how german shepherds choose their favorite person (updated)

Let us know if you experience these like we do with our german shepherd 😊😊

I went to pkup a puppy. t

My besty does all of this ❤

One characteristic of a German Shepherd is their exceptional intelligence. German Shepherds consistently rank among the most intelligent dog breeds. They are quick learners, have excellent problem-solving skills, and are known for their ability to understand and follow commands. This intelligence makes them highly trainable for various roles, including police work, search and rescue, assistance, and as loyal family companions. Their sharp minds and keen senses contribute to their versatility and make them well-suited for a wide range of tasks and activities.

My GSD does all of the mentioned things except one, she doesn't like grooming. It's a struggle most of the time. I'll take the following me around the house, bringing me her toys and all the other great things we do together.

Our K9 behaves minimally barks/reacts to others and other dogs= when With Me. His “ Person” is my wife Kimmy. He make’s physical contact at all times, goes Nucking Futz when she walks his and Anything is nearby. His search and find: is Kimmy. His only toy time or ball grab is when she comes home. ( I am Alpha Dog but, Kimmy is our dog’s 24/7 go to & protected one of the house hold) = ALL the mentioned signs, reflect K-9’s 1 person is Kimmy, not the leader of the pack… / Alpha Dog, his 🐺 only :protection/ majority of time with/ caregiver / groomer/ and K-9 TCCC MEDIC.
At 9 years old, this dynamic had never changed ( maybe my status is actually: Beta , just Im still viewed as his “ Handler” at all times he is signaled for “ Playtime over/Work time begins “. ( and yes he and I spend LOADS of time embraced on the sofa after being “ off duty” at 07:00 am each day= just Taz and I until 6pm ( socializing is a daily thing ever since I started with him at age 1.) his imprint is obvious that Im HIS got to for 100% safety and his bond and principal for HIM to protect is Kimmy only.
No matter the viewed threat: person/animal/vehicle . He is crystal clear that he’ll sacrifice himself for her ( only/always 24/7 ). Whether it’s: the mail/a glass of water/ food/ the tv remote/ her medicine, etc. HE makes it known his “Zero Tolerance Policy “ of ANYTHING until he sniffs it 1st before it is given to Kimmy. His instincts of 100% vigilance, I nicknamed him “ Checkpoint Charlie”, after the former Berlin Wall checkpoint of the East/West Berlin access point.🐺🐕‍🦺🫡

My dog behaves like an extention to my body, follows me everywhere, including inside the bathroom, and sleeps glued to my thighs. Her favorite place, next is my back and I love to feel her back glued to my back, it's so comforting. She likes to lick my limbs and look into my eyes with so much love. As an expression of my love, I raised her in a very gentle manner, praising her good behavior and never getting mad at her, just gently telling her what else to do instead of the annoying or dangerous deed. It worked like a charm. She is now fearless and full of love towards to me and other animals or people including children whom she loves, she finds them quite amusing. I am going now to make a stake for both of us! It's week-end! We can feast and go for long walks outside! She is proof we don't need to scare them, to get mad at them, to shout at them and with love and care we can train them to be perfect. Try it or let me know if you did the same with your pup. I had to change myself first, before getting her and totally control my emotional bursts. It was easy because I wanted to be a balanced human for my dog. They will be your mirror! So if you are nervous, afraid, depressed, paranoia, mean, they will become so. It is easy if only one owner in the household. If two humans, they need to sync first. All good trainers are really calm and balanced people. I say it again: good trainers, Emphasis on Good. Then you need to study what food is best for them. Then you need to become a groomer in your own right so that you keep the dog well groomed weekly.

Why did the gsd pick on you because he / she knew the owner was not smart enough. Hey, what do you think?

Omg this was my Leben

❤All the signs meet my GSD with me. I love her as much as she loves me.❤

We just adopted our first Shepherd. She’s amazing.

I am a double leg amputee. My German Shepherd. "Baby Blue" , is

I don't have a GSD , But I have an English Mastiff & Anatolian Shepherd and they do ALL these things . I'm old now and I wonder if I could give a GSD the exercise he needs .

