    Hey guys, I don't really ask to ever share my videos, but please share this one, let's pull together as a community and find Zac the home he needs, the best way we can do that is by getting video seen by as many people as possible!

      I would love to adopt him. However. I'm in the Southern California. I have a Seal Pointe Cat going on 6 who thinks he's a Guard Cat(Dog) and a Korean Jindo mix who is 12 now. Got him at 6mos in 2009 from the shelter, very active and now he considers himself as a lap dog although he is not small. Lol! 65lb wonder!. Anyway, I pray Zac gets a home soon. I love that Zac let's you take the ball back. My Maha Raja won't. So we have to use the ball holder or really trick him very quickly to grab the ball and throw it immediately. Ballbhog for sure! 😅
      Zac and my Raja look alike except Raja is a little smaller in stature.

    I actually found this video a bit emotional. This boy found all his direction and leadership from his working line background and I think him whining and jumping was just pure joy and excitement to be stuck back in it again. It was probably comforting and familiar to have someone use his lure and commands. I hope Zac finds a perfect home.

    A phenomenal GSD. If that's his obedience level after all that time has passed, after all that's happened to him, then imagine after even just a few weeks of dedicated even mere "refresher-type" training to start. That whining is seen in a lot of working GSD's. It just indicates his desire to work/reward. You will clearly be able to teach that "old dog" all sorts of new tricks, to do anything. Wow. What a GSD. I just love him.

He has completely bonded with his human but has also developed separation anxiety with her and she loves him but carries too much fear and anxiety herself because she has created in her mind that being a police k9, he must be aggressive and unapproachable. Great video, I hope Zac has a new forever home.

      I plan on getting a WL gsd as a pet. I think it depends on the lifestyle. I like training my yorkie puppy and she's always on the trail of something being a terrier so plan on doing scent work also she loves hopping and running so might do agility as well (agility when she gets older of course for her joints). I've always wanted a gsd but my mom got me a little yorkie. I love her but rly need a higher energy dog that can handle daily 1+ hour walks and frequent camping. The yorkie will obviously still come I'll just have one of those baby packs to carry her in or mesh dog carrier backpacks so she doesn't miss out when a walk will be to long for her😊

Now I am getting some serious reductions in reactivity due to poor to no training by the last 2 sets of owners. Sad case, found him in his second shelter after 6 months.Who knows how long the first shelter stay was. Very fearful but luckily not aggressive. Now he has a forever home and I have my reason for walking 2.5 miles a day as demanded by my cardiologist.Neither one of us are alone anymore.

    I've owned and trained 5 german shepherds in obedience, i now own a malinois and the last living german shepherd i have left, and the malinois (10 months old) is another beast entirely. This, however, is the end goal, seeing as i don't "work" with dogs professionally (strictly on my own) i just love seeing the dogs happy and fulfilled.
    I train a variety of obedience, search, and some other tricks for mental stimulation. This german shepherd is just incredible. I'm so happy i got to see this, he looks so happy to finally get to do some stuff and have fun with a human again. That's the important part, training your dog isn't always about what you do, but more about doing it together with the human and bonding over it. I love german shepherds, and will probably get one or two more in my life, but i wanted to try malinois since i've heard good things about them.
    I don't know, i'm rambling, i gush about dogs and you seem to genuinely love dogs, so i really like you! I wish you and the dogs you meet all the best!

    I have a male working line GSD, he is 18 months and a joy to train and work with, but he REQUIRES an hour of HARD exercise, and a few miles of walking, one or two sniff sessions, and lots of playing tug. I have time and work mostly from home, and to be honest having him has been awesome for my exercise needs. But I have had to really up my game, get guidance from professional GSD trainers/IPO/IPG participants, and really refine my body language and consistency to be a responsible dog-dad. He is by far the most intense and athletic dog I have ever worked with, even though he is a wriggling whining wagging love-bug on the couch. In abusive or just negligent hands, he could be an extraordinarily dangerous dog, working guarding breeds are not for casual owners, at all. Of course I would want to think "but he is so sweet at home, he is a good dog all the way down to his beefy red paws" and he is, but he is bold, confident, and very assertive. Those great traits are made out of regulated and directed aggression, some breeds have it from birth, others can't be trained to bite. If a new owner can't wrap their brain around the idea that they are responsible for a dog's every need, and equally for everything the dog does in it's entire life, then trouble invariably follows. Being out with my guy lately we see many more terribly behaving dogs than well behaved ones. After getting rushed by twice by two big but different, harmless puppies, Hendrix has been on much higher alert when another dog is approaching. It was only a few days ago, and he isn't going out of control, but he is a dark sable, and to a stranger looks far more threatening when barking than a twitchy doodle.

    I wish i had experience with GSD's id take him in a heartbeat! Even being in the US, no problem. My husband has the experience but is working 12 plus hours a day at the hospital and who knows when that will end. Ill keep tabs though and if his hours change and he gets back to 7-3:30 and Zach is still available, he'll be ours!

    I have a large working Shepherd who was a failed police dog but he's retained a lot of his training. He's amazing. He's been a beautiful family dog with my older children and a wonderful protection dog for our home. I've done agility with him and its been so much fun. If I didn't already have 3 dogs I'd take this lad in a heartbeat but I beg someone to take a chance on him. You will have so much fun and at the end of the day, working dog or not, Shepherds are one of the most loyal and loving breeds out there.

      I am a vet, who got a puppy, like zac. I want to mold him into a service dog, so I can take him with. He is all black and intimidating. I am up for the challenge, looking for training tips. With all the information out there, it is hard to figure out where to start.

    I just adopted a 4yo female German Shepherd who looks exactly like Zac. Amazing animal, but spent a long while in the shelter having been adopted and returned twice for being difficult to handle and being aggressive towards dogs so we're working on that. Zac is beautiful, I hope he finds a good home. Love your channel and hope you keep it up.

    Dang!! He is amazing!! If he was in the US I know someone who breeds and trains working line GSD’s who would take him in a heartbeat💕.
    Just unreal. And to have all his paperwork is even more amazing.
    Question: have you contacted his breeder?? He may take him back and rehome him. Many quality breeders such as his would not hesitate to take back their puppy.
