- 24 Hours with an 8 Week Old German Shepherd Puppy.
We picked up a GSD and documented a full 24 hours with our new puppy! From getting up every 2 hours, playing all day and leaning to train Zeus. He has been keeping us very busy, and has become an awesome little member of the family. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Thank you for this. I lost my two German Shepherds, Olympia and Czarina, both 12 yrs, within 2-1/2 months of each other this year. I had them both since they were 10 wks old. This has brought back wonderful memories. I adopted a GSD, in March of this year. He was 9 mons and I was the 4th owner in 7 months of his life. What happens when people get in over their heads and overwhelmed by a GSD puppy. My other GSD I adopted last month, age 5 yrs. I miss the baby stage, but God has blessed me with two more beautiful GSDs who needed a home (and they are given plenty of love.)
Sorry to hear about the loss of your German Shepherds!
They are such beautiful dogs and it’s so great that you continue to adopt them. I think a lot of people don’t do enough research when getting them. Someone had Zeus for a week before deciding to re home him!
Wow. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I had to let my 12yo go in early Nov. Had her since 6weeks.
I also adopted a 4-5yo GSD at the beginning of Dec. Pretty ironic.
While I really wanted another Czech/DDR puppy, I just have too much on my plate right now to put in the time required (Read: Time REQUIRED) to end up with the GSD you when you start with a puppy. I'm just happy I was able to find a GSD rescue that is settling in really well and loves to train/learn.

Words cannot describe how cute this pupper is
He is such a cutie 😍
puppy* pupper isn’t a thing
Just got my beautiful little German shepherd puppy 5 days ago. I am exhausted but worth it because every time I see him looking at me with his tail wagging i just melt and feel like a kid again. Can't wait for his next potty brake. 🐶🐕
How exciting! Make the most of every moment because before you know it they get huge!!
They are such beautiful dogs and learn so quickly so the toilet training doesn’t take to long - trust me!
But yes it’s exhausting, and can test your patience at times but it’s so worth it!
@@annapakay having a puppy is like a sin or dauther baby's are like this so it's the same thing I say meditate every now and then to control the zen.
Enjoyed this video so much. Always good to see what you're dealing with before one's in the thick of things so you can prepare as much as possible. Thanks!
beautiful puppy. best mom ever. lucky puppy
Oh my goodness so a little cutie ❤❤ ❤❤❤
Oh my, he is so cute! I wish he stays this cute forever
I know!! He has grown so fast
@@annapakay q
Such a smart boy!
Loved the video..keep them coming. Thank you ❤️
💛cute!!!🤗🌀🌀🌀~~~ thanks for sharing all this cuteness in your new puppy!🌀🙏💛✔️
Cool video. Not sure who's cuter, you are the pup! 😘
So cute ❤️ it's like seeing my GSD when she was a little puppy. Now she's 9 months. I'm glad the potty training is over but worth it 😂
I know right! He is now about 6 months and is huge compared to what he was! So weird to look back on ❤️
@@annapakay wow
extremely high quality video, you deserve way more subs!
My GSD pup is already 14 weeks old, we picked her up at 8 weeks. I have three kids and it feels like time flies with them, but with our pup you really have to cherish every moment of their you because of how damn fast they grow lol.
Yes! They grow so quick! I can’t believe he was ever that small!
@@annapakay how is he now please show us ajd please add some 80's music like bananarama
I want a shepherd so much. I grew up with these amazing dogs but I havent had one in about ten years.
If you have a home of your own you could adopt one yourself. Just a idea.
@@goz614 that's the plan, once I get a few projects finished
It doesn't get any cuter than this.
Just on time I have a Gs and boy does he drive us crazy at night 😄. I thought my dog was the only one biting my shoes 🤣
My 2nd GSD, first one lived 14 years not a single vet visit except for injections as pup, my new one is 13 weeks old, we feed her kibble with joint supplement + good quality dog meat, check ingredients for wheat and corn, not great for the dog. She gets fish twice a week pilchards, sardines or maceral, egg and milk mixed and a small bit of natural yogurt. The fish is great for their coat and pups need calcium so egg and milk are good in small doses. We are introducing raw food soon into her diet.
