Eager to please and highly trainable, the Miniature Australian Shepherd is a devoted and intelligent breed of dogs. Though they may be small in size, Mini Australian Shepherds exude energy and liveliness, making them an excellent playmate for both younger and older kids. Not only do they get along with their owners, Mini Aussies also get along well with other dogs and even cats, due to their overall family-friendly nature. Mini Australian Shepherds are highly trainable, so early socialization and puppy training is recommended to ensure that they will grow to be well-adjusted, sociable and well-mannered. Because they are very energetic, active and athletic, setting up mini obstacles for them is encouraged, as they excel in various canine activities, such as obedience, agility, and tracking.
