Shivani Patel I have an Aussie and my dog moose is very loyal and sweet but it did take a lot of time and effort to make him have all his tricks and social so you have to take the time and watch her videos or go to doggie classes for other information or training
Yes wonderful dogs but not for those who don't have time to spend training and exercising. They are very smart and loving but also much high energy. They have to exercise or be so hyper you will both go crazy.
+Harry Giovan Yes, she definitely wasn't this calm as a puppy. It took her a while before she calmed down during grooming. The table really helps during the puppy stage (as they can't move around as much).
My Aussie was only calm for bathing as a puppy if I bribed her with treats/toys/etc.haha. But she chilled out around 8months or so with the bathing and now hops right into the tub. Just keep working with your flufferbutt with patience and setting her mindset to "calm" and "enjoyable" for bath time and it'll get there. xD
We actually bought the furminator and slicker brush after viewing this and it made a great difference. Bandit tolerated the process better. His coat was great after one session. Can’t wait to see how consistent grooming will benefit his coat. Really learned a lot from this. It was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Aspen is such an amazing and good girll!! I love watching you two together so much, I know how much you love her! You've trained her so well! You take the best care of her! So committed! Hugs and kisses to you both lol!!!!
Oh my God! Thank you so much! I have an Aussie and she is so nervous of going to the Vet, yet she enjoys very much when I brush her, so probably and hopefully she lets me do this on her... I will practice and update you! Thank you! Just subscribed!
Your videos are so helpful! I'm adopting my first australian shepherd (1 year old) in a few days and I have lots of great habits to start immediately with her!
This video is amazing! I want to start grooming my Aussie more at home because her fur grows so quickly and sometimes it's a pain to get an appointment with my groomer. You make it look so easy, I hope that with your instructions I will be able to do as good a job, especially on the feet and back end. Aspen is a beautiful dog. My Pippa will be 3 this June and we are planning on getting another Aussie this year for her to have a friend!
Thank you, your videos are really helpful and I appreciate it. I love how casual it feels, like talking with a friend instead of a text to speech video. I'm adopting an Aussie puppy soon!
Thank you so much for this! We have a 9 month old Red Tri Mini and she is just starting to get "fluffy". Wanted to find a practical way to keep her in best shape and hygienic without a huge hassle or taking away from the Aussie look. I learned a ton! Acadia and I thank you! (Love the name Aspen!)
Aussies are amazing ! Mine would fall asleep during the comb out.. Loved the water and was so calm. Would actually jump in the tub on command. They are VERY smart and this one is so adorable. Ya cant help but fall in love with them. You can teach them a lot with a little time and patience. They love to have a job to to do ! Thanks for sharing
I loveeee this video. Since I got my Aussie I’ve tried to groom her at home the best I can to minimize groomer appointments. This helps so much, I need to get the electric razor but I’ve been to nervous, good to know I won’t cut her! Super educational and amazing help for what I need to do. Updated attempt happening soon. Wish me luck
Wow she looks so neat and tidy! I never know what to do with my Aussie’s backside but the rounded look is awesome! Off to go attempt it now on my crazy wigglebutt!
your vids have been the most helpful I've been able to find! I have an Aussie (with a tail) and his hair has just gotten longer, thicker, and more difficult to groom every year. He's the first long-haired dog i've ever had. I had no idea how to use the clippers, scissors or even which brushes to use. Thanks so much!!
Aspen is beautiful 😍 I have a blue merle aussie. He's my first aussie and was given to me by my daughter. Best dog I've ever had! Literally never leaves my side lol
One of the best vids on aussie grooming I’ve seen!!! My Aussie gets so nervous when going to the groomer, that I’ve decided to just start grooming at home!! Thank you for this video!!!!!! 🐶 ❤️
I love how good you are with her! Your calm approach probably helps her comfort level tremendously!!! Thanks so much for your very informative & detailed video!!
excellent how to! very informative. You make it seem so easy and almost fun. Most I did for my Aussies was bathe and brush them. Trimming I left up to the professionals.
Thank you for your video! I groomed our Miniature Schnauzer each time he needed grooming, so it was easy to understand what you were doing with your Aspen. Beautiful dog! 😁
I have a 14 mo old Aussie male that I didn’t know how to take care of.. thank god I came across your RU-vid channel because I finally feel like I could grasp grooming and training him better
I really felt at ease learning from you. I’m going to do this but my little girls hair is excessively long imo. I feel like I should take her in to get her looking good so I know what to go off of. 10/10 content
I’ve been watching a few of these videos cause I have a mini Australian Shephard. I think her video is the best so far I’ve seen in the past year I’ve been looking at. I think she did a fantastic job and I think her voice is just fine and people that are leaving any negative comments they just don’t know what it is to own and Aussie. Just hope that they never get one. The poor Aussie won’t be taken care of right. I love you and I love your video. Keep going. Ignore all the negative comments you did a fantastic job. I watch this over and over again. Good luck to you dear. I have a mini tri. And I learned a lot from this video. I can’t believe you’re trying to help people and they have to leave. Sucnegative comments I think that’s terrible like to just wipe them right off the slate. And I don’t know who you are but I commend you I love your work. I cannot afford to go to a groomer I’m 74 years old live by myself on a fixed budget. Good 5:20 thank you because this video is going to help my dog. I often wondered why she would sometimes bite between her paw. Now I know how to take care of that. ❤ 4
Great video. I have two Aussies and Aspen looks my male, Boomer. But he doesn't have blue eyes. I have him and his sister, Punkin and they shed so much! I needed to see how to groom them. Thank you!
