If I can’t adopt retired police dogs, where can I get a qualified puppy and attend training classes with them?

I really want a well trained German Shepherd. I am willing to invest the money and time to develope that special bond!

The real question here is well trained for *what*? If you just want a great pet who is well trained, or a competition obedience dog then there is no need to “invest” vast quantities of money and there’s no such thing as a “qualified” puppy. If all you’re looking for is a fantastic pet or a competition obedience dog you really don’t even NEED a puppy as an adult GSD adopted from a rescue could just as easily fit the bill. The most important thing to achieve a well trained dog is patience and consistent training. The best thing about consistent and patient training is that this is the sort of thing that will help you develop that special bond.

If you really want to do schutzhund or some other similar type of training with your GSD, then that is when you will need to be very picky about the puppy or dog that you look for as these sports require a very mentally stable dog with a very specific temperament.

If you have your heart set on a puppy, then you need to look for a reputable breeder who shows their dogs not only in confirmation shows but also in working disciplines (like obedience, herding, schutzhund, search and rescue, etc). In addition to titles that prove their dogs are worth breeding, a good breeder will do a variety of health tests on all of their breeding stock.

Have a 4 month old German Shepherd mix. She’s afraid of basically everything except dogs,please help!?

I do no use any harsh training methods or “corrections”. Me and my whole family are always loving to her and I make sure no1 teases her. When I left for Cape Town, my dad left her in the house for a whole month. When I returned, i tried taking her for walks and stuff, but she’s always stressed out during walks and only wants to return home.:(

Your dog has missed her most important socialization period. Take her for walks in and around the yard have strangers and friends hand her rewards. Have them on you so they are handy. AS she becomes comfortable then take her a bit further. Start w/baby steps. When walking keep something she likes a toy or treat in your hand and let her concentrate on getting it as you go a bit further.
Open car doors and let her in and out, then when she becomes more acclimated take her for a 2 minute ride in and out the driveway only. Then after a few weeks fo further.
Also invite a friend over let the dog go to them since they will have a treat or toy she likes. Do not let people approach over her and reach for her let her do it to build her confidence.
Re assure once but do not make a fuss or overly reassure because because feels she has reasons to be afraid and that validates her fears..I know it is hard as she makes progress but trust me it is best for her! Also YOU feel confident she senses your hesitations also.
Expose ehr slowly to all new things she should have been exposed to as a smaller baby..patience and time!

i need dog help? about breeds?

okay so me and my mother are arguing about dogs
she wont let me have a dog until i have a job
i’lll be 16 soon

Adoption is best! You’re saving a life, and getting a great dog along with it! Pitbulls are a very trendy dog, and can be very hard to train. Try to find a mixed breed – go for lab, collie, shephard, or hound mixes – very friendly, loyal, funloving, easy to train breeds, and with the traits of different breeds mixed together, you get the best of all the breeds! Breeds in the sporting and herding groups can be stubborn, but are awesome for loyalty and friendship!

German Shepherd puppy – Jana von Lotta – 3 weeks in training

german shepherd training arizona
I have a German Shepherd here in Arizona. What are the laws for taking him into public places?

I just purchased him from a woman who has MS. He was in training and has lifetime training. There are no certifications but she told me if I want to take him into public places to continue his training, all I need to do is get a picture of him and make a photo badge like People in professional buildings wear. She said I need to put “in training on it” my name, and the dogs name. Is this true? Sounds too simple. He has had the training though and does not bark or get agressive.

Should be able to find rules here.

house breaking a puppy?

I am trying to house break my 9 week old german shepherd pup that i got about a week ago. He seemed to be doing well at first. I take him out to potty about every hour. When he pottys outside i praise him and give him a treat. I know if I don’t see him potty inside I am not to scold him because he won’t know what he did wrong. However, he likes to be by my side at all times so I almost always SEE him go when he does his business inside. So well when I see him going potty inside I firmly say “No Pluto – we do not potty in the house” and proceeded to take him to his cage. Is this the right thing to do? Because since I have started it seems like he doesn’t potty outside as well anymore. Also i wonder if he THINKS he is SUPPOSE to potty in the cage, because on numerous occasions he went potty as soon as he gots in the cage at night -right in front of me as to say “look ma, look what i did” I thought when being “crate trained” they learned to NOT potty in their cage. Suggestions Anyone???

C Nally – I sense by your “HE” useage, that this is a Male German Shepherd.

I am the owner of 2 German Shepherds, 1 Female, 1 Male. I got the Female 3 years before the male. I got each as Puppies.

It took me “1″ Day to Housebreak “Jinny” my Female where as “Zuma” my Male took several months. He has had some accidents even at 1 1/2 years of age.

Males are harder to break for a few reasons. Since by Nature, they have a inclination to want to mark their territory although your Pup is no where mentally at that stage. So, the Male will not always empty his bladder in one squat or raise of the leg (as an adult), and I see my 2 y/o now Zuma urinate as much as 6 times in one outing within 10 minutes. Most is marking his territory. Even a Neutered Male will do this.