I got my akc german sheppard yesterday and she is so smart at 9 weeks old
Now I have 1 German Shepherd puppy, from Thailand
I have an almost 9 week German Shepard pup. He looks so different. I'm learning more and more as I research and read about them. My boy has alot more fur and his ears haven't flopped. He is pretty big. He's akc registered. Wonder why he looks different 💁 Your pup us soo cute😍
Just got my GSD 45 days! 💌
great video man
Too cute....😍
So glad I’m getting one of these in like a month 😆😆
Hi Anna - I am picking up my GSD puppy on March 23 (that's when he will be 8 weeks old). I have had many dogs, but this will be my first GSD. I'm starting to get a plan going in regards to time spent on training and such. My question is, what is all in the food that you give Zeus in this video?
Thank you!
Shane
Cute puppy I also have two german shepherds best dogs
They are the best!
your dog is sooo cute i cant wait to get my german sheperd/border collie puppy soon
That’s gonna be a smart dog
@@akamaverick6205 she is smart
They are such amazing dogs! Do you have your puppy yet?
@@annapakay yes
Mine is currently five months old, and I describe her as an elephant without a trunk full of energy, wild and absolutely dangerous. She’s already broken my foot tripping me going up the stairs because she had to be first.😳… now I let her go first every time I don’t even try to get near the door until she’s in it. She’s also learned to jump on my back. If I turn my back to her note, I am only 5 foot she is already 3 ft.+ on her hind legs … I have a Shepherd collie mix, and I have rescued several shepherds from shelters but they were always full grown. I had no idea they were this crazy when they were young.😳
@3:45 Zeus has something "bitey" to chew on.
I got my solid black GSD Bella in June 2017 when she was around eight weeks old. She has grown to about 30 kg.
Hey had so many teething toys but never touched them! Only liked soft toys.
They grow so fast! He was only about 5kgs there and now he is almost 30kg!
We are getting a German shepherd puppy. We get to pick her up this weekend! She is 9 weeks old! I’m already so in love with her!
Tgere amazing easy trainable dogs and so smart what makes them do great from other dogs is that there so easy to do.
❤❤❤❤love❤❤❤❤
First thing with any puppy, show it where to go poo/pee. Stay with the puppy and when it goes successfully give praise and reinforcement. It may take a month or two but you will have a house broken dog.
This is our second night with our gsd he’s 8 weeks old it’s a lot different but we love him so much already
They are so precious but needy.
Damn right. Sometimes can be klutzy when they are a year old, but if you've already had experience with handling a dog, German Shepherd's are SO worth it, no matter what the internet or UA-cam says.
It takes patience like handling a human infant/baby, including teaching what they should and shouldn't do. But wow are they so worth it in the end so long as you love and respect them, they'll do the same for you.
Be stern with them when have to, but do so calmly. If you're excited/frustrated, they'll pick up on it and they will in turn get excited as well.
Super cute puppy! Did you set alarms for potty breaks at night or did Zeus let you know when he wanted to go (whining, pawing etc)? I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up, I'm a pretty deep sleeper! :D
Hey! I’m such a deep sleeper so I was worried about that as well! So the first two weeks I set alarms. Started out being every 1.5 hours, then once he was sleeping for 3 hours at a time through the night I turned the alarms off but he will always make noise if he wants to go out
@@annapakay that's his way at saying I have to use bathroom you know in meet the parents Robert trained the cat to use the toilet.
🥰
My gsd tails sometimes turns into a fullring but other time it stays on ground low so does this make my gsd a mix bread?
I get my 8week GS Saturday and have been trying to decide what to feed her... what was used in the video??
I just got my pup Sunday before last.. she was 6 weeks.. but already eating regular dog food (she was stealing her parents, haha.) she's almost 8 weeks now, but watching this video is almost like looking in a mirror. haha.
Just goty bby... She's 8 weeks today... She was the runt.... Any tips?
Dexter is 10 weeks old now so I can relate to this 🤗
When you take him to the garden, does he eat grass / sand ?. I ‘m having a time stopping that.
And do you feed three times a day or every 3-4 hours until night sleep ?
Btw nice video 🤗
Hi, make the most of Dexter while he is still little! They get big so quickly!
We never really had any issues with him eating grass or dirt for a while he was digging in dirt but that didn’t last too long!
We were feeding him 3 times a day, breakfast being his main meal - which is kangaroo and dog biscuits and his lunch and dinner is just biscuits.
