I had a melanistic german shepherd, (all black) named Sam. He was my baby, my pride and joy, and he was perfect. Perfect recall, perfect outs, perfect command obedience, his heel was on point, and i trained him myself, with the help of your channel and a couple others
Could feel the pain when you talked about Falko. Sorry my man. Thanks for another great video though, I've been taking the knowledge to heart. Been crating my Shep which I think is bi color, so he isn't playing all day with my other dog (collie) and your advice helped for sure. He responds much better now, comes to me when they are playing hardcore. Runs right over. It is a great feeling
I love German Shepards. I also grew up with one. His name was Kanga. It always amazes me how they are so smart and loyal. We now have a brown working Lab. She’s 15 and is still very energetic, my husband would say crazy.
Any man who loved his Dad and the German Shepherd Dog is real man to me Recently I lost my sole companion GSD and I am lost without him Love your channel young man
I parted ways with my GSD Kemper last week. He was a Black and Silver, amazingly beautiful dog and super smart. It was almost like he knew what I was going to do before I did it - he was that tuned in to me. He taught me so much about loyalty and dedication. He set the bar pretty dang high and left some big paws to be filled. Thank you for these videos. I'm absorbing as much info as I can to do as much as I can for my next GSD.
I absolutely love the sable. There is just something about them. Getting my new working line pup in approximately 5-6 months. Really looking forward to training again.
Interesting regarding all those colours. However two of them are not allowed in Germany as a breed standard, white and anything with too much much white markings, thus Panda would be a no-no as well.
I know this is an older video, but I just found you and your channel about a week ago. I had to subscribe once I saw your training methods. I used to train bird dogs and squirrel hunting dogs and I had a German Shepherd that I bought from a Policeman friend K9 officer at the time. That HSD could read my mind I swear. His name was Rommel and he was the smartest dog I've ever worked with. He just wanted to work for me and make sure Zi was safe. People that have never owned a properly trained GSD have no idea how smart they are.. I wish I would have had an E collar. Where do you sell your e collars and leashes, etc? Dogs? Best regards and God bless. ❤. God speed on your business. You deserve great profits because of your hard work. ❤

I have a 6 months old German Australian Shepard so I've been told, I had no clue about the energy level of both breeds of dogs lol, I just took her in because some lady was giving them away and was being fed human baby food. I was just wondering if anyone knew how hard this breed of dog is to train. She seems to pick up on basic commands easily, took me just a few days for that. But now I'm working with her on her leash. I'm not a dog trainer just can't afford professional training so I'm trying to do it myself
I have an 11 month old German/Australian.... he is GAME ON!!! He's SO MUCH FUN. My challenge is to get him to STOP coming to me. I haven't peed alone in 9 months. If I move in the chair, he jumps up... "I'm ready. What are we going to do?" He's a blast!! Smart smart smart And GORGEOUS
We had 2 Sheps. First a girl from a shelter at the age of 7 approximately. She didnt really had an guard instinct, came from an old lady. But she hated small dogs. Second Shep after she passed was a boy, also from a shelter. He was all black colored and came from a farm. He was more chill with other dogs, but he truly had an eye on everyone walking in front of the house. They both we're completely gentle to our cat's and even to our guinea pigs and rabits. Just can recommend getting a sheppy friend. I miss you Callas and Lesti ❤
Got a 3 month puppy and he’s probably the smartest/ mischievous thing on this planet 😂😂 but seriously he’s a sweet heart and love attention they just aren’t for the lazy I will say !!!
My favorite breed. I've had two before and they were the best dogs I ever had and for different reasons. In my opinion the GSD is one of the best all around dog breeds. It can do it all if raised right.
You said that you didn’t expect the owners to continue the training. Is training something that has to be a life long thing with dogs? I always thought you just trained them once then they remembered forever is that wrong? Really enjoying your videos thank you.. I’m planning on getting a German shepherd in a year or 2.
"Training" is a game to them. They live and love it. It's bonding. You'll always find new fun things you want to see them do. It's not work.... you're spending time with them anyway, might as well teach them.
Thanks for the excellent video. Could you go over the differences, in your experience, between male and female German Shepherds (in terms of trainability, bonding with owner, overall personality, etc.)?
We had 2 Shep's, a girl and a boy, but from the shelter so didn't raise them as puppies. But I would say from character, the girl was more obedient but still had her will. The boy took bit longer to act on command, but seemed more determined. Great friends, only can recommend, I miss them
quick question , i have a german sheperd of about year and 6 months, never trained but raised around a family and is pretty well disciplined in somethings but is super aggressive outside the house, is it too late to train her ?
@@AmericanStandardK9 Well I don’t wanna argue with anybody but sables come in many many different shades if you look up the sable color and you pull one of the hairs it will have two different colors on it I’ve had light sables medium sables and actually black sable‘s
If you do a board and train on a puppy i know how important shots are do you get those done or do the owners come and pick them up to get the shots done? my vet told me with parvo being so bad not to take the puppy further than our yard before shots were complete.
I know I’m a little late to the channel haha but I love you’re videos so I have a question for you that I couldn’t get a clear answer on. So my question is.. I have a 2 year old husky (male) and we want to get this Germans shepherd that’s 7 (female) would this be a good idea or could you make a video on the pros and cons?
Would you rather have a dog breed that is know to be more aggressive so you are aware or to think your getting a chill dog and letting your guard down.
mine will be 2 on mothers day i have not had the time to work him. he comes from working lines he gets exited when we have guests come over and he wants to get in there face what can i do to stop that?
Find the time to train him. Give him a better job to do and make him very good at that job and teach him there are rewards for doing a good job and consequences for doing a bad job. His jobs could be to sit, stay, down, placeboard etc
@@AmericanStandardK9 i find him my curtains staring out the front window. he has worn a path around my fence line where he patrols when he is out side. he rides well in the car and fireworks don't seem to bother him. he is my 5 year old sons best freind
Would you recommend a GSD in a warm climate like Florida? I'm probably moving there and would love a GSD but am afraid the dog would be miserable in the hot weather with such a warm coat.
I rescued a 5 month old female GSD. This one has a high prey drive with birds and cats. She has never had any training and was kept in a small cage. She is small for her age and not sure if she will obtain her full size potential. Still a loey dog that needed a home. . I am working with the basics. She is doing well in the week I have had her. She is now house potty trained, sits, recall is improving, but lunges at small animals during our walk. What are some good tips for this reaction?
I have my first three months German Shepherd. I take good care of him, but he bites all the time even if I correct him and give him a toy instead… Do I miss anything? Or is it normal for his age? I have a three years old kid who wants to play with him but so afraid because he did bite him before… Thank you in advance 🙏🏼
@@mininolito1460 Yeah, just keep correcting the unwanted behaviors and he will learn when he grows up...walk him three times a day 15 to 20 mins each. a german shepherd needs regular activities to keep him in good shape. Good luck :)
when he want s my son in law to pet him my son in law i emedately makes him lay down. when i am trying to work with him and i tell him to sit he goes to the ground how can i undue that?
Its actually not recommended to ever shave a double coated dog down. That dog gets a bath and brush only. Hot spots are from them not getting dry enough. If they swim or something they need to be well dried. Or hot spots can become an issue. Hopefully that sheds some light. Neverrrr shave a german shepherd or any other dpuble coated dog

