All About Training Australian Shepherd Dogs and Puppies
A very quick and intelligent dog, the Australian Shepherd is sometimes seen as a bit of a challange to train. While the combination of their intelligence, happy-go-lucky personality, and athletic ability makes them perfect dogs for agility training, getting these independent thinkers to work with you takes patience and a gentle hand. The Australian Shepherd will also react in a very stubborn or shy manner to any who apply a heavy hand or stern voice. Persistence and a whole lot of patience are the best techniques to bring to these training sessions. Be patient and try to remember that he doesn't mean to be impudent, but he's used to tending sheep, not rolling over and playing dead.
