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.
Shivani Patel I have an Aussie and my dog moose is very loyal and sweet but it did take a lot of time and effort to make him have all his tricks and social so you have to take the time and watch her videos or go to doggie classes for other information or training
Yes wonderful dogs but not for those who don't have time to spend training and exercising. They are very smart and loving but also much high energy. They have to exercise or be so hyper you will both go crazy.
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.
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
+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).
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
I have a 14 mo old Aussie male that I didn’t know how to take care of.. thank god I came across your RUclips channel because I finally feel like I could grasp grooming and training him better
I love how good you are with her! Your calm approach probably helps her comfort level tremendously!!! Thanks so much for your very informative & detailed video!!
One of the best vids on aussie grooming I’ve seen!!! My Aussie gets so nervous when going to the groomer, that I’ve decided to just start grooming at home!! Thank you for this video!!!!!! 🐶 ❤️
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
Great job with the video! I have such a soft spot for Aussies, and Aspen seems so sweet with you. My 2 really need clipped and I was checking out a few how to’s and ran across yours. Glad I did!!
I loveeee this video. Since I got my Aussie I’ve tried to groom her at home the best I can to minimize groomer appointments. This helps so much, I need to get the electric razor but I’ve been to nervous, good to know I won’t cut her! Super educational and amazing help for what I need to do. Updated attempt happening soon. Wish me luck
Thank you so much for this! We have a 9 month old Red Tri Mini and she is just starting to get "fluffy". Wanted to find a practical way to keep her in best shape and hygienic without a huge hassle or taking away from the Aussie look. I learned a ton! Acadia and I thank you! (Love the name Aspen!)
Oh my God! Thank you so much! I have an Aussie and she is so nervous of going to the Vet, yet she enjoys very much when I brush her, so probably and hopefully she lets me do this on her... I will practice and update you! Thank you! Just subscribed!
Wow she looks so neat and tidy! I never know what to do with my Aussie’s backside but the rounded look is awesome! Off to go attempt it now on my crazy wigglebutt!
Thank you, your videos are really helpful and I appreciate it. I love how casual it feels, like talking with a friend instead of a text to speech video. I'm adopting an Aussie puppy soon!
I really felt at ease learning from you. I’m going to do this but my little girls hair is excessively long imo. I feel like I should take her in to get her looking good so I know what to go off of. 10/10 content
This video is amazing! I want to start grooming my Aussie more at home because her fur grows so quickly and sometimes it's a pain to get an appointment with my groomer. 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. My Pippa will be 3 this June and we are planning on getting another Aussie this year for her to have a friend!
Aspen is such an amazing and good girll!! I love watching you two together so much, I know how much you love her! You've trained her so well! You take the best care of her! So committed! Hugs and kisses to you both lol!!!!
She’s so precious, I have a tri red with blue eyes, I’m definitely going to try this so thanks so much for the info, Aspen sat so good during the whole groom, I can’t picture koda doing that well but we’ll see🤗
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
your vids have been the most helpful I've been able to find! I have an Aussie (with a tail) and his hair has just gotten longer, thicker, and more difficult to groom every year. He's the first long-haired dog i've ever had. I had no idea how to use the clippers, scissors or even which brushes to use. Thanks so much!!
Your videos are so helpful! I'm adopting my first australian shepherd (1 year old) in a few days and I have lots of great habits to start immediately with her!
excellent how to! very informative. You make it seem so easy and almost fun. Most I did for my Aussies was bathe and brush them. Trimming I left up to the professionals.
YT recommended this to me. Highly recommend you look into using an undercoat rake instead of a furminator. Furminators mostly cut the guard hairs and pull a little of the dead undercoat out on a dog with hair as long as an aussie. I have one and mostly use it on my short haired mutt girl, for my aussie I use it on the elbows (very short hair) only. An undercoat rake will change your life and get so much more hair out safely!
I prefer the furminator to undercoat rakes, and find that it produces a very good result if used properly. Cutting guard hairs occurs when people really are not using it correctly (applying too much pressure, running it through too quickly, etc). Maybe if someone is not professionally trained, a rake would be best. I find that it takes way longer and many more passes than the furminator to remove the same amount of undercoat.
Wow. She kept looking at the camera as if to ask for help from your obsessive clipping and cleaning. My boy puts up with a lot when we groom (treats at the ready) but I would never expect this level of patience from him. I’m glad you girls work so well together.
Aspen is beautiful 😍 I have a blue merle aussie. He's my first aussie and was given to me by my daughter. Best dog I've ever had! Literally never leaves my side lol