Hi any tips on how to introduce your puppy home?
I got mine at 4 weeks old they were so young!!!
Aw wow! Hope they were ok! Such beautiful puppies
I have also a 8 week old thats next to me!
What were you feeding it
Seems like lots of work to have a GSD
Potty training is a major problem for me my pup is 2 months and 1 week old German shepherd it's so hard to get him to potty outside
What do you feed him?
Its working line german shepherd??
I’m picking up a female German Shepard next Friday! ❤ 🐕
I work full time job but i want one
Brought my girl home and in to bed with me at night. Never have kenneled her unless i was gone too long. She is spoiled! I still get up 3 times a night and early in morning to let her out! I know i could change this but i think itll change soon enough. Shes 10 months now. She’ll do anything for a treat! Shes food guards is all. I dont like that and discourage it. Shell get over it. Sometimes barks for excitement only which cracks me up. Runs outside bark bark bark and nothing and nobody there! I dont like it very much but again….think she’ll settle down later. Even though i brushed her since a baby she still follows the brush with her mouth. I must not be the best trainer! Again. I think shell drip this in time. In fact she probably will! They get big but are still puppy. She has many good traits too! She listens. She doesnt tear up her toys. Just paper sometimes. She doesnt bother me to play with her too much. She “waits, not now” nicely and she doesnt pull on leash hardly ever. She is one born with anxiety and on top of that she has itchies. They are a lot better with omega three and quercitin. Still want to find the answer to its cause more. No wonder she has anxiety! Shes an all black long nosed girl. German shepherd that must have Belgian shepherd ( not teruvian….google) which arnusually smaller. Shes gonna be at least 85 lbs some day. Love …..you get puppy and only know basically id they are super high drive distractable crazy or able to settle and focus…..after that its all a developing surprise.
Wen do you sleep?!!
What is that food for dinner? Looks like mayonaise??
What do you feed him with? That’s a huge breakfast! Mine is almost 8weeks and he is eating his pedigree food only. He is so tiny. What brand would you recommend? Thanks
Hi! We now feed him the Royal Canin German Shepherd puppy food and raw kangaroo.
At the time we were weaning him off what the breeder was feeding him which was beef, rice and veggies.
We also add Greek yoghurt every so often, which helps with upset stomachs.
I would highly recommend the Royal Canin as it is breed specific! :)
Thank you, I’ll check it out.
Whee can i purchase a gs puppy for a fair price ? Dont want to sell my truck to b able to afford to buy one. Great video..
Do you always feed outside?
Is feeding inside and then going potty 15-20 minutes after ok?
And is feeding 3 times a day plus minimal training treats ok?
Hey!
We always feed inside now - at that time we were working out what would be best for us.
If you’re not to sure on how much you’re feeding I’d say speak with you vet, but they burn off the food so quickly anyways that we had no issues feeding 3-4 times a day with sometimes 2 training sessions a day.
Boiled chicken is a good option for training treats as it is healthy and they love it! :)
@@annapakay thank you for responding so quickly, bringing my boy home this coming weekend and I’m continuing to learn as I’m sure I will through the entire process.
Ok, so boiled chicken is a great option. I’ll make sure to add that into the rotation. What about treats from the stores and such?
Also, socialization, when your pup was smaller would you let a lot of people just touch him or were you selective on that ?
I’ve already payed out a dog socialization schedule with some close friends that have dogs and other friends that have cats, I figure the sooner he sees these elements the more comfortable he will be with them when he’s a big boy
How exciting! Yes, I was constantly googling things when we first got Zeus! And i think that’s the best thing, trying to learn as much as you can. A lot of websites have conflicting information but I think just working out what works best for you and your pup - because you will know him best!
Boiled chicken we found works great for teaching new tricks as he loved it so much and still does! Then we would use store bought treats when we would go over what he already knows. I started out buying the ‘better quality’ treats from the pet store when we were training more consistently. But now we just buy a cheaper packet from the grocery store.
When he was younger, and still now, we are happy for anyone to come up and pet him, (it’s a bit annoying when they don’t ask), but we think it’s good for him to meet a lot of people. Especially young kids, as we want him to build up a bit of patience and i think it helped him become a bit more gentle.
