​@@tracyperez1755and what nutty thing is she gonna do to me next!!

[@ethella6206]

That is a very intelligent dog. You can tell his training was thorough. He kept wanting to sniff your face and watch every move you made. Learning and reassuring himself that you were not panicking so he shouldn't either. Good job on the owners/breeders.

[@sharonspiller7427]

I thought the exact same thing. He’s looking to Vanessa to gauge how he should react. And he wanted reassurance that he was doing well. Such a sweet boy.

[@RestFromTheStreets]

Wow, you can really tell how well Freddie is trained by the way he keeps looking at Vanessa's face throughout the new or uncomfy parts of the groom. He's learned to trust his handler on how to navigate new situations, take cues from them and to "think first, act second". Major kudos!

[@yersiniasilverfors6552]

He has a look like " Excuse me, Miss, may I ask what's going on? Also, please don't hurt yourself with those... items." Confused, but more worried about her than himself.

[@Dustin_Bins]

Fred is such a handsome and well behaved dog. Dogs like Fred are a key example of what happens when you properly train and desensitize your dog, they become confident and able to handle new situations like a champ. Way to go Fred!

[@erroneous6947]

Definitely well socialized and trained.

[@eva-w]

Yesss, absolutely! Ideally the breeder already starts desensitizing the puppies. I used to have a Bernese mountain dog breeder in my neighborhood. And whenever they had puppies they'd turn their back yard into "puppy school"- with balloons, flags, mirrors, foil, seesaws etc.

[@NotJRB]

Nailed it!

[@Sienisota]

​@@eva-wThat's a great idea to get puppies started, using such items.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

We have a 125LB version of Fred (black too). He absolutely adores bath time, leaning into whomever is cleaning him. We do them ourselves because we love our dogs and are still able to groom them. We brush every couple of days so they stay familiar with grooming. If you have the energy to at least play with them or do daily walks, GSD are just the best. You can tell by his looks he's very intelligent. So calm too. Congrats to his owners for the training.

[@amandasnider2644]

Lol, I have a 45pound version of Fred but she doesn't particularly like water. She's only 42% german-shepherd, the rest is 42% Canadian Inuit dog and 14% supermutt. But the black German shepherd genes are strong in her appearance. My theory as to why she's not crazy about water is the Inuit dog genes and the fact that she's from cold Nunavut so water could be dangerous there... hoped she'd like swimming like our previous german-shepherd sledding dog (Malamute) mix but what she lacks in swimming she makes up for with her love of being in boats!

[@kimberlyfitzgerald1364]

I love it when fur babies show the calm confidence of Fred. You can tell his owners have really taken the time to work with him to make him this confident. It’s wonderful to see that such great care has been taken. Kudos to them an to Fred of course, for being a great shepherd ambassador.

My rescue girl was a shepherd mix and I had no idea what a furnado could be until we took her to a shop near us that had pet washing stations complete with the air snake of death. Everyone in a 15’ radius, including the other dogs got a taste, literally.

Like father, like daughter. Both gorgeous pups! (And cranky Eris, too!) Fred was remarkably well behaved for having never been professionally groomed before. He looked more bewildered and resigned than anything. LOL! Maybe Dad can pass along some of that tranquility to his daughter before Lupa's next grooming appointment. ♥

Love how he's a little nervous for the first bit, then eventually is like, "oh, is this it?" and just chills. Gotta love dogs with lots of world experience. They really get used to new things so much quicker when they're properly desensitized. It's also nice to see a GSD that isn't overweight.
