Such an intelligent breed - I don't think I've ever seen a 9 week old puppy be able to sit yet alone come, play fetch and paw! Can't wait until I adopt my own German Shepherd :)
I remember when my GSD was this small. They are really brave even as pups. One time I jumped in a lake and at as big as this one is he jumped in after me!
Nice, you're a good trainer! I love the phone tracking video. To anyone in the comments section training your dogs, make sure you don't practice commands in the same order every time! My Rottweiler puppy started to anticipate, instead of obey. I'd do 'sit, lay down. sit, lay down. sit, lay down.' After 5 minutes of that, she'd just lay down when I said 'sit'.
Very nice GSD pup & what an amazing job you seem to be doing with her so far. The people who get these puppies, because they are just just such a cute little thing. They take them home and all everybody wants to is "snuggle" with the new family "toy". Then when their cute fuzzy "toy" get up 40-50 lbs & wants to eat their expensive leather furniture they suddenly don't understand why that "damn dog" won't listen to them. so it is very nice to see someone doing such a good job from the start.
Puppies are very easy to train with food. Put a treat in your hand, such as a small piece of hot dog, and with a down motion, put your hand in front of the puppy on the floor while saying "down". Once the puppy is in down position, give her the treat immediately.
There's no way to stop biting at this age. As a matter of fact, it will continue until your puppy is about 7 months old, when he has permanent teeth. You can put him in a crate when he starts biting, or give him a toy to bite instead. The only thing you don't want to do is to punish him. Good luck.
im jealous... my puppy Alice is the same age and she only follows the command "come"... sometimes... other than that she is very good at biting and chewing on my hands and pants.
@cameronmpear well for the biting at you. i suggest every time he does that kinda like squeak real loud my a loud yelp noise. and that should tell him "hey your hurting me". Cause as a pup when they play, when his litter mates yelp that;s what there saying, "ow, you hurt me". Repetition is key. and when he plays to rough with ur other dogs, give a stern no. don't yell it. just a stern "No" then remove him to another room. until he calms down. Repetition is key again. Hope it helps!
@TheEvolvedMind No clicker. One important thing to teach your puppy is to wait. Every time you give your puppy food, tell him to "wait" few seconds and then allow him to approach his food. This "wait" command will come in handy later. Don't do the "paw" thing; it's cute but useless.
@vBulletinzz Difference in what aspect? Puppies from the same litter may have different sizes and grow at different rates, but end up about the same size.
My puppy will be 9 weeks in a few hours. He's learned "sit", but I seem to have hit a wall in terms of other kind of commands, like lie down, paw, wait and things like that. Mind telling a little more as to how you taight Flame so well? Did you use a clicker?
Rotkop if you can please answer my question. I just got a German shepherd about a month ago the puppy is 2 months old right now, did you had any trouble with your dog suck as biting you? If you did can you please tell me how you stop or taught Ed how to stop biting you, because my puppy bites and I tried different methods but they don't work for me.
Can you give me some tips on teaching these commands? because my 9 week german shepherd does not listen and i dont know if he is learning the commands i teach him like sit and down.
i have a three month old german shepherd akita mix and he is drving me crazy he learned sit and lay down very quickly but he bites me and NOTHINGGG scares him and he keeps annoying my three chihuahuas cause he is too rough with them any suggestions? I take him for a loooong walk twice a day and some times run him wiht a bike and nothing tires him out!!! please help
@sistershow123456 It looks like a beautiful German Shepherd puppy, but I have never seen such a young doberman. They are great dogs also, but not quite as easily trained as a GSD.
I'm so madd my dog was that little (and i missed it she's a girl) because i got her when she was 4 weeks old she was still cute but now she's in the teething face i'm talking about everything she can chew is her toy. Help me please it's hurting
No, Actually U Buy Him One Of Those Things So He Can Keep Biting It , The Reason Why He Is Biting Is That His Teeth Are Growing And They Hurting Him LOL So Buy Him One Of The Toys
+LunaTune well mine is 7 weeks and it's bigger than that one!! My female had 12 puppies and all of them were big!! Idk she looks to small but all puppies r different I guess
I miss my big girl's puppy days. They grow so quickly. My GSD is my angel.
Such an intelligent breed - I don't think I've ever seen a 9 week old puppy be able to sit yet alone come, play fetch and paw! Can't wait until I adopt my own German Shepherd :)
Nice job with Flame! She's doing really well for 9 weeks of age. I bet she's come a long way since then.
I remember when my GSD was this small. They are really brave even as pups. One time I jumped in a lake and at as big as this one is he jumped in after me!
Flame, you are adorable and very well mannered. Your training has been very very good.
flame is one of the most well trained puppy i have seen
Nice, you're a good trainer! I love the phone tracking video.

what a good puppy you have. and flame is a very good name.
i have to say that your puppy knows very much disipline, and its adorible. :)
Such an adorable puppy!!!
Congratulation sir very nice work !!!!!
Wow awesome vid!! My GSD wasn't nearly so obedient when he was 9 weeks old (he's 5 now)!

Nothing to worry about then. Good luck with your pup.

GSDs r so smart.
My gsd puppy is 8 weeks and knows how to sit..down and give paw in german :)
Thank you :)

@MrJdog212 try chewy bones and sticks made for puppies,nylon bones are meant to be really good for a teething puppy too
wow very nice i have 4 weeks puppies please tell me how to provide the training? pls pls pls pls pls
@LilJokker3 The biting will continue until it's at least 6 months old. Be patient and use a lot of repetition with food as incentive.
@TheEvolvedMind No clicker. One important thing to teach your puppy is to wait. Every time you give your puppy food, tell him to "wait" few seconds and then allow him to approach his food. This "wait" command will come in handy later. Don't do the "paw" thing; it's cute but useless.
@WellCrazyJordan You can start training as early as the puppy is weaned. Training sessions should be 5-10 minutes only.
@IVALEXR I trained my puppy two or three times a day, about 10 minutes each. Good luck.
@TheMermaidlover2010 8-9 weeks as soon as possible to form a bond.
I have one the same age is it normal for them to curl their tail