I know my little girl wouldn't be that good 😂 She's a mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix that I rescued and I've only had her for 5 weeks. She isn't as fluffy with her fur but she has the tufts of hair on her ears, legs and behind. She actually looks more like a mini border collie ❤️ whatever I love her to pieces ❣️
Can Aspen please text my Shiloh and tell her to stand as still as she does, so our grooming will go quicker? lol! The looks Aspen gives you are priceless. She’s a beautiful, well behaved girl!
Thank you for your video! I groomed our Miniature Schnauzer each time he needed grooming, so it was easy to understand what you were doing with your Aspen. Beautiful dog! 😁
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
What is the length on your grooming table? I've been looking at purchasing one for my miniature aussie for when he gets bigger. He's 3 1/2 months now; and just wondered. It would make things easier on my back to have him at my height. Yours looked a good size.
She is so beautiful and calm! I am getting a sweet mini Aussie in less than a month and your videos have been so helpful! Is Aspen a standard sized Aussie? About how big is she and how much does she weigh? I'm not sure what size things to buy for a mini.
+jordanna Siglow Yes, she is standard size. She is about 24 Kg and stands 21 inches at the shoulders (so shes on the larger size for a female). Your mini should be quite a bit smaller than her.
Minis are 20-35 pounds. If you don’t want it to shed and you want it to be small but not toy sized, you can get an Aussiedoodle. There are also toy sized Australian shepherd. Also, do your own research, I hoe this helped ☺️
Great video. I have two Aussies and Aspen looks my male, Boomer. But he doesn't have blue eyes. I have him and his sister, Punkin and they shed so much! I needed to see how to groom them. Thank you!
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. What a pretty girl she is and I love her name!
How did you train your aussie to be so calm when grooming? Did you use treats or toys during the puppy stage, and how did you manage jerking from the trimmers/razor etc!
How often do you groom Aspen, she is a gorgeous dog by the way!!! My dream dog is a red tri miniature Australian Shepherd so these videos are helping me to understand the responsibilities that come with having an Aussie Shepherd so thank you for making and sharing them!
Your video’s are truly fantastic. Aspen’s coat is gorgeous. I’m curious how does one determine at a pups age how well their coat will turn out? The quality of Aspen’s coat seems to not be the standard at least from the Shepherd’s I’ve seen. Is this due to diligent and passionate grooming? She’s beautiful and majestic!
Thank you so much for this fantastic video!!!! I was because of your video that I became a better Aussie Mama. How often do you groom your dog like this?
Thank you! I am a dog groomer, I went to school, but I’ve only been on my own about two or three months. The Australian Shepherd is one. We did not do a lot in school so I question it a lot when I am out in the field. Am I not supposed to cut anything upfront at all or on the back?
This may be a stupid question but I was just wondering. With the razor would it hurt her if you touched her skin? If the answer is no then could someone give me a link to that one. And if the answer is yes then is there one that wouldn't hurt if it touched the skin. I'd rather be safe then sorry!
Idk if this is for every dog but my dogs ear curves so you can stick cleaning things down there as long as you don’t curve and she’ll be fine but idk if true for all breeds
I hope that you get back to me. When you were sticking the trimmer in between her pads it was making me so nervous. Do you have lots of practice at it? Is there any guard on your trimmers? I cut myself with trimmers all the time 😅
Hi! So first of all your dog is absolutely beautiful & so well trained! & second I am going to groom my dog myself for the first time because I took her to 2 groomers & her bootie ended up bald even though I showed them the picture of Aspen's behind after you were done shaving it. If you have any tips on how to hold my dog while I do it that would be great because she's a wiggeler! Thank you!!
I kept laughing at the looks on Aspens face. Aussies are amazing dogs I love mine.
Allen Rodgers what it's name my Aussie is named Colt
Agreed
Was it easy to potty train 😊
Mine is Paisley
Mine is Laya 😊
She is so beautiful! I have a border collie so I have a soft spot for herding dogs. There's just an aura and grace to them!
Trixiel I agree I have a border collie Aussie mix they always try to great people and are pretty easy to train
I’m in love with border collies and Siberian huskies! They are both simply amazing
The dog when she was cleaning the ears 😑 when she was brushing her🤤
No
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.
Aspen is such a gorgeous dog! I love her eyes😍 and her name suits her well! I really want a Australian Sheperd!
Shivani Patel I have an Aussie and my dog moose is very loyal and sweet but it did take a lot of time and effort to make him have all his tricks and social so you have to take the time and watch her videos or go to doggie classes for other information or training
Shivani Patel I want one too
Yes wonderful dogs but not for those who don't have time to spend training and exercising. They are very smart and loving but also much high energy. They have to exercise or be so hyper you will both go crazy.
Shivani Patel same
I’m so happy cause I’m getting one in 3 weeks but I’m getting a border collie Australian shepherd mix so I’m so happy yay
Everytime she says, "that's an good girl."
I go, "yes she is," in that baby talk voice. Haha. Love Aussies.

