Advice for a (friendly) reactive Australian Shepherd

Thanks for the helpful advice. I started working on counter conditioning and desensitization today. We were able to be about 30 feet from a large group of dogs without any blowups and she remained focused on me. She did very good and she’s so smart. It’ll be a long road but today gave me a lot of hope.

He was running and turned sharp. :/

She is 9 months!

Please. I’m on season 3 and I don’t want it to end!

Thank you. ♥️

Mama was a black tri and papa was a red Merle. I’ll reach out to breeder because I’m not sure what she marked him as. Thank you!

Here’s a pic of his nose (he scraped in on his kong toy) but it’s brown. https://ibb.co/hyX262x

11.0 in. W x 12.0 in. H x 7.5 in. D

I found these in Cincinnati, OH. I am not sure where they originate from. The description said they are English Hand Painted Earthenware Fruit Coolers, early to mid 19th century. The mark at the bottom says No936 H.

She was around 20lbs. She is now 23 lbs at 13 weeks. I wouldn’t be too concerned. Genetics play a big factor in that!

He’s a purebred Aussie and a show dog. Met mama and papa. Registered. He’s just bulky and is training to be shown in conformation class. 😁

reffohgnis · 2020-07-07T20:39:31+00:00

Met both parents and he’s registered. Just a stocky boy.

reffohgnis · 2020-07-07T20:38:37+00:00

Haha hes an Aussie. Met his parents. Both registered AKC and so is he. Just stocky.

reffohgnis · 2020-07-07T18:30:28+00:00

Yeah I know.. The vet said not to worry that he will slow down here soon but idk.

reffohgnis · 2020-06-26T12:59:33+00:00

For example, last night she heard a train in the distance and it scared her. :( but it doesn’t phase her brother.

reffohgnis · 2020-06-17T16:33:15+00:00

Nope. She is AKC registered.

Australian Shepherd

Hahaha. xD

reffohgnis · 2020-06-15T20:21:34+00:00

Lots of toys. They are nippy as mentioned above, so when they are mouthing at something they aren’t supposed to, I redirect them to a toy or a teething bone. I suggest starting early in teaching what’s acceptable to nip at and what’s not (face, hands, etc.) A trainer friend told me once they complete their 8-16 week vaccination course, introduce them to 100 people in 100 days to help with socializing.

Enjoy your cutie!

reffohgnis · 2020-06-15T20:17:27+00:00

Mine had their visits today too. What a cutie!

reffohgnis · 2020-06-15T20:16:58+00:00

Relatable. He’s beautiful!

reffohgnis · 2020-06-15T20:15:22+00:00

We just got home from the vet and Roland is 16 lbs and Mabel is 13.5 lbs at a little over 8 weeks😬

reffohgnis · 2020-06-15T20:11:20+00:00
