Can Aussiedoodles Live Outside?

The aussiedoodle's energetic and lively nature is one that makes it a beloved pet in many homes. But can Aussiedoodles live outside?

Aussiedoodles are typical pet dogs that enjoy the company of owners and the warmth indoors. They love being around people and thrive in houses with adequate spaces. Although Aussiedoodles love to play around a lot, they should never live outdoors.  

Aussiepoos are easily susceptible to stress and anxiety, especially if they are all alone for a long time. They naturally possess high energy levels and can be restless if kept in a confined apartment. Regular strolls, games, and exercises are essential tips to help release increased hormones. It would help if you also considered getting toys and squishy balls for your pet. These activities will keep them busy and prevent random diggings in your garden. 

Generally, this breed isn't made to live outside. Aussiedoodles love the touch of nature's essence and outdoor pleasure. However, many verified veterinary cases show that leaving your aussiepoo out at night or for prolonged periods has detrimental effects on their mental stimulation. 

Effects of Leaving Aussiedoodle Outside

A dog is a man's best friend, so you need to know what works best for your pet to ensure she gets adequate care and grooming. Aussiedoodles are naturally energetic breeds with increased hormones and high levels of agility. However, unlike many other dog breeds, aussiepoos aren't cut out for permanent life outside. Subjecting this breed to staying all day and night outdoors can adversely affect its health, growth, and development. Let's take a closer look at some effects this living condition can have on your aussiedoodle. 

Loneliness

If there is one thing Aussiepoos dread, it's being left alone for long periods. Aussiepoos are fun-loving breeds that crave the constant presence of people around them. They quickly develop a strong bond with their owners, which makes them seem clingy and carefree. Aussies do not do so well when left alone for long hours and hate the feeling of isolation. They regularly long for interaction and playtime with their owners, who they consider family. 

Leaving this pet outside for a long time could leave her depressed and feel less like her usual lively self. You may also begin to notice withdrawal symptoms and a lack of interest whenever you try to play with her. So you must note that although Aussiepoos are naturally freehearted, keeping them outside can make them moody and affect your relationships with them.

Susceptibility to Harmful weather

Aussiedoodles need adequate protection from severe weather conditions that could trigger illnesses and diseases. This specific breed tends to suffer more infections and illnesses than other kinds of dogs. Leaving your Aussie outside makes her prone to heat stroke, flu, frostbite, and cold, depending on the climate. 

Despite its agile and energetic nature, there is only very little that Aussiesdoodles can handle. Exposure to harsh regular weather changes can affect their health and behavior. This makes your apartment the perfect habitat— a warm, cozy environment that provides necessary shelter for your dog.

Constant Barking

Dogs try to express themselves in the only way that draws the attention of everyone around; barking. Regular dog breeds like the Australian shepherd bark loudly whenever it senses danger. The aussiedoodle also uses this medium to signal  her owners that she feels uncomfortable being left alone outdoors— and "would like to come in." 

She may resort to loud barkings, whining, or howling for a long time until you finally get the memo and let her into the house—an ideal place to be. This constant noise for your dog could be a nuisance to neighbors and people around. 

Restlessness

The Aussie is quite an intelligent breed that loves to play around, especially when it involves people. Her high energy levels mean that she regularly wants an activity or task to keep her entertained, engaged, or excited. 

Leaving your Aussie outside all day will make her restless and forced to create a task herself. In this case, she may begin to dig holes in your garden, destroy your things in your yard and even chew on any item she finds around— all in search of something entertaining. The downside is this dog tends to get bored quickly if there isn't anyone to play with. 

So if you do not want to see your yard in a messy state, keeping your dog indoors and around her family would be best. 

Separation Anxiety

The aussiedoodle is sociable and synonymous with extroverted humans in that they are very friendly with people. But once you ostracize this dog from the rest of the family by keeping her outside for a long time, she will likely develop "separation anxiety ."As much as aussiedoodles love to play out, it is never the ideal home for them. Ostracizing your Aussie from people will only have a negative effect on her mental health and relationship.

Social Mannerism

The aussiedoodle needs proper socialization with people from the new first in its new home. This gives her time to familiarise herself with her new owners under the required care and supervision. But exposing your dog to the outside life prevents her from getting the grooming and social mannerism needed for a positive Human–canine bonding. 

Aggression

Aussiepoos tend to develop aggressive traits once they feel neglected and abandoned outside. The longer you leave your dog out, the more withdrawn and aggressive they become. They begin to develop a detrimental change in their mental and emotional development. After long periods of staying outdoors, you may discover that your dog becomes hostile and aggressive temperamental when approached. 

It wouldn't be nice to trade all that cuteness and friendliness in your aussiepoo for aggression due to outside living.

Benefits of Aussiedoodle living Inside

Now that we have established that subjecting your aussiedoodle to living outside isn't the best let's look at why indoors is the perfect natural abode for this dog. 

Skin Shedding

The aussiepoo possess wonderful inherited qualities from their parents, which makes them suitable for indoor living. Their caring nature sees them do little things like wrapping their fluffy little coats around you to keep you warm and cozy, especially during the winter season. Unlike many dogs, this hybrid breed rarely sheds fur all year long; hence you have no worries about getting an allergic reaction.