It’s a great idea to get them meeting different dogs/animals, different ages, sizes, breeds.
We held off going to dog parks for a while, but we made sure he had a lot of interaction with friends dogs or dogs we would meet on our walks.
It sounds like you have a pretty good idea! I think your new puppy will be very happy and loved!!
@@annapakay you are a god send!!! Thank you so much for the great info and feedback. Yeah, I’m going to aim for greatness, the breed has so much potential and they are so smart I just want to maximize that potential.
And yes, I will have my “resting mean guy” face on so hopefully that thwarts would be “random petters” lol I myself never touch a persons pup and or dog that I don’t know because to me it’s insane to do so but people do and I HATE that.
Again, thanks, now I’m even more confident about the whole process.
What treats are you using while training?
We use boiled chicken when training a new trick, as he loves it! And when going over older tricks we just use packet puppy training treats from the local pet store.
Love you Karli! 😘

The cute stage…then about 3 months later velociraptor period begins and lasts for 2 years….
Dog eats better than me 😯
Your puppy is so much more calm than mine My German Shepard ace is a crackhead
Haha he has his moments, believe me!
But he has a good temperament, usually pretty chill :)
They have such big personalities!
@@annapakay yes and I don’t know about yours but mines a cry baby big dog on the outside but a softy on the inside
Yes! Same! He is the biggest softy. It’s so funny - he is very vocal and very dramatic.
But loves the attention from everybody!
@@annapakay yess
I remember....🤣
What are you feeding him ?
When he was that age we were feeding him what the breeder was - mince, rice and veg with his kibble. But now he’s a bit older we have switched it to raw kangaroo with a product called ‘complete mix’ and Kibble from royal canin. We also add Greek yoghurt to his food every so often
Can you please send me a link for these products ?

Mine is 6 weeks old now and What kind of food do you give them at breakfast and dinner time
Hi, in this video we’re feeding cooked beef mince with rice and veg, with dog biscuits. But we switched that pretty quickly - for breakfast he gets raw kangaroo mince with Royal Canin dog biscuits and his lunch and dinner he just gets the biscuits.
Every so often he will get Greek yoghurt on his biscuits, which he loves and it’s great for his stomach
Our
so you don’t use a crate? i really dont like the idea of crates but most training videos use them :/
Hi,
No we don’t use a crate. For the first 2 weeks we used a ‘play pen’ which was very large only for the night time. While toilet training that way if he needed to pee in the night he would make noise rather than peeing by the door. But when we leave the house for long periods of time he is free in the house and he has never destroyed anything, never has accidents in the house.
I don’t think you should feel pressured to crate train - I understand why people do it but it wasn’t something I wanted to do and we have had no issues :)
@@annapakay ahh thank you so much! ive never had my dogs use crates but its been around 10 years since ive had a puppy around! i’m only 22 so it was my parents who did most of that work 😅 picking up my bby next friday! thanks for the tip!!
No worries :)
Enjoy your new puppy! I’m very excited for you 😊
Hi do you sale your German shepherds puppy I want to buy
When I move out I’m getting a germane shepherd
Don't understand why GSD's lose their cuteness when they grew up
Maybe because they don't
Please how do you potty train ❤️
Hi, I think consistency is key!
Puppies can only hold their bladder for a certain amount of time. So during the night I had alarms to remind me to take him outside, and during the day I would take him outside every 2-3 hours. We praised him every time he went outside.
He had very little accidents in the house and he was toilet trained within the first 2 weeks! Patience and consistency :)
Thanks Soo much ♥️
Don't take puppy out. To pee after 9pm...
Don't let it sleep during day...
puppies need naps, just dont let them sleep too close to bedtime
why not? puppies sleep a lot of hours per day and they need to pee before they go to bed so accidents don't happen
@@mollyxoxo6312 yea they need to sleep during the day, just not like 3 hours before bedtime to help them sleep though they night. also, part of the potty trainign process includes taking them out every 2 or 3 hours so they dont have accidents. (if you couldn't tell, i'm agreeing with you)
Whatever she's feeding him looks gross. Probably trying to make him vegan.
Haha definitely not vegan! That food he was being fed was us weaning him off what the previous owner was feeding him. And he gets a nice bit of kangaroo mince every morning!
@@annapakay what kangaroo mince is that?
