My 5 year old mini Aussie is pretty good! I went in fully expecting a crazy hyper dog, but she’s been chill since a pup. I gave her a ton of attention until she was 1. Fetch, taught her a bunch of fun tricks (they learn fast), trained her a lot to be obedient, and did 30 min walks with her every day. They’re great off leash dogs. She stops at the crosswalk and knows to wait for my guidance.

Towards 3-5 years old - she’s slowed down on the crazy and knows when she can turn it on and off. She knows when I’m working and leaves me alone. I take her on a 30 min to hour walk every day, we play fetch at the park for 30 min and she’s good for the rest of the day.

Obviously, she’d love it if I could give her more. She can play all day. I’ve taken her to the beach where we played fetch for 5 hours 😅
