There’s has been an influx of posts requesting help with aggression and behavior issues. If you need help:
If your pup is from a breeder, start with discussing with them. Your breeder should be your support system.
Book a vet appointment to rule out a medical issue, perhaps something causing pain.
Use the resources on the /r/dogtraining wiki to help identify and select a behaviorist, noting that behaviorist and trainers have different qualifications.
Be cautious about well meaning internet advice. Some well meaning advice can exasperate the issue. Aggression needs pro help.
To avoid aggression issues:
Consider that behavior is often genetic. Buying from a reputable breeder is most likely to stack things in your favor.
Learn how to correctly socialize a puppy. Many ideas about socialization are incorrect and can cause reactivity and aggression issues.
Sign up for training classes with a qualified trainer ASAP, either for a puppy or adopted adult rescue.

Happy 16th to the best boy I know!
Today my boy turns 16 and I don't think I've ever met a better boy 🩶 send us pics of your Aussies to wish him a happy birthday!

My girl turns 11 today!
We’ve always said that, much like the amp in Spinal Tap, this dog goes to 11. Every feeling, every emotion, every ounce of excitement — she feels it all at full volume. Happy? 11. Tired? 11. Sad? Also 11. There is no dial lower than maximum.
Well, today Quinn turns 11 years old. And for the first time in her life, she actually goes to 11. 🤘🎸🐾
Happy birthday to our little rock star, who has never once done anything halfway. ❤️

When it's 90° in October the only responsible thing to do is take the herd to the lake and thanks to the recent hurricane the lake was full!

Appreciation post for my sweet little boy
7 weeks to 6 months I can't believe he is 50 lbs 🥹🥹

Hair mats around hindquarters
He is 3 and I must have neglected regular brushing there (he doesn't like it) and now the mats on his back legs are just out of control. Thick and chunky, and seeming impervious to any comb or detangler (tried cowboy magic). I guess I'll have to cut them out but they seem to go almost to the skin. I just want to make sure I don't mangle his coat back there. Any advice? I'm sure a pro groomer can help but it's very stressful for him and he has to be muzzled.

What kind of brush do you like?
Sure I could use google but this is more fun.
Especially looking for something that’s good around her hind quarters where the fur likes to try and get a little clumpy.

Say hello to our little girl! She wanted to drop in and send some love 🐾🌸
Hey Aussie family!
I’ve been lurking here for a little while and enjoying all the beautiful, smart, and goofy Aussies in this sub. I finally decided it was time to introduce ourselves and join this amazing community!
This is our little girl! 💖 She’s 18 weeks old and absolutely filling our lives with so much joy (and endless energy, of course! 😉).
We’re super happy to be here, learn from your experiences, and share her journey with you all. Looking forward to connecting with fellow Aussie lovers!
Sending lots of love and belly rubs to all your pups! 🐾❤️

Post your Aussies action photos
Here's Cobber, 5, playing fetch. He's quite the athlete.
I got this as a movie on my S26. Captured the picture and saved it.
