➳ How much exercise does an #AustralianShepherd need seems to be the question of all questions. So I am here to talk about that and compare the two days to each other. Day 1 we have 0 hours of exercise. Just some tricks for treats and nothing else on this rainy day. Day 2 we have 3-4 hours of exercise and you can see the difference for yourself.

The fact that your dog is so well trained makes the “crazy” way easier to handle lol! I’ve met dog owners who don’t train their dogs beyond a sit and then barely exercise them and complain about how crazy the dog is 🤦🏻♀️
No, he raised his own dog from a very young age. Untrained adult Aussies with a lot of bad habits and misunderstanding about our human society and human-dog relations is a pain. Instead of herding, they will do everything to attract your attention. They try to manipulate you by constantly following you. They are very territorial and hostile to other dogs or even other humans. They are timid and will be aggressive because of fear. They will annoy other dogs and other animals which will often end up with potential fights if you don't intervene constantly. They need a lot of proper training and they don't seem to be able to control their energy burst. Aussies are not bad dogs but they just don't fit into our modern society very well.
@@trumplostlol3007 This person is exaggerating. Aussies make amazing pets. You, with every dog species, you need to train them. There really only are a few dogs that naturally aggressively be friendly and affectionate with strangers. Aussies if trained and have the right personalty they can make some of the best therapy and comfort dogs.
@@AL-lh2ht If you raise any dog at a very young age and give her a lot of exposure to humans and other animals, she will be a good pet. If you adopt an adult dog that has never exposed to anything, you are adopting a wild animal. Understand?
@@trumplostlol3007 I adopted an adult dog that wasn’t socialized before we got him. I can contest that it takes some extra work, but the dog can become sociable and loving. You really just got to work with them and focus on the cause of their reactions rather than the actual behavior. You can fine tune things later. Heck, this dog is going to become a service dog in the future.
@@phoenixssong3492 Every dog is different. Your assumption that since your dog is ok means nothing to other dogs. Every dog has a different history and a different personality. There are many dogs that are put down every year because of different kinds of aggressive behaviors. Your assumption that one untrained dog is ok implies every other dog is ok is dangerous. There are dogs that have been abused and dogs that have mental issues, just like humans. Did your dog pee and poo inside the house when you first got it? LOL Try to adopt a dog that has put in the yard and is allowed to bark like crazy all its life. Try to adopt a dog that is aggressive, territorial, and fearful at the same time. Try to adopt a dog that is reactive to the sound made by an owl. Try to adopt a dog that refuses to pee and poo outside at night because of some cars driving on a nearby highway, and then just pees inside the house when you get angry cause it is chewing its own bed. You can't go soft and you can't go tough. I have been playing with my dog outside EVERY SINGLE day and she is still very reactive to people and bikes moving around outside. She is still very reactive to sound made by cars, people chatting, and even wild turkey. She barks like crazy even inside the house when the garbage truck passes by. You know nothing about my dog. So, it is better for you to just shut up.
In my experience, most people don't train thier dogs as well as you have with Frankie. You can really tell the difference between a well trained dog and one that doesn't have boundaries.
!!!!!Agree!
I agree but not every dog can reach this level of behavior. I have a Husky mix and she will probably never be behaved like this.
There is a difference between "not willing to train" and "not able to train". Not every dog owner is a professional trainer who can spend hours and hours with dogs. Dogs are NORMALLY trained at a very young age by their parents. Dogs need to be socialized and taught by other dogs when they are very young. They need some kind of role models, just like humans and cats do. But dogs are different because they are born to be more aggressive and dangerous than cats and they are incapable of controlling their aggression like humans, unless they have been socialized with other well trained dogs at a very young age. Don't blame dog owners. Blame dog breeders.
@@trumplostlol3007 there is definitely a problem with breeders, lots of them breed unethically to get unique dogs to sell for premiums. Though I would disagree that dog owners are blameless. There are many irresponsible dog owners who are too lazy to train thier dogs. Mostly because they did not know what they signed up for. If I owned a rowdy, untrained dog, I would blame myself for poor training, I would not blame the biology of the dog or the breeder.
