    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.

    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

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.

      @animalscholar  7 років тому +35

      +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).

      @goaticorn8702 7 років тому +15

      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

  • @louisfrenette3078
    @louisfrenette3078 5 років тому +1

    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

    • @lmauser8490

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
