    I grew up with GS. Awesome family dogs. Very loving and protective. I always remember when me and my brothers were small. We'd be playing and wrestling around with friends. The female GS we had at the time was always watching us. If she thought things were getting a bit too rowdy, she'd go over and gently pull our friends off of us by their clothes very gently, just to let them know "that's enough " 😅 She was awesome.

    I've had a German Shepherd for 7 years, and I really relate to this video. For mine, the best diet for good digestion has been giving both a bit of raw hamburger and salmon-based kibble. She also gets the last couple bites of everything I eat pretty much. I also feed her a lot of carrots so she can eat a lot more without getting fat. Also, one mistake I made is playing frisbee fetch. German Shepherd's, for both bad and good, are reckless when playing fetch. Mine did a crazy jump for a frisbee and fell wrong and broke her elbow. A big regrettable mistake on my part to turn her into a frisbee dog. Also, walking after freezing rain resulted in an ACL tear. She's had surgeries though and gets around pretty good. I made the mistake of trying to be too good of an owner by going out for exercise no matter what. In slippery conditions, stay indoors. While the weather is bad, much better to have a bored an unexercised dog, then one that gets a serious injury.

    I rescued a German Shepard and she took to me very quickly. She was kind with everyone and the most gentle girl in the world! Fantastic with kids and playful and well trained. HOWEVER, she was very aggressive towards other dogs. Luckily she was only 8 months old (still big), but easier to train. The way I trained her to socialise nicely with other dogs at the parks was by putting a mussel on her and then letting her socialise. I had her on the lead at all times of course and would pull her back if the other dog went for her so she’d be fine, but it worked a trick! 6 weeks later and I’ve finally taken the mussel off and she is great with every dog! So playful and gentle with them! I was originally against mussels but after researching them and the best ones for the dog I found the perfect one that was comfortable for her and easy for me. Hopefully others can have other tips and tricks on how they’ve trained theirs to socialise when they are big?

    Four months ago I adopted a gsd from a horrific hording situation. He was housed in the largest crate you can buy with 3 other gsds. When he came to our house, I was the first one he saw and immediately became a " Velcro dog". I have to have a talk with him and give him a job to do before I leave in the morning. It may be, " I have to go to work, so you have to take care of momma and guard the house. I'll be back soon." He takes those instructions very literally. The best dog ever!

    @x941bri_ Před rokem +62

    Some more things to consider when getting a GSD is do you want a working line or a show line? Working lines have higher drive (work and prey), higher energy, and need jobs much more than show lines. Show lines are typically more easy going, have moderate drive, and typically mellow out at a younger age than working lines. This obviously will vary based on breeding and temperaments, but this has been my experience over that last ten years of owning both lines of GSD’s.
    Also if you are wanting to do you own grooming (brushing, bathing, nails, trimming hair when needed) it’s best to introduce and desensitize to it as early as possible. You can have a lot of fear/reactivity issues down the line if you don’t desensitize to it early and quickly

    • @x941bri_
      @x941bri_ Před rokem

      @@ianalan4367 eh it’s 50/50. Working lines are usually bred more precise when it comes to OFA’s because they’re typically used in PD, Service dogs, and other high-mobility fields. You can get show lines with hips that are just as good, but because they’re typically more sedentary that working lines they’re prone to more issues with weight which can put stress on the joints and hips. Most of the pics you see of show lines are when they’re in a 3 point stack which makes them look like their back legs are way shorter when it’s really just the way they’re standing. It doesn’t hurt them or make them uncomfortable at all. Both lines are prone to the same aliments due to genetics, which is why making sure you go to a good breeder who does all the testing is so important.

      @@jayving7537 learning comes from observing it being done.
      I’d recommend if your trying to teach what this person is talking about every time your German shepherd wants to go outside to use the washroom ring the bell yourself once and let them outside.
      Eventually the German shepherd will attribute it to bell owner rings before they lit me outside, and thanks to there curiosity they’ll eventually try ringing it themselves to see what happens.
      Then you simply reward this behaviour by using the bell for its purpose, a way for your dog to conveniently signal to you I need to use the washroom.
      It’s like teaching a learning artificial intelligence how to beat a game faster then every speed runner who’s ever lived, you need to hold its hand and guide it in the right direction and eventually it will do it most of the time.
      But just like any math addicted person let’s round that most of the time up to all of the time.

      Ball lock is great, when you are training because then you don't have to rely on treat training.
      Kara is cross bred with a Border Collie, and her ball lock is shocking. I took her down to the local dog park earlier in the week, there was literally a scrap between two little Jack Russell things a metre away from her and she was locked on the ball someone else had for their dog. I've stopped taking toys with us to the park so she actually HAS to interact.
      It's a two edged trait for sure.

      @@RatelHBadger hey, border collies are working dogs. they're amazing, and you seem like a good owner. I own a GSD (12 years old now) and a malinois puppy (10 months) too, they're also working breeds, and they're amazing. I'll let you in on something that relieved me immensely. Working dog breeds socialize fine with their handlers, and as long as they work and are introduced to people the right way, they don't NEED to play with other dogs. I love watching my little malinois puppy play with other dogs, she loves it too, but she is perfectly content and happy, not missing things in her life when she's just working / training with me, and hanging out at home with the boundaries we've set.
      Your dog does NOT need access to other dogs in order to live a happy life, as long as you provide them a job to do, which you really have to do with working breeds anyway.