@@poopzassshit The only thing you can blame modern dog owners is they tend to spoil their dogs and do not understand that many dog breeds simply do not fit into our modern society and many dog breeds are NOT pets, but working partners. Positive reinforcement simply may not work on all dogs, just like humans. You expect cowboys in the old days to give positive reinforcement to their Aussies all the time? LOL Or even if it works, it will be extremely time consuming. If you praise a kid whenever he/she achieves "something", he/she will very likely be spoiled and be unable to achieve what he/she can actually achieve. I almost NEVER receive any positive reinforcement from any of my teachers in my entire life. Yet I managed to get a PhD. Dogs and cats train their own kids by some form of punishment, not positive reinforcement. The goal is not to punish, but to let them understand what they have done wrong. All dogs and cats need to receive appropriate socialization with other trained dogs and cats at a very young age, or they will be any owner's problem. You can't expect every modern human to understand any dog at all. If you want a pet, get a cat, not a dog, unless you have tons of free time to deal with your untrained and unsocialized dog. I have both cats and dogs and I know exactly what I am talking about.
I am so thankful for this video. It makes so much sense and is much more realistic than those who say these dogs are crazy and just have unending energy. They’re intelligent. They need intelligent interactions.
I'm BEYOND happy to see people regularly exercising their dog. It SO important, mentally and physically!
I love how he barks while he's chasing the frisbee. Im getting a mini aussie in septemeber im so excited!!
I got an Aussie lab mix, she fucking insane lol
I got one in November and shes actually pretty chill. The only time I've ever had issues with her is if we put her in a crate, otherwise shes angelic. Super smart though.
I’m getting one too. In June!
@@danielkunkler5768 Same thing here!!!! My boyfriend has had one since last year and her biggest behavioural issues ended up being a result of her staying in her cage for too long of periods. It got to the point she would runaway anytime he had to leave for work and his roommates requested she'd be put up. When he started letting her out more, she was way more angelic.... Precisely as you described. She's perfect now because she's never caged up. 🥰❤️ They really do seem to hate it.
@@nataliecampos1732 Absolutely!! If a dog doesn’t have a way out, let’s face it, it’s jail.
YESS ITS 20 MINS LONGGG ILYSM FRANKIE AND JOEY!
Frankie is truly amazing! It's so cool to see him interact with you and other dogs. 💛
Yes please do a video on the jobs you give him id love some ideas for my boy
This is why Sunday is my favorite day!
I love this. My Aussie remi loves watching while I’m working
I’ve never seen such moves, he is just incredible Amazing dog, he should be entered into dog Olympics
Love this!
No clue how I ran across this video but my Aussie female looks, acts, barks, loves, and has the same personality as yours. Instead of frisbee our girl is obsessed with her herding ball which I play with in the park across from our house similar to what you do. She loves, loves, loves going for Jeep rides too since I have a wrangler as well. She’s 2-1/2 now and has been the most amazing loving dog ever! Aussies truly are the best companion dog in my opinion.
My boyfriend and his girl Emi have a special bond. ❤️ Love watching your videos! I can tell your dog makes you so happy, too!
I received a Golden rehome and the only thing the previous owner kept saying was "she's got so much energy!" Not the fact she had low-key display aggression or resource guarding. We later found out we're her 3rd home. Mental stimulus is so important to her. It's helped all her behavioral issues.
I'm glad that you could take her! I hope it is going well. Goldens are the best! (me puppy is currently biting my feet though soooo... but most of the day she is great!)
@@albabick777 It was my pleasure to do so. We had just lost my old-man Golden at fourteen and a half years Dec 28, 2020. I thanked him for not leaving me before Christmas. He had just got a clean bill of health Dec. 23. I think his heart just stopped. 😓 Anyway, in his youth he had prepared me for anxiety and scared reactions in dogs. This girl is going to be a great one because of what he taught me. ❤
Thank you for info and clarity on exercise required. I pick up my Australian Sheppard Border Collie Cross pup in two days. Looking so forward this. I am retired so I have some time for this.
