Personality
Aussies are intelligent animals, hardworking and has an innate herding and guarding instincts. They are easily trained and perform tasks with enthusiasm. You will not likely find them in one corner just sitting around for a long time. Aussies can be a good guard dog since they are attentive and aggressive. The animated quality of this animal makes them popular to kids. Though friendly and affectionate with their human family they are usually cautious around strangers. Constant activities will keep Aussies happy. Make sure to schedule plenty of walks, play and training to keep both their mind and body in tip top shape.
Training
The great qualities that make these animals so endearing can also be damaging if they are not properly trained since this could result to undesirable behavior like nipping, chewing and digging. Obedience training for Australian Shepherds is highly recommended since they are quick learners and this will make them realize what are expected of them early on. One way of developing their social skills is to expose them to a variety of people and other animals for them to learn how to discern between a friend and a foe. Since they are able to form a strong bond with their masters, they suffer from separation anxiety when left alone for a long period of time. Poorly socialized Aussies may become aggressive if not properly trained.

With proper care and training of Australian Shepherds, a life with them will be enjoyable and rewarding.
