Question
Do I need to have my mini aussie profrssionally trained (i.e puppy kindergaten) or can I train him myself?  He is 11 weeks old.

Answer
It's better if you do it, but with professional guidance.  Try to find a positive trainer in your area who takes puppies at a very young age.  Your pup is not too young to start, and really should be interacting with other puppies before he gets much older.  You can find a trainer at the IPDTA or APDT web sites.