      @@Eniroth it's not so much the need to socialize that's the issue, it's more the obsession over the toy above all else. No toy at the dog park and she socialises find, you can do agility training skills etc. One time she found a scummy old ball in the mud, and a dog she had just been playing fine with started getting annoyed with her because she kept giving it to me to throw. To the point it was nipping her legs as she was waiting for me to throw, she was so ball focused it could have gotten out of hand.

    My old man wanted a German shepherd for protection guard dog . I have never owned one. I own a beagle and I knew everything about her. So this new breed has brought on a lot of new education! But I love her so much and she’s highly intelligent. And can play for hours and hours. Lol. So to anyone thinking of getting one… I advise someone to be at home 90% of the time . Simply because they do need so much stimulation! She listens really well and I haven’t been able to pay for training but at this point I feel like a trainer myself 😂. I have bought an obstacle course and even battery operated dog toys to give my arm a rest . We are blessed to have some land. Which keeps her occupied. Get ready to groom! And please clean their ears. I’m obviously here to learn more and more. But I feel like I’m on the right path to success.

    One mistake my parents made when our family GSD had to be put down because of H.D, Mum rushed out & tried to replace him with a new one, not enough time to heal, not not fair to new pup. Thanks for sharing, your giving these beautiful GSD’S a voice xox 🐾🌸

    Loved your video as you hit the things people need to really know about GSD. I grew up with a pack of shepherds and loved them all. My father trained them and they were the best dogs on the street. I remember being about 7 and walking mine around town, she was bigger than me but took care of me and obeyed. My husband was in the K-9 section both in the military as well as police so loved GSD as well. Sadly, we are both retired and while would like a couple, they would be too much for either of us to handle at our age but we both miss them greatly.

    Long time American bulldog fanatic but 7 months ago I took a shot on a working line GSD and she has fully converted me. She's so smart and well behaved, I've never had a dog so attentive to me or a dog that learned a command so fast. I have no issues with exerting strong leadership so results may very but she is just so responsive, I love spending time with this dog! Had a minor issue with her killing one of my chickens when she was young but she intuitively knew I wasn't happy with that (I never punished her for it) and now she can go into the chicken pen and not touch one of em. I say, as long as you're not too lazy and have the will to learn, and you actually want to spend time working with a dog then there is no better dog on the planet!

These tips will help me be a better dog owner. Thank you and Lucy for being there for people new to the breed or dogs in general. Luckily I knew what I was getting into when I got him. Lol

    Awwww Lucy is such a sweet girl - I've owned three German Shepherds in my life, my first was a girl named Frieda and then she had pups and we kept two, Rocky and Max. I miss all 3 of them just like I miss my dead relatives I was close with. I want another but I'm going to need like another year before I can do that. And yes, they're a handful but the fact that they are SO SMART makes it literally a pleasure to train them, never felt like a chore at all. Now our little puggle Beethoven? He's a totally different story - but he's still a good boi too and LOVES the attention of children especially.

    This is awesome! This is my first dog, AND she is also a rescue. She is 3, barely had any socialization with dogs or people and had NO training! So it is a journey 😂. Have had her for 4 months and she is becoming quite well trained, but there is still so much to learn. She is a pure Czech Shepherd.

    Hey buddy !Hope you are doing great!Always happy to see news from you and Lucy! Nice content as always !Let me share my story !As a first time dog owner (male west german showline) i was pretty forgiving with my puppy for the first 2-3 months ..He ended up thinking he was the alpha...He even growled at me when i asked something of him !He would bite me when he wanted to play (not with force but its still not acceptable behavior)...Had to contact a professional trainer to help me with my puppy!The key is consistency !All family members should behave correctly!German shepherds are amazing dogs but need stimulation for great results!
    Kisses from me and my 7.5 month puppy roco !

I'm not sure yet because I know it is alot of work but I've always loved the GSD and it will be my first dog ever. I'm 31 and waited so long to get myfirst dog. I wanted to wait until the time was right. I can't wait with the help of your videos what my first experience will be like.

    Great vid! I own a 1and a half year old gsd boy. I've raised and trained him by myself working 12 hour shifts 4 to 3 times a week, since he was 7 weeks. My ex helped me for a short while when he was a puppy. I've trained him so well, we don't even us a lead anymore. But it was A LOT OF WORK, and dedication. But I knew it would pay off and my love for him and dogs in general made it easy and enjoyable.

    I just watched your video and I really liked it. I adopted a 4 and a half year old male German Shepherd from my local animal shelter. He is a really good dog. I am training him everyday and I also brush him to help prevent a lot of shedding. He is not a big barker. He only barks when someone comes in my yard. We have had three other german shepherds while I was growing up. I did have a working german shepherd that was aggressive and tried to kill other dogs. But for me and my mom he was a angel. But I couldn't keep him because of that. Your GSD is beautiful one. I like how she sits up in the chair.

    Your videos are really informative and always fun to watch! Lucy is gorgeous and smart!
    I kind of really need your advice though. My parents just got a GSD puppy last month, he's 4 months old now. The problem I see is that the puppy is not getting enough exercise and attention... They usually leave the puppy outside in the front yard, but he would be just lying down in front of the door looking depressed. Puppy gets like 2 or 3 ten minutes walks everyday, and a small amount of bonding time with my parents (def under an hour a day). I play with him as much as I could when I'm there, but that's just one day per week... Good thing is he's been well fed and loved.
    I could really use some suggestions, thanks a lot in advance!