I've learned that the best way to waste all your dog's energy is: let them play with another dog!
Facts! Or swim
@@FrankieToTheMoon Yes, they are amazing swimmers once they overcome their fear!
He’s so awesome! Love the aerial/drone shots you’ve been incorporating too!
You should do more of these videos that are informational/comparisons. I have an English Shepherd (very similar to Aussie) puppy and this video showed and answered my wonder of how dramatically excersize affects a dog's behavior. It would also be fun to hear what type of food you buy for frankie/why you chose it and what foods he likes or doesn't like compared to other dogs (for example, my dog hates sweets/strawberrys!)
Would love to see a video on how you got Frankie interested in frisbee/get him to catch it. We have a 4 month old standard Aussie and he is only sometimes interested and never catches it in the air lol
I would say just keep practicing with them and gradually he'll understand when to catch it in the air. I have a border collie mix puppy whos 8months now and he only learned to catch the frisbee mid air around 6-7 months old. Dont give up on your puppy he will get it at some point!
Yeah it’ll take awhile. I started by getting my puppies to chase the toy, then when they are amped up and running I would put it over there head getting them to jump for it, then over time throwing it and eventually they just start to like to catch stuff. You can’t always get them to like a frisbee, my collie likes to run things down and catch them but not usually with a frisbee. Find your doggies favorite toy, start slow, give praise often and make sure you say “good catch” and teach them to “get it” so they understand what you want of them.
We're working on this from a bit different angle since our aussie girl is very food motivated: We taught "catch it" with tossing treats (giving bonus for successful catches), and then worked on "catch it" with the Frisbee (BIG bonus and celebration with catch). She's 6 months old and we're at an arm's length distance. Best of luck to you as you work on it too!
3 month old border collie puppy here. She absolutely loves chasing things when they roll on the ground, like a ground roller frisbee or a ball rolling on the ground. Seems like she has trouble tracking things in the air because she is so young. Its encouraging to hear that others dont really see object catching happening until 6 month. Just keep playing and things seem to happen naturally. :)
Frankie is so talented even talented than me!!if you can,can you show me how your showed Frankie to do dog tricks?!I would really help!!luv your vids btw!!
Really enjoyed watching all your videos with Frankie. You two are such a great match! And you are an amazing Aussie dad.
You are so kind
I have a toy poodle mini Australian Shepard blue Merle blue eyes and he’s a hyper pup 6 months old and I love the energy cause he gives me positive vibes
Definitely subscribed. Thanks for all of the advice. You are definitely helping me out with my decision on getting an Australian Shepherd.
I highly recommend getting some balloons, my Mini Aussie loves herding the balloons and keeps the mind busy as well. Good for those indoor days or when you have to work from home.
Another well done video! Wondering who the singer is in the early part of the video. Awesome!!
What a wonderful creature
What a gorgeous dog
I'm getting my Aussiedoodle Luna on Sunday. Can't wait!
"If they have a day of absolutely doing nothing, they're gonna go crazy" Cue my dog who sleeps in till 11(don't dare try to wake her before that, she'll give you the worst stink eye), then goes downstairs to go outside to potty and to eat and then sleeps some more
frankie styling and profiling love the moves with the leg thing lol thank you for sharing always look forward to seeing you guys
Awesome pups!
soooo insightful
"I'm just trying to eat" *arm pap "am i a joke to you"*
Thanks for this video. I was considering a Mini Aussie, but this video has shown me I don't have the time needed to put into this breed. That really sucks...for me. Good luck with Frankie.
Fantastic video! Well done . You are very inspiring and are helping lots of people and their dogs. Good on you and keep those videos coming.
