"Toto" from the Oz was a Cairn, not an Aussie. We had a Cairn (as well as a Westie) and now have a 3-month-old Aussie. All of these small terrier breeds are terrific companions.
That's a very well trained dog. How long did it take you to teach him those tricks. I have just bought an Aussie. I am picking it up in... lets see about 2 weeks. I'm so excited. And about how long did it take you to potty train toto?
My Australian Terrier has a beautiful and expressive tail and I can't imagine why people dock them. When he wags his tail it is tightly curled over his back; when he's eating or sniffing at something he carries slightly curved like a collie; when he runs he uses it like a rudder straight out in back and curls the tip down as he puts on the brakes. He is always doing something cute and plays with his pack mates but is totally uninterested in toys. To get things going he butts with his nose.
@JewishVegan Dogs LIKE crates. It reminds them of a den. Once at my local veterinary practice a little terrier mix snuck around the back and found a tipped over box which he curled up in. They like a 'den' of their own. The use of a crate in training is to give the dog a place where they can stand, turn around comfortably and lie down but not soil their bedding and have space to cleanly sleep, so they want to eliminate outside.
so cute i started laughing when he said paw and he gave him hispaw like the same time
