I am making good progress with my beautiful 4 month old Aussie pup when it comes to most things, but looking for some general advice from anyone who is more familiar with the breed.
What has helped most when it comes to obedience as a whole? What are they most receptive to when it comes to correction? I get him out for daily physical activity and work on his mental activity too and I feel that due to that I have avoided most destructive tendencies that puppies are known for. Overall I am very happy with him as a dog, just looking to expedite things.
Below are the main issues I have:
Also, on this note, if anyone has a recommendation for a good trainer in the DFW area, please let me know. I am working to make sure that we don't let ourselves have to correct too many bad habits, and have the best possible life with him as possible.

Below are the main issues I have:
- Recall - One of the things I have an issue with is him coming when called.
- Mouthy - He is very mouthy. It isn't a hard bite, but he likes to grab at you when playing. He has improved a lot here with stern and immediate correction and also I recognize that the more sleepy he is, the worse he gets here.