I can speak German Shepherd as well! I used to breed them when i was 15-18. Well, my uncle and i did.
Fantastic job. Really impressed

It’s generally agreed that the GSD is the third smartest dog. (at least in “working intelligence”)
Could you please do a video on Dobermanns? Thank you :)

Is the shedding manageable ?
Thank you
Thank you
I am wondering how easy or hard the obedience training of a Rhodesian Ridgeback will be. Do you have any experience with this race?
Chance is a Sable GSD. And being a Sable, will change color several times before his adult Color would emerge.
I wanna fly out to meet you. Really appreciate these videos

Chance is pretty cute!
I have a German Shepard its 7 months old and he always knew not to poop inside💩

Chance looks sable also
He's black and cream. Sable is typically pretty dark and very wolflike look. It's hard to mistake.
@@AmericanStandardK9 Well I don’t wanna argue with anybody but sables come in many many different shades if you look up the sable color and you pull one of the hairs it will have two different colors on it I’ve had light sables medium sables and actually black sable‘s
Look up on UA-cam sable male German Shepherd Apex that’s a stable Shepard I would say medium or medium dark
@@watchmoivies123 I've been around sables my whole life. Neither are sable
It is a black and silver i too rought it was sable look it up its just his black is like a blanket so it looks almost like sable

Hello from Texas 🤠
I know I’m a little late to the channel haha but I love you’re videos so I have a question for you that I couldn’t get a clear answer on. So my question is.. I have a 2 year old husky (male) and we want to get this Germans shepherd that’s 7 (female) would this be a good idea or could you make a video on the pros and cons?
What age would u recommend starting prong collar training for a GSD?
I remember he stated in a video for all dogs to start prong collar training as soon as you get them.
Use choke chain collar first and then transition to prong collar closer to 1 year old
wowww ONYX LOOKS AMAZING........ RIP🙏
Are german shepherds and huskies a great duo?
Would you rather have a dog breed that is know to be more aggressive so you are aware or to think your getting a chill dog and letting your guard down.

my german shepherd bites if you have food in your hand how could i fix that?
What level was the e-collar set on when you corrected the sudden stop ? Trying to learn as much as I can.
Where can I hire you?
I’ve had a black and silver, and I think they called it a Chinese silver
This shepherd is a sable.
Chance is an absolutely gorgeous guy!
What two collars to guys on Royce?
My opinion of smartest dogs:
1) Poodle
2) Border Collie
3) German Shepherd Dog
Only thing I don't like about what you said is shaving the first dogs coat, that's not good for the dog

For a hot spot yes. As routine grooming NO! Regular brushing and good food will take care of the coat

He looks cream
Not you supporting backyard breeders 😢 and all the tricks are great but he's still going to the bathroom in his crate at this age.
