Is it necessarily to have a yard for that breed? If I'm at work and a few errands and can be back after 10 hours of absence, can the GSD stay occupied and entertained while that happens? If adopting, how difficult it is to train (let's say) a 5 year old GSD who had little to no training? Is it...

Hi community! I'm new here and so is my little guy, Jerry Lee, who just turned 7 months! He's a great boy, training is going great. Only thing is he LOVES to meet other dogs and has been so great with all the dogs he has played with and met. But, he now barks out of leash frustration in wanting...

Hi everyone, I have a 13 month old 95 lb GSD, Monti. He’s a really sweet boy, very calm and listens well to commands. All my friends and family love him and tell me how well behaved he is. I’m looking for advice on how to manage his new behaviors. As he’s getting older, I’ve noticed some...

I have a 7 month old GSD who is an absolute mess when going to club, he recognizes the warehouse and as soon as we’re in he stares at the equipment table and the whining/barking is nonstop. No response to his sit, down, or heel without screaming. He’s my first working line and built him up at a...

Hi I have a 2.5 year old GSD named Zeus. Zeus is a great dog with our family .. great with our kids but gets aggressive when he sees strangers. We have 3 acres of land so he has plenty of exercise. We got a new neighbor a few months back and they have a dog but the neighbors do have a fence. We...

My father and mother just got a rescue puppy who’s 5 months old and loves to snap/bite. They’ve only had him for about two weeks, but the biting has gotten very annoying and he hasn’t shown any signs of stopping. He is a Blue Heeler mix (not sure with what), and he’s definitely a hyper dog who...

Hello, I’ve tried every method to not have my make GSD 5 month old pup not chase my cats but he views it as a game. I’ve tried having him leashed when introduced, teaching the command “leave it”, rewarding when left, any other suggestions? I have the staircase blocked off and my poor cats can’t...

Hiii this is my first time owning a GSD. I have an Australian shepherd who is 12 yrs old right now and she's been so sweet towards my new puppy. my new GSD is 8 weeks old and he is really good so far and seems so smart, I think he is already learning the "come" command! Ok but I wanted advice...

Someone found this poor girl roaming around and she doesn't have a chip. They tried to find her owner for 2 weeks and no one came. I don't know how old she is but she's small and skinny right now. I just noticed all 4 canine teeth are flattened. I know they can wear them down but she is probably...

Hi Folks I have almost everyone's training course, Leerburg, **** Staal, Dave Kroyer, Shutzhund Kevin, etc I also have a ton of books...most of these are great but I love learning more. I am looking to get a course or 2 from this guy.. STS K9 - Nino Drowaert I was wondering if anyone here has...

Excited to find this site/forum. Looking forward to seeing all the great information, tips, and all cute dog the pictures 🐾 Meet Maverick (5 months) & Demi (10 weeks) 💞

How long should a 4 month old puppy be able to play ball for? She will go for so long and it’s a great way to get her energy out but I don’t want to hurt her joints + growing!

I want to achieve a BH and explore scent work with my female. Does anyone know of any clubs or trainers in Upstate NY that do that? My online search turns up nothing locally. I'm wondering about online classes? Thank you!

So my 3.5-month old puppy is provided every toy known to man. She lives an extremely privileged life and obviously still needs a lot of training. One thing I am having a hard time understanding is the need to eat sticks. She is fed plenty, receives daily treats, and as mentioned, provided...

a second brag post? oh goodness, what an accomplishment, but my sweet boy deserves it. I've been slacking this past month, or two, on training, and this week I finally decided I needed to step up! I got into contact with an old friend who has some rescued GSD mixes and planned a meetup to...

Due to the weather, and me being in bit of a mental rut, training and hiking has began to be few and few between, lucky for me Charlie is very laid back, and is easily satisfied playing with the other dogs in their run, and is well behaved MOST of the time, but I still can't help but feel guilty...

So I started Coco on a prong collar last Friday for his leash reactivity - he's doing fine with it, doesn't seem to care much about it but gives me his attention when I pop the leash. Walking (no sniffing) by my right side and sit are the only two things I've been asking him to do on a prong...

Hi all! I am new to the website, and a new GSD owner. I am constantly training my new 16 week old puppy Mayko and we are also currently in our 3rd week of group class at a local obedience and sport club. I heavily researched bloodlines and breed information for years, and previously had a German...

heyo! as some of you know, back in late September, the 25th to be exact, my GSD Charlie was hit by a train, yes, a train, and got by with only minor injuries, lucky lucky guy. He is completely healed and back to normal now, doing just fine, but recently, on our visits to our cabin, which is...

Speak or "Talk Smack” as some people like to call it, has never been a priority on the training list, so it never bothered me when my previous dogs wouldn't do it. Now, since Charlie is excelling in his training and doing very well, I'd like to train him to speak, or bark repetitively on...
