6 Things You Must Never Do With Your German Shepherd Puppy

[@kittys.2870]

I have always believed feeding your dog only kibble is like feeding your children food only from a box.

[@micheleroyalty4092]

It depends on the kibble. Mine get NutraSource, appropriate for age. They love it. They stay exactly the right weight. It is a lot more expensive than children’s boxed food. Also, my dogs are very healthy.

[@michaelmischko847]

In my exp, kibble brands come in play when your dogs digestion cant handle certain complexes. Your average dog will enjoy basically any kibble and be healthy doing so if you feed it the appropriate amount based on his weight and activities. Theyre dogs, not weak humans.

We’ve got 6 and love them all to bits !!

[@DogsNowChannel]

6!?!? Awesome!

[@micheleroyalty4092]

I have had GSDs for 25 years, 2 at a time. I only bred once and realized it was very intense and required many hours daily. My dogs have all come from German lines, not American. They are healthier, and I have their generic background going back 10 generations of dogs tested for every disease specific to the breed. I used professional trainer for the first 3, and the most recent one. But I socialize then when they are 9 weeks old, have been vaccinated, except for rabies. I take them to pet stores, lumber yards, businesses, even my pharmacy. As pups they are very friendly to all. Mine have naturally protected me, and have saved my life from burglars 3 times. I feed them very high quality kibble, same as my breeder uses. It is expensive, but they love it and it keeps their teeth clean. I have them professional groomed every summer as the blow their coat in warm weather. I have even vacuumed my dogs with a Dyson set made for that purpose. They do shed a lot. Mine travel with me, go into motels, are very good kids as they always let me know when it is time to pee….and poop if need. It is usually 4 times a day. I do share my food with them if it is high protein, like a Turkey sandwich. I never give them sweets. My GSDs are from a great breeder, so I pay 3500-4500 per dog, they come chipped, vaccinated, tested by a Vet. My breeder has the best German breeding dog in California. I am 76 and have no problems with my dogs. They really love me and my friends. I teach children to be calm with them, and not to over excite them. A great dog for people who really want a dog to spend time with and don’t leave them alone too long. While working, they went to Daycare.

[@BaughbeSauce]

They really are great dogs. I have one who was dumped at my work as a 5 month old pup (she was emaciated and abused so stopped growing and was the size of a 10-12 week old). She had to go through some therapy of her own, trust exercises, confidence training. Today Khaleesi is an amazing service dog and helps me in ways I could never imagine. She gave me my independence. She's 8 years old now and topped out at just 45 pounds. Now we are starting again with a new German Shepherd puppy, Vex. She gets to help train the puppy to do just as good a job as she has for me these past 6 years. Vex is a quick study and has already learned a few commands after just 4 days at home. She's got a good teacher and big sister in Khaleesi. Love these dogs. 🥰🐕‍🦺

[@brytonmassie]

The kibble part ties into the fact that if you are going to give them high caloric/rich foods like meat you must also give them plenty of ways to burn that energy.

[@briankessler3501]

Me and wifey have four German Shepherds. Bella: 8 years old on 15 July Clive: 7 years old Trixie Lou: 6 years old Artemis: 2 years old on 17 July Love all of them, best dogs ever.

I also have a gsd dog and her nane us bella❤

[@deborahstone2616]

I fed my GSD puppy raw meat, vegetables, white rice, plain white bread at times torn or cut into small squares, I used to occasionally break a raw egg on the top of his dinner. His had dried dog snacks as a treat during the day, he loved cheese and banana. His coat is immaculate. As for when he did wrong as a puppy, I used to turn my back on him sometimes. With this he would go into another room, give a big sigh and then sulk 🤣 on the positive these dogs deserve love and respect. They are proper dogs and highly intelligent. Also very loyal and protective 🥰

[@xSubParSaucex]

When properly trained, they’re one of the most gentle social dogs you can own. I take my GS Shadow up to the dog park and he plays with any dog large or small. He knows when he can let loose with the pack and when to be more gentle with the smaller dogs

[@kiahmadison8541]

It's a privilege to be owned by a GSD . Sadly I missed puppyhood for my rescue. I was lucky my dog Duke was trained well. If you have a puppy in your life they will almost certainly grow up into a sweet lovely dog if you train them.

[@Cryptophonics]

If the dog owns you your doing it all wrong!

