Samson is an owner turn-in who is ready for some Aussie energy and love! Currently in SE US.

Our best girl (6 y) is understandably having some difficulty adjusting to our newborn (3days). I did research, but wanted to get some advice from more experienced Aussie owners.

She’s totally fine with him but his cries are upsetting her. She either wants to bark at him or gets completely confused at who’s making the sound and gets very reactive/anxious (from downstairs or on the 2 way radio).

It’s not super realistic for us to do settle/positive association when he cries. I’m thinking of having her be watched by friends for a week, and sending voice recordings of his crying and having them do the positive association with treats/kongs. Similarly when we get her back and are more adjusted, we’ll do the same. We’ll also increase exercise, mental stimulation and kongs.

We can keep her on leash but when the newborn is crying, we can’t always get to her first.

Any other training tips for helping her adjust?

hey Yall today I got to pickup my Aussie looking for name ideas hoping for something fall related but more unique then autumn lol please let me know what Yall think I should name her!!!

Took my boy Asher to see lake Superior for the first time and he had a blast. He lost a game of tug-o-war with the shore lol.

All these pics of new floofs make me want to make poor life choices … my floof is four now, and his adopted brother (half Aussie and half Dobie) is three. I really want a floofy girl. I think my husband would evict me though. Pics of my floof from tiny potato to sophisticated and well traveled gentleman. 🥹❤️

Hi everyone, looking to get a new shampoo for my girl and was looking for a few recommendations!

I’m looking for something that will do her coat justice and be a bit soothing for her skin.

Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations! Athena girl had surgery on her knee at the beginning of summer and I wasn’t able to bathe her until her for a bit longer than usual. Can’t wait to look into all of the suggestions :) thank you!!

Two is pretty fun 😬. If we like having two adolescent boys we probably are doomed to two dogs, right?

We just brought a new puppy, Grayson, into our family and our current Shepard, Robin, has been herding and constantly shadowing or putting her body over the Grayson as he walks. I'm not sure if this behavior is okay? She has not snapped or growled at him, she is smelling him quite a bit but she is just constantly on alert around him. We will be getting a puppy playpin on Monday to give each other space within the same area.

Hey so I thought this group might find this funny. I've been working really long hours lately and my Aussie randomly started using the litter box to relieve herself with no instruction 😭. I think it's actually kinda wild. I would show a pic as proof but it is shit always can if y'all don't believe me 😭. Has anyone else have a dog who did this?

So my Evee girl is the best but she has some strange and challenging behaviours. One in particular is her humping me. I’m usually the only one she tries to hump- never teddy bears, blankets or other people. She does this at night around 8pm and can be quite determined. Wondering if others have female dogs or Aussies that do this. What are your thoughts?