I just got a flirt pole for my Aussie. It works on the "prey" drive I suppose, but it's a good game of chase for us! I love it for days I don't want to go to the park and just want to hang out in the backyard! As much as I would love to go out every day, it's just not possible with my schedule. So doing a quick session in the morning and afternoon has been working pretty well for us. When I'm gone, I've been hiding treats in Holle Roller Balls/ Bones and using scrap blanket paper to tie around and through it. It takes Koda about thirty minutes to pull the knots out and get the treats!
Get a dog walker if you can't fit a walk into your schedule. It's cruel to deny a walk. Social isolation. Lack of stimulation. Even if they don't meet others on a walk there are all the smells. Make 15 mins for a loose lead walk at the very least. Suggest you sit at home for 24 hrs with no TV or phone to get an idea of the deprivation level you are causing that dog on the days you don't walk it.
@pamelahenley7406 This is completely false. I hate people on the internet who try to shame people and then pull out nonsense like "if you don't walk them every day it's comparable to going 24 hours without technology" (which is a moot point because people do this quite often for stress relief...) This comparison is just stupid. They're not comparable at all, and if you really think that, you're quite uneducated about dogs. Christ, there are ways to stimulate a dog besides walking. So VERY many. There are days where a walk is not possible (unless you insinuate going out into a storm is necessary). There are SO many alternatives to walking when those days happen. Your dog is NOT suffering because they didn't get a 15 minute walk in on a single day of the week, so long as you make it up by keeping them stimulated, the dog really does not care. Also, she said nothing about never walking her dog, she said there are days where she doesn't feel like going. You know, like a typical human being that has a demanding fulltime job would feel? It happens to literally anyone who has a job. Just stop spreading misinformation.
Man you have the chilliest channel. Getting an Aussie really soon and really appreciate your videos.
Till early this year i had an Aussie for 12,5 years. And i have to say i didn't exercise everyday with him because I they have to learn to have "calm" days because what would you do is you are really ill and can't be outside with him for hours and hours. So I trained my for it and he was no crazy Aussie :) I miss him dearly. Aussis are an amazing breed.
I have an Australian cattle dog and situation is similar, I definitely agree working their mind AND body is key to having a happy and calm doggo. Dash loves fetch, water play, his herding ball and his food time puzzles :)
Same! Thank gosh for fetch, which can be done indoors even when I'm sick.
you are so lucky it has been my dream to have the type of dog i am saving up to do what you do..
This is the first video I saw of you guys, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Frankie is AWESOME, and I wanna see more. Thank you!
Sunday's are great when there's a new Frankie video!
Another great video! For my 11 mo, her "stir crazy" is cumulative. She can go a whole day or maybe even two or three (especially during winter storms) without really exercising, but I better plan on making up for it later! Our routine is usually up early, and she goes to work with me every day (I drive a truck for a living). She doesn't get much exercise at work although I DO get her outside even for a few minutes, every chance we get, and she always has new sights, smells and sounds to check out. Her "job" at work is usually just to help me run a tight ship and to keep an eye out for elk, deer and other obstacles on our journeys. BUT, most every day after work, it's an hour on the beach with the chuckit stick and/or frisbees (have you tried Frankie with multiple frisbees at the same time yet?), and often we get to spend some time with some of her doggy buddies too. She's pretty much grown up with her best friend Barley, and even 15 minutes of chasing each other around and rough play is far better than nothing. Weekends, if the weather is nice, looks a lot like your four hour tour. Hiking, frisbee, tennis balls, wrestle with dogs, more hiking.
Great video Aussies are amazing
Ammmazing!! Love Franky ♥️ I have an aussiedoodle. How do I teach him to go between my legs when I walk? He kind of does it a little (on his own) but obviously not the way Franky does it but he does stay behind me and likes to be very close to my legs when we walk.
I can't believe I found this channel, I love your tik toks Joey
Great video, I'm considering getting myself a Border Collie but I was afraid it would need 16h of activities every day. Nice shots, music and editing, too. It seems you, your partner and your dog are living a great life, and it's very beautiful the area you live in.