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.
We all miss our Aussies. I am 78 and just cannot stand parting with another Aussie. He was the best dog ever.
Thankyou for your comment. The love u had for them is so sweet.
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
She's so calm! Is that because she is used to it by now? Our 4 month old Aussie mix will barely sit still for us to groom her!
+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).
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.

I have a 14 mo old Aussie male that I didn’t know how to take care of.. thank god I came across your RUclips channel because I finally feel like I could grasp grooming and training him better
I love Aussies!! They're so loyal and loving.
countrycowgxrl i am getting one to😊
countrycowgxrl yeah they are very loyal and smart. My Aussie is named Colt
I love how good you are with her! Your calm approach probably helps her comfort level tremendously!!! Thanks so much for your very informative & detailed video!!
Thanks so much for little tip about pushing the fur up between the "toes". This has made Kody stop knawling on his feet.
At the end of the video comment on the tools that you use and where to acquire them. That would be extremely helpful. Thank you!

But dogs are pack animals. We've always had two Aussies. Some are more loving with each other, but they like having a pal.
I watched this before grooming my Aussie, Hudson! Great advice, thank you for taking the time to make this video! Extremely helpful!
Great job with the video! I have such a soft spot for Aussies, and Aspen seems so sweet with you. My 2 really need clipped and I was checking out a few how to’s and ran across yours. Glad I did!!

Thank you so much for this! We have a 9 month old Red Tri Mini and she is just starting to get "fluffy". Wanted to find a practical way to keep her in best shape and hygienic without a huge hassle or taking away from the Aussie look. I learned a ton! Acadia and I thank you! (Love the name Aspen!)

Had an Aussie. The best. Aspen looks a lot like Rodeo -a blank tri. Love him so.
Wow she looks so neat and tidy! I never know what to do with my Aussie’s backside but the rounded look is awesome! Off to go attempt it now on my crazy wigglebutt!
Thank you, your videos are really helpful and I appreciate it. I love how casual it feels, like talking with a friend instead of a text to speech video. I'm adopting an Aussie puppy soon!

So helpful!! Looking forward to saving the ~$70/mth on getting my aussie trimmed up! Thank you for posting!!
We're getting an Australian Shepard and I'm so excited your videos really help me! And.. She's such a good girl!😄
I’ve been working in a grooming salon for a little over a year now and she is so well behaved! Such an amazing dog 💕
Oh my goodness, Your dog is Amazing!
I know she got treats for that patience she had with the camera guy. Lol
Me: watching this video and looks over at my cat
just did that LOL
Enjoying your videos! Looking add to our family in the spring!
Soon I'm getting a Aussie and you helped me learn so much by watching two videos
When the video speeds up as you go in for the belly area I was so scared lol
SAME
I thought she stabbed her dog with the razor-

