Training & Socialization

It is so important to get puppy signed up for training right away AND to start socializing between 9-12 weeks old. DO NOT WAIT. You will want to continue all of the different exposures we started before they were eight weeks old.  Below are items that Foothill Aussies have used, have been recommended by trainers or have been recommended by Foothill Aussie Puppy Parents. If you have any questions about why or how to use these items, please let us know! If you have questions specific to training, please review Our Training Tips or Find a Trainer.

We are a loving and responsible Australian Shepherd, Aussiedoodle, and Poodle breeding program based in Northern California.

Our passion is breeding service, therapy, and companion dogs in LOVING guardian homes, instead of kennels, that typically have a lower drive and energy that is great for the family home.

We do our best to surpass our clients' expectations by fully developing the puppies in our program in every way possible through our unique and thorough puppy curriculum.


Our specialty is matching each family to the very best puppy for their specific needs!  Welcome to our unique program.
