About the Author

I’ve been living with Australian Shepherds for over 20 years. What started with one high-energy dog turned into a household that has included six Aussies and a couple of Australian Cattle Dogs along the way. Most of what I share here comes from daily life, not theory. The early mistakes, the small wins, the long nights, and the slow lessons that only come from living with a high-drive herding breed. Over time, I began documenting what worked, what didn’t, and what I wish someone had told me earlier. Aussie University is where I share those real-world experiences for other owners navigating the same challenges. Over time, I’ve also documented what it really costs to raise one, from puppy expenses to long-term care.

PLEASE READ THIS

I’m not a veterinarian or a certified trainer. I’m an owner who has spent decades living with this breed and learning through trial, error, and a few humbling moments.
If your dog has a medical issue, talk to your vet. If you need professional behavioral help, consult a qualified trainer. Everything here is based on lived experience with Australian Shepherds in real life, not theory.