My parents have 3 Border Collies. I would really really recommend you to think about getting one very long. My mom goes to agility training 1 time a week + a little agility training in the garden 2-3 times a week + tournaments on the weekend (that was of course before the Lockdowns in my country) + 2 walks a day that take around 3 hourss combined. The dogs are still hyper. Petting doesn't help, but tricks do. Border Collies can be even more crazy than aussies. So as much as I love the dogs I grew up with (the oldest one is now 14 and such a cute deaf grandma) I would never buy a Border Collie unless I have very very much time in my everyday life. What I got is a very cute little stray from Romania and she is the sweetest thing. She can go crazy with her Border Friends but she is way calmer and doesn't need that much input.
just found your channel, my pup's name is also Frankie! :)
Pretty pup!! We have two aussie pups, and I am doing lots of videos as well!
I live on a farm and yesterday, was shearing day for our sheep. 2 sheep escaped the pen and we were chasing them all around the fields. Man was I wishing I had a trained herding dog then! I have a Australian cattle dog, Australian shepherd, pit, boxer mix and he helps a bit but the boxer is his predominant trait not much herding ability. I’m definitely planning on a pure bred cattle dog or shepherd sometime soon.
Even the dogs embarrassed he called it a soccer field
Frankie is awesome
Have you put out a video of where you learned to train Frankie. I am getting a three year old dog/ Labradoodle soon and I would like to train her in a respectful & kind way. Great video! What a lovable dog Frankie is!👍🐶🌙
I mean every single video somewhat demonstrates how I taught him things and the reason I do. I haven't made many how-to's
This was such a good video
So freakn cute lol, he's defiantly a great dog. Im Trying to get a blue heeler and very nervous because I have not had a dog in many years and im worried about training.
Dogs truly are man's best friend
Frankie and definitely made me believe that saying
Thanks for replying
Oh wowza! Nice video
Beautiful video! My dog is a collie lab mix and I have to work him out too.
I have a border collie lab too! She’s bipolar lol, she can cuddle forever and then she can go and play outside for 30 minutes. She does get tired more quickly than pure Aussies or border collies though but I really would love to get an Aussie or a border collie in the near future :) I love hyper dogs and love playing outside with them and I could go forever, my girl has a short attention span though :) she is only one though
@@laurawallbank I love playing with mine too. He’s a year old and giving him mental stimulation seems to Help a lot
@@SamtheSWE what do you do with him? My dog (Tessa) is somewhat food motivated but doesn’t really follow a lure. She’s the same way with toys, maybe if she really likes the toy then she’ll follow it a little bit but her attention span is super short lol
@@laurawallbank Obedience training, agility, frisbee, puzzle toys and games, hide and seek, and impulse control
The effort you guys put in is like woah baby! Music added was well done.
REALY good video man. I just inherited an Australian Shepherd and he is a LOT. But I am committed to giving him his best life, just to honor my wife's mom. Also, he deserves it. I'm just glad to see the things I've been researching match with what you're teaching. Thanks again for the video.
I'm glad to see your video. I am contemplating rescuing a young Aussie, but, after seeing this, I'm concerned that I won't have 4 hours a day to keep her exercised. I need to rethink it. Thank you.
Am about too get one am soo happy
I resonate with this way too much lol
Lovely & Happy viewing. Thanks.
My prettyminiaussie_juliette is my best friend! You inspired me to start playing with her more. We walk everyday and go swimming. I've always thought she needed a buddy to play with so I've been searching for a rescue dog but I live on Grand Manan Island NB in the Bay of Fundy. Or another mini aussie. But I've recently did a huge renovation and i got a brilliant idea for lots of scrap wood for an obstacle course! I just need someone to build it....can't wait it will be fun for both of us! She's 31 lbs and all muscle but tired of being told she's overweight. I'll keep you posted. 😊
He's just happy enough to play Frisbee with you too
Cute video and a dream dog. I really like Aussies and Boarder Collies they are like lil hairy humans with adhd. Hehe ♥️
I love the energy Frankie has and the way he goes at the frisbee is amazing. I want a Aussie after I retire from my job so I can spend most of my time training my pup up . Was just wondering what do you feed him?
