Bred to drive livestock, Australian Shepherds can and will take the dominant role in the home if they are not firmly and confidently taking charge.
Like many herding dogs, the Australian Shepherd is naturally loyal to his family but somewhat withdrawn from strangers. They require early socialization – exposure to a variety of people, views, sounds, and experiences is essential – while he is young.
Good socialization will ensure your Australian Shepherd grows up to be a well-rounded dog. Attending puppy school is a good place to start. Having regular visitors and taking the dog to a busy park, as well as taking walks where they meet lots of neighbors, also help to mold the dog’s social skills.
