6 Things You Must Never Do With Your German Shepherd Puppy

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

Is beef good for gsd puppy

First thing is…don't jail them in a cage!

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

Awww I've been a good dad😭
Im glad I've been doing all of this and even still listening to videos. I need to be less harsh on myself lol im doing good with my German shepherd pup Maya❤

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

That was one problem I had with my puppy. We got my puppy during COVID and because of that people were too afraid to come near her. You weren't allowed near anybody. Therefore my dog never got properly socialized. Now I don't know what to do.

…. all of these apply to all puppies.

German sherpard are the best to have,love them to bits❤❤❤❤❤❤

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

My shepherd ate the mail man…

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

I thought German shepherds don't eat raw meat

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.

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.

after some videos….i hate that female voice

My female Shepherd doesn’t let my wife around me and I love it
