@@DragonMan45100 lol. I get it. Our mini aussiedoodle is 3. He is a great dog when is evil half is asleep but he is stuck with us as well. Only for the simple fact he would drive other people insane and he would end up in a shelter. He doesn't deserve that as much as might wish it.
Great video. We used fetching as a way to help our Aussie Doodle puppy burn up energy. During an exercise session, the ball fell short and Auggie put on his brakes and broke his leg, which led to surgery so his growth plate would not be affected and to avoid potential amputation. Needless to say, this was an expensive lesson ($ 6,000). We had not read that fetching was too aggressive for a puppy. We have had over 10 fur babies in 40 years and always tried to provide the appropriate care for each different breed. Brain puzzles/toys were also incorporated. I hope this can help others. 😊
Sorry to hear about Jaxon's hip displacia! How did you find out that he had it? Also - what are you doing to stop him from pulling the leash? My aussiedoodle Maxey is 10 months old and still pulls a decent amount, especially when he has to poop
Thank you! And great questions. Around 9 months he started limping on 3 legs, not putting pressure on one of his hind legs. I then took him to the vet and was diagnosed. As far as the leashing pulling, one thing that helped was consistent rewarding with treats when he followed by myself and didn’t pull! We practiced him walking by my side and him looking up at me. Every time he did it, I rewarded him with praise and a treat.
Oh a lifesaver! I got my aussiedoodle a few months ago, but im still working with him. Hes 10 months old and a bundle og energy. I def learned the matting thing the hard way- i couldnt get his brush for a while because i was in college at the time, and the cost of buying him and his other essentials was more than i realized, so he got matted quickly. I dont trust most groomers (had a dog die cause of the groomers) so when i finally got one my famiky trusted, we werent able to schedule him.until may (we scheduled it in february!) So i feel luje a bad parent of mh first doggo :( Do you got any tips on keeping him stimulated? Thats my biggest issue, especially since im basically broke. I play with him using fetch and a laser pointer, but im not sure what other things to do
You’re doing your best and that’s all that matters! Great thing about dogs is that they will unconditionally love you :) As far as his energy, taking my dog Jaxon to the dog park for even just 10 minutes really helped! So many dogs and smells that come with it that it helps stimulates him
@@JaxontheAussiedoodle Thanks. I ask as I'm in the same boat as you would have been in, with a young aussiedoodle who has tons of energy, and it's a difficult line to walk because you *do* have to exercise the dog to some point, but there are risks involved. You do get quite attached to your dog so seeing your dog go through this must be hard.
I’m watching my friends Aussie doodle while he’s away doing door to door summer sales, and the dog is so insanely submissive and always looks like he’s seen a ghost. Cowering body language and low tail wags. Any tips on connecting with him better?
That’s awesome! I would say positive tones when talking to him (like you’re talking to a baby) and also giving him his favorite treats. Soon enough, he’ll associate treats/a good time with you.
If you feed him kibble his arthritis will get worse...feed him beef, eggs and a little starch like rice or potatoes. Train him with a collar and get rid of the harness...those are for sleigh dogs to pull a sleigh. The myth is it damages their throats if you use a collar and that's true if you pull while he pulls. Instead a simple correction using a slight tug works...tons of videos on this on You tube. Finally dogs don't run marathons. Instead calm walks and training 30-60 minutes a day is enough exercise.
How’d you know i needed this video? Picking up my mini aussiedoodle this wednesday! 🎉
Ahh congrats!! 🎉
We have a mini Aussiedoodle, they’re amazing companions and a lot of fun 😊
Do you still have your sanity or did you keep the doodle?
@@lanky-x782 He’s a handful, but he’s also very smart and listens well so he’s stuck with us

Our Aussie doodle was the best acquisition we had ever! Adorable !!!!❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. Picking up my Mini Aussiedoodle in 2 weeks!! He’s my first puppy!!
Aww congrats!!! Enjoy every single sec :)
Great video man, a friend has a mini I love so much, but he displays everything in this video. Will be passing this to my friend, valuable info!
Thanks, Chad!

I have an Aussiedoodle I wish I saw this sooner lol.
I'm so sorry that your dog got hip dysplasia. Do you know for certain that it was due to exercising it too much? When did you get him neutered?
Thanks, Jimmy. Not certain on the cause; it could most likely be genetics tbh. And I got him neutered around 9 months I believe!

How do you keep his mouth from being tinted? I have the brown around my Aussie Doodle mouth.
Wipes tend to help! Though will not completely wipe away the brown

One thing to get on early is learning how to eat out of a designated bowl
When did you neuter him? I have a 7 month old aussiedoodle and everyone says different things ''9 months! a year! a year and a half!''
We neutered him around 9 months!
@@marieqc2599 talk to the vet
3-time Aussie owner here 👋 What happened to your dog’s tail?
I didn’t know at the time but they docked his tail at birth :(
Unfortunately this is the breed standard and many breeders do it :( some also remove the dew claws
Are Aussiedoodles and cobberdogs the same thing?

the daily/every day brushing is no joke!
We spaying her at 7 months and I thought was a little too early. 😢
Hopefully, most aussiedoodle owners realize they are smarter than their human's.🤣
Someone just gave me one as im watching this video
They’re the best!
So glad to see this AussieDoodle has a docked tail. Aussies & Poodles tails are to be docked.