Continue to praise him as you are doing, but, don’t give him a treat with it. He may equate food with an okay to defecate or urinate. The praise is good, and that’s all you should need.

I always use the word “Potty” although it might seem silly, but, it’s an understandable term, and they equate it with going outside.

“Let’s go Potty”! Gotta go Potty? Let’s Go Potty!

Don’t wait an hour. Take him out when you least think he needs to go. His little Bladder fills up quick, and I imagine he drinks quite often and when he comes inside from going Potty.

A Puppy/Dog by nature will not usually soil their cage. This is their shelter and I imagine you are using it as a training aid as I did with mine also. Make sure you take him out before you put him in, and if you happen to be up later after putting him in, take him out of the cage and outside agin before you go to bed.

Males also are seem to experience “Bladder Training” and I was told by my Vet that they can tend to be incontinent more than a female puppy (German Shepherd).

ADDENDUM- Oh, by the way, whenever I saw Zuma in the act of urinating in the house, I quickly picked him up and carried him outside regardless if he was finished or I stopped him in the act. Always take Pluto out if you see him going or just gone. He will get the message he needs to do this outside. Don’t merely just clean up and chalk it up as a done deal. This is a great teaching and behavioral message to set him out ASAP.

I also have a Rottweiler that took 1 week to House Break. Sonya is a Female and I got her as a Puppy also. She is 5 months younger than Jinny. I let Jinny help train her and put her on Jinny’s Potty schedule and she followed suit real well.

I love all three, but, Zuma was hardest to train. He had and has to go more often as he did as a Pup and an Adult. Now he is completely Housebroken.

I never beat, hit, rubbed their nose in their “acidents”, but, I did scold them and say “Potty Outside”………Potty Outside, Bad Boy!….Potty Outside! Of course I didn;t have to do this with the girls.

I’d give your Male (Pluto) more out times more frequently based on my experience with Zuma. (I just realized you used the word “Potty” too…..ooops sorry, silly me).

The crate training is to hopefully give him that Den feeling. If there is a smell of waste/urine in there, clean it out, and get rid of the smell. This may trigger him to go. Give him a clean blanket and hopefully you got a piece of his litter blanket or something with his Mother’s scent on it as I did my Dogs as Puppies. It soothes them, and they will be less apt to soil the cage. If you don’t have anything with his Mama’s scent on it, and the breeder is fairly close by, see if you can get a piece of cloth, blanket, or something with his Mother’s scent on it. It makes the transition for him go very well, and he will be more nurtured by this and feel comfortable as he did bond with his litter-mates and Mother during his 7-8 weeks.

By the way, congratulations on your having one of the smartest breeds and one of the most loyal of the 150+/- recognized Breeds by AKC. Is this your first German Shepherd?

I hope he brings you much happiness and lives long, healthy and brings you as much joy as mine have brought me. I also hope he has good hips and everything goes well.

If this is your first German Shepherd, or haven’t had one in a long time,……might as well address something else for you too so you can stay ahead of the game.

Pluto is no doubt starting to teeth. It will get worse, and if you have nice shoes, boots, any footwear in the open…..put them away.

Watch out for loose or accessible electric cords such as a Vacumn Cleaner plugged in, or lamps easy to get at. Zuma even chewed on my Oak Kitchen Chair cross-members.

Hopefully you have a pair of old tennis shoes he can chew on. remove the laces, and eyelets if they can come out easy.

Pigs’ Ears are great to chew on for him, as well as Hard Pressed Turkey Treat discs. (About the Diameter of a Mayonaise Lid Jar). Encourage him now to chew on these things. A Hard knoted rope sold at Feed/Pet suplly stores is good too. However; try to get one without frayed ends. He will yank them out and swallow them.

Anyway; I wrote a Novella here. But, the content equals the care and appreciation I have for these wonderful dogs and an owner that cares.

Good Luck!

What are the Smartest Dog Breeds?

When it comes to dogs, different breeds have different characteristics, just like people. We can not only see this reality in physical appearances, but if we observe different dogs closely, it’s easy to notice how some can be quiet while others can be hyperactive. The same goes for intellectual capabilities. It’s a simple reality that there are smarter dog breeds than others. To help you get an idea, here is a short guide on what are the smartest dog breeds.

The first on the list is the Lhasa apso breed. These dogs were first bred on the Tibetan summits by monks to warn the monastery of any invading intruders that would come. They’re very much revered by the monks so much that they are prominently featured on the national flag.
The second smartest dog is the Border collie. Originating from the English valleys, these hardworking dogs were mainly bred to herd sheep. They’re very smart and easy to train that farmers would most of the time just allow their dogs to herd the sheep come dusk, with them just sitting back to watch. That’s truly an achievement to be included in the what are the smartest dog breeds list.

And third to complete the list, is the German shepherd. Although it’s one of the newer breeds to be developed, this breed of dog can now be seen as a staple in the workforce, notably in crime and investigations departments. With their keen sense of observation and scent, they’re relied on to help the police force sniff out bombs and drugs.

So there you have it. We hope we have answered your question: what are the smartest dog breeds, with this simple straightforward article.
