De: Kirsten Tardiff

Narrado por: Kristen Kallen-Keck

Written by respected Aussie breeder Kirsten Tardiff of Echolight Australian Shepherds, this audiobook truly is a "Complete Guide" in which even the most experienced Aussie owner will learn something new!

The Australian Shepherd is an intelligent, energetic, enthusiastic breed that was developed in the American west to herd livestock for farmers and ranchers. Today, while some still work on farms as their ancestors once did, others are a force to be reckoned with in competitive dog sports and are valued as loyal family companions.

Affectionately called “Aussies” by their devotees, this breed can seem over the top to some potential owners; but those that lead an active lifestyle and enjoy training their dog will find an apt companion and willing pupil in an Aussie. Their intelligence and willingness to please their owner is unmatched. This breed is typically reserved with strangers and makes a good watch dog.

In this audiobook, you will discover the history and unique characteristics of the Australian Shepherd, as well as how to choose a reputable breeder or rescue and where to find them. Use this guide to prepare your home for a new addition, navigate through your first day together, and train them to be a wonderful companion. Explore sections on nutrition, grooming, healthcare, and more to give your Aussie the very best quality of life.

Topics include:

• Choosing an Australian Shepherd
• Preparing Your Home for Your Australian Shepherd
• Bringing Home Your Australian Shepherd
• Housetraining
• Socializing with People and Animals

Great book!

Learned some new techniques that I didn’t have with my older Aussie. Will be using on new puppy cause he’s a bit wilder than my first Aussie pup!

Outstanding!

we learned and what we learned is working well for us raising our two Australian Shepherd pups. Thank you Kristen for sharing your insights.

Good Review

I am about to get my new Aussie baby in a week. she will be my 3rd Aussie. They are such wonderful dogs. I listened to this book as a review/reminder prior to bringing my new little girl home. it was a wonderful read, well thought out and interesting.
