- Australian shepherds are highly intelligent dogs, and are very easy to train. Their athletic lifestyle demands proper training, in order to best utilize their high energy drive. If not trained, they could learn some undesired behaviors.
While training an Australian Shepherd, it is very important to be patient and consistent in the training process. Aussies need time to fully comprehend certain behaviors. It may take up to 6 months for an Aussie to learn certain behaviors like potty training. You must always be consistent and patient during the training process.

Thanks!
Thank you so much for this
We got our current Aussie at 10 weeks old (now 2.5 years old). He had been raised as an outside dog. Nevertheless, it only took about 4 accidents of peeing and 4 of pooing before he was house-trained (mind you, we took him outside frequently). A simple disapproving, "No, no, no" (not raising voice), picking him up and taking him outside, and then lots of positive praise (followed by a treat), when he did his business outside, was all it took. To this day, he alerts us as to when he needs to go outside and we praise him upon completion of his job (followed by a treat, of course). Crate training was a breeze...he loved the crate. His crate now is our bedroom (where he has a dog bed or our bed...his choice) Great dog!
Wow thats awsome to hear!
I’m glad that you had very quick success with your puppy, but my daughter’s puppy is the exact opposite.
would be great if the words weren't covering up the the video that gives examples of the body language indications for herding. This was the main reason to watch the video for me and I couldn't see any of it...
I just got an 8wo Aussie and it surprised me that she let me know when she needed to go out. Of course she had a couple accidents the 1st day home because she started whining about halfway home and just thought it was because she realized she wasn't going back to mom. On day 3 she stands infront of the door and whines when she needs to go. I limit her food and water before bed so I don't need to get up in the middle of the night.
Your 8 wk old Ausie doesnt go at night !? Wow u are LUCKY because that is NOT usual for a pup that young. Generally at 2 months they can hold it for 2 -3 hours.... 3 months they can hold it for 3 - 4 houre and so on.
Even without refilling water/food after 8-9 pm...I had to wake up 2 to 3 times a night in middle of night (around 2am and 5am.) to take mine out. 😂 Shes 4 months old now and is FINALLY sleeping thru the night as of about a week ago. Granted i dont go to sleep until around midnight.
Great video.
Thank you for making this video because I am writing an essay and I need tips of how I can contribute and train the AMAZING Australian Shepard.
Our Aussie is about 8 or 9 months. She was a stray my daughter found her at the lake, she was running with het lead hooked to her. We dod lots of checking and turned up no owners. We have been doing good up until this last month, she has been in heat and has become agressive. Any info would be great.
I see some sites saying they can be in the crate most the day with breaks while others say only an hour at a time
All good
Thank you for this information. , getting my new puppy on Nov.1 .
Best of luck!
which breeders in NY do you reccommend?
Amazon has some really good water bottles! I have a 10 year old red-tri mini aussie and as soon as we get in the car she has to have a drink!
👍
same goes for the minis?
So my biggest issue is I don’t want to get her outside yet (she was pulled early/rescue) she’s 4 weeks I have her on pads right now, because I want her to have her first parvo and second worm shot before I start bringing her outside.
The crappy part is its going to be HARD to break that wee wee pad habit. Im going thru it now. I have a 4 yr old ferret that free roams the house. She has 3 spots in the house that have a pad. My Aussie immediately started using them too...1st night home. Shes almost 5 months now and the pudddles are getting much bigger.😂 But teling 1 pet its ok to go there but the other its a no....is not an easy task. 🤷♀️
My husband got an aussie to take on the road in his rig. He takes her out as much as possible to play. She is about 6 months old now and he tried to do her potty training on pads in the truck floor. Now she's home with me for a few weeks and I can't get her to potty outside even if I take a pad with me. Do you have any suggestions or is it to late to potty train her?
Take the pad to the outside place you want her to do it in. And leave it there. Then reward. Eventually you can lose the pad.
i got my baby at 3 months, she’s gonna be 5 months soon and i haven’t taught her any commands, is it too late to teach her basic commands? like will it be harder ? she’s potty trained
It is not late at all. You can easily teach her all basic and advanced commands
@@RizwanKhanDiary okay thank u so much !
I have 2 minis one 2 and the other is 1. They both tear, rip or eat any type of padding I get them. Why?
Named my Aussie whisky
I can't keep my Aussie dog from trying to tearing up our everyday items like our shoes, laundry, couch pillows, etc. We tried to let him sleep in my bedroom, but that was a major fail. When it comes to his commands, he seems to barely listen (only when it involves food rewards). Now that he is a year old, he is starting to get more aggressive like biting or nipping at the hands and feet, barking a lot, etc. I don't know what to do anymore, I don't want to get rid of him because he is super adorable and he is my first pet. I'm just very afraid to take him in public or go on walks with him because I just don't want some "Karen" to call the pound and have him euthanized because he jumped up on them or something like that. If y'all can help me and teach me what to do, that would be great!
Command Issue: Start rewarding the behavior with treats, or kibble. Continue redoing the same command and reward him with a treat when he does so. After a few times, don’t reward the behavior. Ask again and reward, continue to slowly remove the “Treat” from the equation all together.
To stop your dog from jumping on someone while walking him, I would suggest leash training.
Step 1: Walk your dog to the door, make sure your dog stays behind you. This’ll be something new, so it’ll take a WHILE. To keep him from getting in front of you, continue to cut him off. Now, REPEAT that until it clicks that he will not go outside until he walks behind you without an issue.
2. When opening the door, do not allow him to get in front of you. You want to teach him that you’re in charge and you’ll be leading. Whenever he gets in front of you, close the door and repeat step 1.
3. Try in nearby areas first, continue to redirect your dog behind you. Once they step in front of you, stop and make them sit. Show them that the walk will not continue until they’re behind you!
My Aussie has been extremely hard to work with, and it took me a week to get her leash trained. But that worked perfectly, as for the other stuff I haven’t been able to get her together with it. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
I would go through some dog training classes or research how to train your dog. Also allowing you dog to sleep with you is not the best idea.
He will grow out of it. This is the crazy phase and it will pass at about 3 years.
Why would anyone try to stop a herding dog from herding? That's abuse.
We trained our dog to not herd and nip children/people, we instead got her a herding ball. Not abuse, realistically it can he bad behavior that needs to be redirected.
Training a dog to not use their herding instincts is not abuse. The instinct for them is to nip your feet. So it is not abuse to stop a dog from nipping you.
Proper training of a dog is not abuse...to the contrary, it is what is best for any dog. All dogs need a job (or jobs) to do and usually do quite well even if that job is not close to their natural instincts. Our Aussie has two main jobs...take Mommy on brisk, long walks and chase/retrieve Kongs, Frisbees, and balls. He also likes tug toys and herding our Rotty/Chow-chow mix around the yard (until the Rotty gets tired of it and just lies down). We make sure he gets at least 2 hours of "job" time each day (easy to do when you are retired), and that keeps him from engaging in those natural instinct types of behaviors.
i dont see it as abuse but i also was like why stop it? but makes sense he nips at my pants when running and keeps trying to get in front of me ..just needs to be shown when and when not to do that
We have an Aussie now 2 yrs old. When we got him I fenced in a small backyard and put him a dog door in. House breaking him was nothing. He loves the dog door. He stays home by himself why we work and runs free in and out as he pleases. He bothers nothing, was a few episodes when he was younger, he didn't tear things up he carried things outside. He goes when we go besides work, my wifes best buddy and protector. I would never stick a dog in a crate, I think that is cruel. He Is one of us.
Crates are like dens. It is the place they can relax, calm down and not get into trouble. It should never be used as punishment - ever.
