbee to play with. All I have to do is say Get the Ball and the hunt is on with her running all over the house or yard until she finds it.
I taught my dog to catch this week (he’s 6 months old) and it took two-three days with the steps I found in TH-cam videos. It’s so fun to teach!!
I have 4 miniature Aussies. They so enjoyable. One of them has had to have ACL and meniscus surgery but we are on recovery.
They are very smart and the more you do with them the more they love it. I have 3 blue merle, and one black and white tri colored love them. Easiest 3 on a bottle cause lost the mom are her C-section. So I’m just disabled to do a lot. But what I can they enjoy. And love to be talked to and loved. I enjoy your channel your so is beautiful
Beautiful Clever Dog ❤
Frankie, is an amazing dog. I really enjoyed your video.
Hi! Omg, I love Frankie so much, he's so well behaved, mine is just a crazy pup that just loves to sleep and run. Haha!
Frankie is so handsome and photogenic... And a good dog!!
Totally unrelated to the video but my Aussie got groomed today and he is so soft! Also congrats on 20k subs 🎉
3:00 such a happy Aussie
❤ I only just found you guys! It is going to be such a treat to catch up on all the videos. It’s a beautiful thing to see how you interact with Frankie. The love, caring, and respect comes through loud and clear.
Awesome work. I’ve taught my mini Australian Shepard to mark my lie in disc golf. As soon as I grab my disc golf bag she’s gets the zoomies on the way to the car. And she gets them a lot if we drive past the disc golf course she knows where it is even if you take different routes to the course. I have been working with her since she was a puppy she now loves disc golfing with groups if gives her more discs to mark. After everyone shoots there shot I throw a dog disc roller for her to tackle and she takes it to the basket. That’s her disc and she is really good at listening to my leave it commands from a distance but it’s taken lots of practice, peanut butter and short throws before we upgraded to longer throws and the courses she frequents.
We disc golf at least weekly. She lots playing in all kinds of weather from rain, sun, and even snow. She will often do glow rounds with me with her light and show me wear my shots went. You just gotta pay attention to her light movements.
We do runs as well if it's not too hot. Usually we would run to an open area then i let him loose so he can run at his natural pace which is more in intervals. I recognise a lot of the stuff you talk about, instead of frisbee we have like a ball attached to a rope that we throw in moderation. Hikes can be good to because its's a new area and even if they don't run there is so many new smells etc. We have done a few courses in agility and obedience and there is an agility course quite close to where we live so we go there from time to time as well, he seem to enjoy that :)
Recommendation for a water bottle there is one on Amazon and you poor the the water into like a Built in cup by pressing a button and what ever he dose not drink just press the button and tilt a bit and the water will go back it it is also foldable it is made by Amalen also to let you know I have not bought this water bottle but I have seen good reviews and I plan on getting it for my dogs I just thought you wold like to check it out and see if it is good for Frankie hope this helps have a good day also congrats on 20k 🐶👏😁
I have a water bottle recommendation!!!! We use the squeeze dog water bottles from amazon because they have a little bowl top and you just squeeze the water up into the bowl and anything you doggo doesn’t drink drains right back in. It doesn’t leak and I absolutely swear by it. The one we use is the AutoDogMug Highwave Leak-Tight 22oz (I haven’t had any problems with it but I also haven’t tried the other ones to see if it’s necessarily the best one).
Oh okay we will look it up! thanks so much!
Just found your channel. Loves it! Considering getting an aussie, but so scared about leaving him/her alone when im at work. What do you work with / able to work from home?
i have a female aussie and she loves her water bottle.it has the bowl attached so you pour as they drink so u don't waste to much water.our aussie loves to fetch and carry around a hula hoop :) she loves frizbies also but balls and hula hoops are her faves :)
Cute channel man. I love my Aussie. Best dog ever.
My dad actually manged to teach my old yellow lab to fetch him beers- his name was Ivory :)
I just got a blue Merle mini Aussie last Monday. He’s 12 weeks old now. And he’s already so smart. He’s 100% crate trained. 95% house broke. Has maybe one accident every few days. When we strap the harness on he knows it’s potty/walk time. At what age did you start to introduce other activities and training other than just the casual play time. I’d love for him to be able to play frisbee or anything with me. My plan for him is to be my full time companion and do things with me like going to work because we’re outside a lot but also inside a lot and have dog parks all around. I’ve only had him a week but he’s gotten socialized a lot so far. Especially this past holiday weekend he went everywhere with me. Plus I have 3 other dogs and 4 cats and 3 young daughters. I’m just not sure on when to introduce new things to him. I’m forsure going to get him a frisbee to try, forsure getting him some herding balls and some puzzles. What else would he be possibly interested in?
My Aussies favorite job- Dish washer
My coworker had one and literally I can shot a fast ball close to him and he will pick up the ball quick in the air when I say fast I mean fast for a close range it is amazing.
Great vid
I have a bottle of water for my aussie that has a relatively deep flip top lid.. it wasn't designed to use this way, but it holds enough water and i just refill it until shes done.. filled with ice its enough for a few hours at the park.
We got this dog water bottle from Amazon and the great thing about it is you press the button and water could be pour out or track back. It would be perfect for Frankie
I have the same water bottle for my Aussie
Great shots!!! great video!!!! i just got my aussie a week ago and ive been watching you since i made the decision to get one.. thanks for the hard work into the channel. one recommendation, you should do some drone shots. i think it would be cool. watching from california 🙌
Yeah I would love to, but it’s just illegal here haha
What a bummer!!! I feel like i might have heard that before but just thought I’d suggest.
Any recommendations for puppy nipping? My 9 week old keeps trying to bite.
I had an Aussie for 16 years until cancer took her. She knew her jobs well. Her jobs were to bark at the trash men, bring the water bowl at the code word command Wa wa, bring the paper to me and guard my bedroom door.
One of the worst losses of my life when she passed away.
There’s a dispenser cup container that lets your dog drink as much or less as he wants, then the water flows back into container. Sold on Amazon.
can you link it?
My doggo is Aussie Shepherd Catahoula mix. He weighs 100 Lbs and his energy level is off the chart. I backpack and adventure through the wilderness a lot, that's helpful. I throw the Chuckit Ball and that helps. He crushes most balls. I take him to the country side a lot. He behaves, but he packs on a lot if weight if he doesn't exercise.
I love that he’s a crackhead like our Aspen. When she sees a ball nothing else matters
My daughters dog hates the camera, and posing lol! I find this awesome and bizarre at the same time that Frankie loves the camera! 🐕
Love Aussies! We have our third.