They can be thick as mince & quite soppy until they mature at 2 years old lol , but once they reach that stage ( and are trained properly with kindness /patience ) you will see a highly intelligent, brave, loving, loyal & wonderful dog emerge 👌

Regarding #3; I chastise a friend of mine religiously about doing this to his dog. Now she barely listens to him and favours me (I don't tolerate her insubordinace) and he's left clueless. It's both sad and annoying at the same time. But its like you said before, pets in general can, and often will, be a reflection of you.

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

If your dog is a puppy protect them from extreme weather as it takes awhile for the double coat in. Avoid exercise which strains the joints until they are more fully developed (ie agility). I would also get them used to being handled especially ears, mouth, feet etc to get them accustomed to exams and grooming

[@poorman8608]

Is beef good for gsd puppy

[@golfinguna]

We have a 5 year old. He has never been fed kibble and never will! IF YOU WANT YOUR DOG TO GROW OLD AND STAY HEALTHY. DO NOT FEED KIBBLE! He is fed a raw meat diet with the addition of home made biscuits as an occasional treat and the odd Bonio biscuit. Good training since birth and plenty of daily exercise. A DOG IS NOT A PET. A DOG BECOMES A FAMILY MEMBER AND SHOULD BE TREATED WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION.

Gsds just want a firm loving hand. Theyre insanely easy to train if you can meet these 2 simple points. The loving half is the easy part, most people struggle with the firm part. Theyre either too rough, or too sweet.

[@mathematicalmuscleman]

I adore my GS baby boy puppy Max. Max gets the best fresh meat food each day everyday. Time to build up those muscles Max.

[@enid9911]

Why is it a pain when they don't want to excercise when they get older? It appears to me such ownets would love that when they never wanted to do that in the first place 4:50?

[@elizabethtencer7950]

What do you mean? You don't take him for walks? You're lazy and irresponsible owner? Be more specific if you can, probably you cannot So you should not be wasting life of a beautiful dog.

Go for walk w him let him explore

[@kaitiearmendariz8621]

Just got my first German Shepard/Australian Shepard mix😭

[@Ravzie]

Other than the last bit about exercising “as much as you can”, fairly good advice. Exercise must be limited with these puppies.

[@theclumsyprepper]

They will destroy the house if they are not exercised properly.

[@Ravzie]

@@theclumsyprepper Define ‘properly’. Personally, I don’t want to over exercise a puppy so they have joint problems at an early age - so ‘properly’ to me means following the DVM recommendations.

[@theclumsyprepper]

@@Ravzie That depends on the dog, obviously. My two require totally different levels of exercise for example. The boy is much quieter and likes to just flop and play with his toy, with just am hour or two of exercise while his sister needs hours of activity (pulling five foot tree trunks around the yard, jumping through obstacles, running etc) to get rid of her pent up energy. Each dog is different so "properly" will look different for each of them.

[@swk38]

bright light, get them wet, and feed them after midnight

[@Xavipie91]

My wife and i work for 8-10 hours , so impossible to keep a GSD ? I know it’s not right for the dog but it’s a childhood dream of me and my heart breaks but my feeling says not to do it for the good of the puppy ..

[@GabrielVeda]

This would be bad for the dog and bad for you. Don’t do it. Get a low maintenance pet instead.

[@smithterrielou]

I have a Covid Pup plus I had Covid in 2020 He is very protective of Momma, not so if someone else has him on leash.

[@jagadammanair8448]

I also have a german shepherd but vet has said not to exercise him

[@Arivmario]

Not all GSDs are “super protective” some are “fear reactive”.

[@theclumsyprepper]

One of mine is extremely territorial and protective, to the point of being a nuisance. He won't let anyone except my partner into the house. I can't even have family or friends around because he wants to attack them. His sister is totally different and loves to meet people.

[@Arivmario]

@@theclumsyprepper I can have my dogs bite and release on command. Once I give the command to release they know it’s forbidden to reengage without my authorization. Get a good trainer to work with you and your dog. It’s good to have a dog willing to put himself on the line for you, but he must respect your commands.

[@elizabethtencer7950]

What is your opinion about leaving a 3 months old puppy alone for 1 week? A person is supposed to come once daily to "play" and feed him. The dog will be left outside in a fenced backyard. The owner doesn't want to travel with his newly adopted puppy. Is it safe and not traumtic to the dog? Or this decision is selfish and cruel to the dog?

[@tomdellin7795]

No alone for a week especially at a young age is not good at all.

[@Oldworldlove]

3 month old puppy alone for that long is cruel and really harmful

[@theclumsyprepper]
