In April I will be getting a 6-week old female GSD puppy. What are some tips and tricks for training and feeding this puppy? She will be used as an ESSA for me.

What wyoung2153 said.

However, if there is no helping getting such a young pup...tips:

Crate train
Buy plenty of chew toys
Get and read training books prior to her arrival
Establish a vet that you will be seeing
Bleach your back and front yard now before she gets there
Read the forum regarding puppies

First piece of advice, wait two more weeks to pick em up.

Second, find a new breeder for any future puppies. No good breeder gives puppies away at six weeks old.


Taking a puppy at six weeks old can have long term negative effects on temperament and development for the puppy. Could cause aggression, anxiety, etc. The puppies learn A LOT in those two CRUCIAL weeks.
