I just brought my new puppy home from a 700km trip. I asked the breeder to put in a blanket in the litter a day or so before I picked the dog up, just like Will did. The puppy also slept most of the way with the blanket and once we got home I put the blanket in his crate and he went into the crate 1st time, no worries. He now goes to lie in his crate by himself without me asking or directing him. I credit this to Will's blanket hack, it really works...thanks Will.
He's so adorable. Can't wait to see how he grows and gets trained.
I've had a gsd. The absolute BEST, most loyal dogs ever. Someone poisoned him. I have had several mastiffs, great dogs, good personalities, but medical issues. I now have a corso with epilepsy. Like you, I will be avoiding mastiffs from now on. Hurts my heart, but I'm 65 and another gsd will probably be my last dog. I'll be searching for a puppy as soon as I retire because I'd like to be home with it to train it.
GSD are great dogs. But If your interested in a very intelligent and endlessly loyal breed that are generally very healthy with long lives, consider the Australian Cattle Dog.
@@missscarlet9054an ACD for a 65 year old is a wild take
@@ArtieBoi3000 If they are active enough to properly raise and exercise a German shepherd, they are probably dedicated owner enough to raise an ACD properly.
@@missscarlet9054 that’s true, my main worry is the genetic need to herd. It’s and to but I haven’t seen anyone own an ACD without a ranch, space to run and cattle. They’re high drive and job oriented whereas German Shepherds are more owner oriented.
@ArtieBoi3000 They are huge in agility and canicross. I own one in a suburb (fenced on back yard on about .3 acres) and we exercise. A lot. We walk every day, trailrun in good weather, and do agility 3 times a week. But really, they are NEVER physically tired. But you will probably never meet a dog so eager to learn and train. And that's the breed secret, exhaust their brain, and you have a calm dog. I've raised an Ameerican Eskimo with the same method.
And PS, I move a lot, but I'm far from an athlete. I've lost over 100 pounds, and Nelson (my ACD) is my lifelong exercise partner and gym bro.
Reggie is absolutely adorable. This is going to be fun to watch and learn, thank you Will.
I've always had a dog, and only once have I had trouble, but after that experience I want to know EVERYTHING about making this new puppy transition as smooth as possible. I won't be getting a new puppy for a few more years, so I'm in full training mode. I really appreciate watching your videos and this series with Reggie is highly anticipated and so enjoyable. Thank you!
I am on my third day with an 8 week rescue, she is lovely and some of your old videos on puppy biting have helped me a lot! She is a mystery mix large breed but she may have shepherd, and definitely part great pyr I am very happy we are kind of on this journey together I am sure it will be very helpful!! Congrats to Reggie and you (:
I am going to bring our first puppy ever, from the breeder, in next 7-8 days. It will 300km drive, one way. I am glad, I came across your video. It validated few of things that I wanted to make sure of. Super excited for 25th, this year.
I wish I knew about the blanket hack when we went to get our golden retriever pup 3 years ago. He was in the passenger foot well but he was so anxious he kept trying to climb up into my wife's lap and over the center console... Probably the most harrowing 45 min drive of my life 😅
But we got him home safely and your videos helped a great deal in training and raising him into the lovely well behaved dog he is now.
We bring our new puppy Louie home this coming Saturday your videos are more than welcome thank you 🙏
Hi! Been loving your videos. I have had my puppy 10 weeks at home for 5 nights. I’ve been following your videos and I’m hoping you continue showing us how you train your new one for us first time dog owners ❤x
I expect you already know he is food motivated ? If he isnt i will be glued to this new journey of yours .
My last two pups werent into food at all which made training very difficult.
I bought your puppy course for my last pup who is 10months and it didnt help me because of this . She isnt into toys either .
Its not as if im a novice with gsd's .
He’s very very cute! Welcome to the rest of your life Reggie❤❤
That is very sweet, Thank you for including the info about the blanket.
perfect timing, I'm getting a JRT puppy and she'll be coming home first week of November so hopefully by then there will be few videos on settling the puppy in
(she's 5 min drive so bringing her home will be piece of cake but I have another dog and three cats so more on introductions etc. would be much appreciated)
Can't wait to next year when I hopefully get a dog :)
Sully will show he has the patient of an Angel😂❤ GSD will be a handful. But you got this for sure. Just need another robot vaccum😅
Brilliant name! I need awesome name ideas for when I get a lab in a couple years
He will be absolutely adorable and ridiculously easy to train.... until he gets to around 10 months old..... then he'll take a break for a couple of years 😁
How would U do it with a nervous rescue dog ?
Ive had 2 gsd they are amazing dogs so so loyal and easy to train
Great start for training. It's been awhile.
this is so perfect, literally getting a gsd puppy next week
Nice University of Texas hat as well! Love your content 🫡
I absolutely love him. I had a Belgian shepherd,I don’t think he was full breed but he was the most beautiful looking dog. Looked a bit like this puppy as a puppy except he a,ways had ears that stuck up. Always got comments on him, his looks, how he looked like a wolf, how good looking he was. Was always asked what type of dog is he bc he didn’t quite look like a German Shepard. One guy picked what type of Belgian shepherd he was apparently there are 4 types.
Will, thanks for these videos as they are incredibly helpüfull.
Beautiful boy enjoy him. 👍💙
Omg Congratulations 😍❤
What was the food and drink situation on the 3+ HR trip home as I have a 4 HR trip back and have no idea!😅
Thanks for this useful information 😊 Cheers
How long is a good wait time to give them a potty break on the way home?? So how long should one wait before deciding the pup won't be doing potty??
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈
That is the least anxious German shepherd that I’ve ever seen haha
We are buying a puppy which is 500 miles + from where we live. We are not fans of such long distance driving. So, have to consider flying or even the train. This is a big decision. Because he will be quite small I think we would be able to travel with him in a pet carrier which can stay with us on the flight, which is probably about 1 1/2 hours. Any thoughts on that scenario if you have a minute or two to respond.
I did the train . It went brilliant
i drive and my husband sits in the back seat with the puppy and the puppy has 2 blankets on the floor so they are comfy. we also always bring the other dogs and they cuddle with them. i always make sure the other dogs accept the puppy before i decide on a puppy. they have to pass the mutt and aussie test lol
k9 behaviorist is missing 😮😢
I found the link to the perfect puppy course in my email and I sent an email to fenrir canine leader and got a demon mailer. When I went to the login for my course it said the domain site might be for sale. So how is it i access the course I paid for?
Hi, is it possible to bring a puppy into a home that has only ever had cats? We have 3 cats over the age of 5 but we've moved to the countryside and would love to have a dog as well, maybe a gsd. Certainly one that was trained to have beautiful manners and obedience that seems very possible if all this great information is followed. The cats seem terrified of adult dogs, what would you advise please? Thank you.
I had 5 cats when I brought my first GSD pup home, I wouldn't recommend it with an adult dog but a puppy is fine. I've always fed the cats first to show they are higher up the hierarchy but don't know if this is really necessary, a pup will be inquisitive and eventually playful with cats but they will put him in his place themselves. On my 2nd GSD now and just like the last, he sees the cats (sadly only 2 of them now) as part of his pack and will protect them with his life!
Thank you, that's very reassuring. @@Just_James_79
Why put your new puppy on the grass at a service station, 100% guarantee that other dogs have been there so whats the point if the puppy hasn't had all his jabs?
Cause it needs to piss and shit??? Just cause it hasn’t had all its jabs don’t mean it’s gonna die it’s safe to do so unless you instantly start walking him every day without his jabs
GSD are great but the shedding is a major disqualifier.
What if we don’t have grass but rocks outside?