We've been visiting Bruce PIt lately as we will have our Aussie in a few weeks. Bruce seemed fantastic in the winter but a few weeks ago the amount of unpicked up poop was shocking. How was it when you were there last?
where is Indy? i don't see her much
Indie is his girlfriend's dog. They don't live together so she's not there all the time :)
@@N13L2 yeah but his girlfriend was at the park with him, why wouldn't she bring her dog along?
Just found your videos, really cool to see a KZheadr from Ottawa. Recognizing places around the city like the greenspace where you threw the frisbee, Bruce Pit etc.. love watching Frankie so attentive and committed to you
Welcome aboard! happy to have a local viewer
The “I have demands” face
Watching Frankie always makes me excited to get my pup from Lisa too!!!!
Thank you for sharing! Love it~
Hey what’s up great videos!! I wanted to ask if you got Frankie fixed or is he natural lol? From Los Angeles
Its so nice to see some one that in CONNECTED mentally to their 4 legged furbaby . I love your calm submissive discipline. What a great relationship and video I love all the songs can u possibly give me title and artist ? Ty P.s You guys are worth subscribing too !
could you do a video of how you taught him his fun tricks like through and go around etc?
For sure! I plan on doing that when we are out of lockdown
Mentions Canada weather on frisbees, oh nice I'm in Canada... Mentions Bruce pit, HAH, I'm in Ottawa. Hopefully I'll see you around. We just bought a 3:1 Aussie:border collie 12 weeks.
My mini aussie wants nothing more than to curl up and sleep in a comfy bed all day. He may be a little strange lol.
Too the moon you say? Frankie is a true hodler 🚀🌝
Beautiful dog!
Thank you very much!
At when I thought it was seven min and it kept going I was like yessssssssss
Do we like the longer videos?
@@FrankieToTheMoon omg yes more Frank’s everybody happy
It's still a lot of snow here. With here, I mean Norway
I totally understand any anxiety you may experiencing. I have a 7 month mini Aussie……😳😳😳😳😳😳😬🎉
Hey, I live in Toronto and my one year old Aussie/border c . pulls a lot. He has a gentle lead but he hates the thing, did you get your harness at any stores I can find here in Canada? And would you say it helps with pulling?
I just knew this was canada before I seen the inside of your hat.
The bark run away is adorable!
This is so beautiful. Canadian forests, bluegrass, and an amazing relationship.
me getting this on my recommended when my high drive aussie is on day 6 of recovery from her spay surgery... I know exactly how this is going to go down 🤣
Soooo helpful bro! I just acquired a 4 year old. Blown away by his intelligence but really worried that I'm not stimulating him enough. Dang.
I have a one year old Aussie doodle and I feel so terrible! So selfish when I got him since I work 8 to 4 what was I thinking but I love him so much
Those puppy protein pancakes looked gooood 😋 I think that probably means I should get some food 🙃
Idk wat to comment but nice video!
Thanks!
David’s Tea. You must be Canadian like me. David’s Tea is definitely a Canadian company(this is only the second video of yours that I’ve seen). Except I live in the Rockies. I used to live in Pembroke at one time but I prefer the west. He’s board. He’s like my dogs, he needs to go out and do something every day.
We live in Ottawa 🇨🇦
Cutest family ever
Aw thank you
@@FrankieToTheMoon yw
im getting a mini aussie and this is hepful ^^
Thanks Frankie for sharing your day! We’re thinking of adopting an Aussie. I’ve got a Malamute who would love a friend, three kiddos, and three cats! Lots of attention to be had. 😁😁
2 long walks a day, frizbee in the yard, zoomies in the evening chasing the ball, sitting out front watching squirrels, after work chill listening to nieghborhood at patio table, visit to friends house, trip to Rural king....all in a day
My pittie mix gets really annoyed and mouthy when not exercised, his bare minimum is a 2 mile walk with some fetch in. I would love to do frisbee because throwing the kong hurts eventually. Beautiful pup.