If things go well, I may be getting a mini in about 2 months, with a chance of it being a show dog. Of course, if it turns out to be a show dog, I'll be grooming it with some adjustments (I think for showing you only use scissors on them), but regardless, I find this helpful for so many tips! Eventually I would just be reverting to a regular, more pet style anyway (probably with a razor to speed things up) when I switch to primarily doing obedience/agility/rally, etc. What a pretty girl she is and I love her name!
Love the information on your Ausie knowledge. My Personal experience... I chose my Aussie based on the one and only Aussie I've ever known. She was a 'watcher' ... not a herder herder personality. Thinking all Aussies were quiet, I found a quality breeder and brought home a 10 week old female. They warned us it will take 4-5 years before we see a great dog. Baby puppy cuteness deafened the warnings. We also wanted the baby Aussie to bond with our Male Yorkie. What a mistake that was! The two dogs tolerate each other but the once confident Yorkie could probably benefit with some longer term talk therapy! The Aussie just turned 4 yrs this week and I noticed significant calming at 3 yrs 10 months. She still has the skiddish behaviour, constantly wanting to herd, hates small white dogs, great levels of energy, plays hard for attention, but lately she has become more physically affectionate, loves car rides, plays well with same size or larger dogs, wanting to be combed before bed. You're bang on when you say an Aussie is a tough love at age 2 but she is no longer a pet... shes a family member. I would certainly recommend this breed as a single home canine... not to partner up with another 'family pet'. They're so demanding... and equally so loving
How often do you groom Aspen, she is a gorgeous dog by the way!!! My dream dog is a red tri miniature Australian Shepherd so these videos are helping me to understand the responsibilities that come with having an Aussie Shepherd so thank you for making and sharing them!
Hi! I watch your videos and I really enjoy them and they are very educational so thank you for that! You’ve really persuaded me into getting an Aussie which I am supposed to be getting in about a month and I was watching this video and I was wondering are all of these grooming techniques required when having an Aussie? Because I need to know if I need to get these supplies before getting mine! Anyway thank you I really enjoy your videos!!
How did you train your aussie to be so calm when grooming? Did you use treats or toys during the puppy stage, and how did you manage jerking from the trimmers/razor etc!
What is the length on your grooming table? I've been looking at purchasing one for my miniature aussie for when he gets bigger. He's 3 1/2 months now; and just wondered. It would make things easier on my back to have him at my height. Yours looked a good size.
Thank you so much for this fantastic video!!!! I was because of your video that I became a better Aussie Mama. How often do you groom your dog like this?
I've owned 3 Aussies that I raised from puppy to adulthood. While listening to your video on the worst points about Aussie, I felt like I was listening about another breed. I'm not saying you didn't experience those things with Aspen, I'm just saying I don't think think those traits are typical. My Aussies were all different in personality. My male dog was so layed back that he would start to slide off the couch while sleeping and wouldn't bother to catch himself. He'd hit the floor and continue skeeping without waking up. My female was so quick to train. She was potty trained by 12 weeks. I've never had a smarter more devoted dog in my life. Her attitude was, 'What can I do for you today?' None of my dogs were very vocal. They didn't even vocalize when they wanted out to potty. They just stood at the door till I noticed them. None of them chewed things up. I owned a wilderness supply business at the time, and took them to work with me every day. They saw multiple people every day and had no problems wih them. They loved the UPS man. They loved anybody that would talk to them. My male liked to lay on the mat by the front door, so customers had to step over him to get in. Nobody had a problem with that and neither did he. I never did get him entirely broke of that. About the only thing I agreed with was the life span and hair shedding, but I will clean up hair anytime to have that incredible Aussie personality. My doggies have passed on and I miss them so much.
Hi! So first of all your dog is absolutely beautiful & so well trained! & second I am going to groom my dog myself for the first time because I took her to 2 groomers & her bootie ended up bald even though I showed them the picture of Aspen's behind after you were done shaving it. If you have any tips on how to hold my dog while I do it that would be great because she's a wiggeler! Thank you!!
You’re very gentle with brushing but some people aren’t. It’s important to mention that it’s better to have a brush that doesn’t have sharp end, but rather those plastic balls at the end so it’s more pleasant for dogs. Some dogs don’t like brushing because they had a painful experience at some point. Also thank you for the video, it’s great! Xxx
