Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Australian Shepherd training plan for puppies or adult dogs?

Designed for 8-week-old Australian Shepherd puppies but works for older puppies and adopted adults. The fundamentals are the same — older dogs just compress timelines and add more proofing in distractions.

How long does it take to fully train a Australian Shepherd?

Basic commands: 2-4 weeks. Reliable adult obedience: 6-12 months. Full mental maturity: age 2-3. This PDF focuses on the 10-week foundation that everything builds on.

What if my Aussie is older than 8 weeks?

Use the schedule anyway. The plan still applies — you'll just compress timelines and may need more distraction-proofing earlier. Adult dogs can learn at any age, just often more slowly than puppies.