You did an amazing job and you're so good at grooming. I don't know what your regular job is but, you are an amazing groomer.
I love her face expression. She loves it!
My family and I are about to get an Aussie puppy that looks almost identical to hers! I’m so exited! I hope everything goes well! Wish me luck!
What is the length on your grooming table? I've been looking at purchasing one for my miniature aussie for when he gets bigger. He's 3 1/2 months now; and just wondered. It would make things easier on my back to have him at my height. Yours looked a good size.
She is so beautiful and calm! I am getting a sweet mini Aussie in less than a month and your videos have been so helpful! Is Aspen a standard sized Aussie? About how big is she and how much does she weigh? I'm not sure what size things to buy for a mini.
+jordanna Siglow Yes, she is standard size. She is about 24 Kg and stands 21 inches at the shoulders (so shes on the larger size for a female). Your mini should be quite a bit smaller than her.
Minis are 20-35 pounds. If you don’t want it to shed and you want it to be small but not toy sized, you can get an Aussiedoodle. There are also toy sized Australian shepherd. Also, do your own research, I hoe this helped ☺️
Aspen is sooo cute and calm
Thank you so much for the easy step by step-great job
Oh Aspen, what a good girl and beautiful too!
Thank you for this! I got my Australian shepherd puppy in July and your videos have been helpful and fun to watch! Love Aussies!
Thanks so much for this! Super helpful. Could you please link the tools that you use?
When you are trimming Aspen's rear legs, what blade cover do you use on the trimmer? You do such a good job!!
I have an Aussie I love him so much
Great video. I have two Aussies and Aspen looks my male, Boomer. But he doesn't have blue eyes. I have him and his sister, Punkin and they shed so much! I needed to see how to groom them. Thank you!
She looks like our good boy Kuzko! I just paid $120 for the mobile groomer a month ago! Time to learn to home groom!
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.
What a pretty girl she is and I love her name!
this was really helpful for me i have a mini aussie and have just start grooming for a business
dang her eyes are speaking to my soul
She is so adorable and this is a really informative video. Thank you for sharing.
Can you give diet tips for all types of aussies
Aspen is a lot more chilled than my aussie!!!
Thank you; my Aussie Sheperd is a try colour with two blue eyes which is quite unusual
Thank you so much!! I have an Aussie mix and we live in Georgia so it gets really hot. I need to trim her and now I know how!
How did you train your aussie to be so calm when grooming? Did you use treats or toys during the puppy stage, and how did you manage jerking from the trimmers/razor etc!
You behave with your Aussie as I do. I just cannot resist kissing the top of his nose.
How often do you groom Aspen, she is a gorgeous dog by the way!!!
My dream dog is a red tri miniature Australian Shepherd so these videos are helping me to understand the responsibilities that come with having an Aussie Shepherd so thank you for making and sharing them!
Your video’s are truly fantastic. Aspen’s coat is gorgeous. I’m curious how does one determine at a pups age how well their coat will turn out? The quality of Aspen’s coat seems to not be the standard at least from the Shepherd’s I’ve seen. Is this due to diligent and passionate grooming? She’s beautiful and majestic!
What a beautiful Aussie!!
Aspen is a doll. My B&W Aussie's name is Robyn. Good demo! 🙂🙃😉😊🐶
I have 2 Aussies but mine have fluffy tails. Are some Aussies breeds born without tails? Aspen is a lucky girl!
Thanks this worked very well with my Aussie Elliee she looks great!!!
Love your videos. Aspen is super cute. Can you also give info on where to find the tools you are using? That would be helpful. Thanks
Wow! She IS a good girl! And Beautiful! Great Job. Thank you
Thank you so much for this fantastic video!!!! I was because of your video that I became a better Aussie Mama. How often do you groom your dog like this?
I love her! she looks like my boy Dakota, he is also a tricolor but he has Amber eyes :)
Here Come Dat Boi mine does, too! I have a mini tricolor Aussie ☺️

Thank you! I am a dog groomer, I went to school, but I’ve only been on my own about two or three months. The Australian Shepherd is one. We did not do a lot in school so I question it a lot when I am out in the field.
Am I not supposed to cut anything upfront at all or on the back?
This may be a stupid question but I was just wondering. With the razor would it hurt her if you touched her skin? If the answer is no then could someone give me a link to that one. And if the answer is yes then is there one that wouldn't hurt if it touched the skin. I'd rather be safe then sorry!
Super helpful! Do you ever trim the hair around the face/ears?
Awww! What a cute dog! I'm gonna get an Aussie around Feb. How old is Aspen?
+AwesomePuppy22 She is almost 2 years old.
Idk if this is for every dog but my dogs ear curves so you can stick cleaning things down there as long as you don’t curve and she’ll be fine but idk if true for all breeds
I hope that you get back to me. When you were sticking the trimmer in between her pads it was making me so nervous. Do you have lots of practice at it? Is there any guard on your trimmers? I cut myself with trimmers all the time 😅
Hi! So first of all your dog is absolutely beautiful & so well trained! & second I am going to groom my dog myself for the first time because I took her to 2 groomers & her bootie ended up bald even though I showed them the picture of Aspen's behind after you were done shaving it. If you have any tips on how to hold my dog while I do it that would be great because she's a wiggeler! Thank you!!
