Australian Shepherds possess intense herding drive, keen observation, and near tireless energy reserves. Without advanced outlets they may attempt to corral running children by nudging or nipping at heels. Puzzle work, agility, and structured obedience are essential to moderate impulse. Their wariness around unfamiliar strangers can shift into vocal guarding if boundaries are unclear. Overstimulation is a frequent risk in busy multi child homes.
