Training a mini australian shepherd

[Whatatay]

What is with the TV blasting in the background?

all minis and toys are very active and need lots of exercise. if mine goes a day without playing ball he will go nuts haha. we use a laser light for him to chase on days we are busy. minis and toys are not breed with chihuahuas.. are any other small dogs.. the minis were bred from small standards and the toys were bred from small minis. they are all aussie just smaller. and yes shes backing away because she is focused. thats in the breed. my mini is just as active as a standard, not more.

so cute i love it i wish i had her

[puggychu]

I wonder if there is a cross of chihuahua in the toy/mini aussies to get them down to smaller size from the standard size. I can see some of the chihuahua features in these toy/mini aussies.

They are still very cute though.

to drunkenmonkeeey... miniature australian shepherds are very focused dogs i have one and he is so obsessed with frisbee that when your playing with him he doesn't want to be touched or distracted and he backs up when try to touch him... its just how they are..

this is a mini? she looks like a toy....

[1Kitcat1]

shes probabley still really small. my mini aussie is a bit bigger thaan that and its 5 months and its not a toy. It will probably grow in the next 2 moths. BURN!

A command is only given once, then you make the dog do it. Other wise when you tell it to do something you will have to keep repeating yourself then too. And most people only want to tell their dog to do something once and they do it.

[drunkenmonkeeey]

I wonder why the dog backs up when she tryes to touch it.........

[miiasm]

först skriker hon "drop it, drop it". Sen skrattar hon när hunden gör fel!? vafan...

[mickeochsabine]

In the beginning when yo tell here down..and she finally does it,maybe you should tell her she did gooood?And maybe don't scream so much,dog s has very good hearing.And they usually respond better to pople not screaming so much.

[booden86]

is there a big difference in activityy level of a mini and toy...how old is she in this vid?

[sneakyfe]

She was 8 months old when I made the video. And she's a very hyper dog.

[iplehguitar]

i think minis are more hyper than australian shepherds, since they're smaller and toy breeds have more bouncy energy than herding breeds, who have more endurance energy.

[sneakyfe]

yes, she's a toy aussie.

[thericketandoo]

isn't that a toy aussie?