My gsd does all of this ❤ 2 days ago she was staring at me while she was laying next to me. And she farted and kept staring at me so intense 😂😂😂 I like to think that this was also a gift "some love in the air for you human!" 😂

I had a Shepard growing up. He loved to go fishing with me. The problem was he would retrieve my cork!

my neighbor had a gsd when I was a child. I was over there all the time to visit my friend and his dog. One day when they were not home I went overthere just to play with the dog. another neighbor, an older man who was the best person you could ever meet, thought the dog would hurt me. so he followed me to make sure I was ok cuz he was worried, so he and I went to see the dog and as I went in the gate the gsd met me and saw the elderly man and thought he was there to hurt me. she (gsd) got in between me and the man with her but towards me and started barking furiously... she was not about to let the man come in. My elderly friend went home but he was glad to see that the dog was protecting me. I miss that dog, and the elderly man. I used to go on long walks with that man and his dog which was half gsd herself. the memories of childhood.

me and my nephew have a long heard german shepperd female and she is so loyal,i would say they are the best breed of dog you can have

My female Sheppard is so in love with me ! She follows me everywhere! She sleeps in my bed with me. Except for work I take her everywhere with me. She is my best friend ❤ she is scary smart !

There's a reason why we say among GSD owners, "We didn't pick them, they picked us". I know many Dogs are loyal, But the loyalty of a GSD is literally second to none. You could be at war with the world and that dog would not leave you.
BTW some of the footage were of Belgian Malinois, not mad about it, just pointing it out. Any of the mostly tan dogs with the black patch on their backs and the black masks are the one I'm talking about

I lost mine in 2020 not over it yet❤️🐕‍🦺

We just lost our old guy a couple months ago at 14 yo, he was such a great guy. Ive had 4 prior to him, all sassy, lovey, hyper, worry warts. Just got a new pup, hes 3 months old and 40 lb already, hes going to be huge, already super sharp and enjoying his BIG voice. His daddy is a massive 150 lb. Cool you sharing this! Thank you!

Well, my German Sheppard is very social towards other dogs, humans, children... SOCIALISATION is very important. He follows me everywhere around the house, and when we go for long walks into the forrest, he will never lose eyesight of me. Very easy. No leash is necessary. He listens very well. However, I can not say he's a real guard dog. 😂😂😂 Since he was a puppy, he's used to people coming over and has nothing but positive experiences with people, children... coming to our house. When humans come (especially the ones he knows very well), He's always happy and wants them to stay. So when my mother wants to leave and reaches for her jacket, he starts to cry like a wolf, not wanting her to go. 😂 Definitely not a guard dog. I do not mind either. Sometimes, I get awake from a noise in the middle of the night, and my German Sheppard keeps sleeping. Not a sound. No bark. Nothing... (He sleeps in my room) Sometimes I think to myself. Is he a real German Sheppard??? Obviously, he's, according to his passport. I guess my German Sheppard is just not a guard dog. However, 1 of his male dog friends was attacked by a Belgian Sheppard, and without hesitation, he attacked that dog to defend his friend. So I guess if I would go for a walk with my German Sheppard and a strange person would attack me for real, he would attack that person. That has never happened yet. Nobody is that stupid to attack/rob a person with a German Sheppard.😂

Yes I can.

GSD ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD 🌎 WITH THEIR OWNERS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is our most definitive characteristics of our German shedder for sure..nothing more on point

I’ve had 5 German Shepherds but last one befriended a stray wolf dog that’s who I have now god bless every good dog owner 😊😊

THE GERMAN SHEPHERD IS THE GREATEST BREED IN THE WORLD. I AM ON MY 6TH ONE.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪🦴🦴

German shepherds are the most loyal and wonderful dogs I had to they were brother and sister I obedience trained them as they were so well trained they both went to the police force many years ago Candy and skipper were great dogs and I was so Proud of them both

Each and every word resonates and I know that I am the picked one of my dear gsd silky

I have had t GSDs, all of German lines. 5 have saved me from bad people. My latest, Charlie, was trained to really like kids, men, women. He is only 2.5. He has never run into a bad person. However he comes from 10 Generations of Schutzhund champs. My husband died, and he quickly decided he should take his place in my bed. He obeys me like crazy. My husbands GSD quickly transferred her love to me. I think they love family. Heidi stayed with my husband because he was disabled. But pretty quickly she transferred to me and loves to kiss me and lick my hands.

What is the best dog to train? A male or a femand what is the better protecting dog? Please let me know comment back, thank you very much.

My gsd was supposed to be a service dog when we trained him. When the professional trainer trained him & we passed by him. He barked at us & picked us up again.
Now, we serve him instead of a service dog. We had the bond ❤️ when he was a puppy ,I guess.

I was his boss when he was a puppy. Now ,he is seven years old, and he is looking after me. He is my boss. Who is looking after me all the time. The world changes.

There is no bad dog on earth expect bad owner.

Saksan susikoiran pidättäminen telkien on laiton. Tämä koira ei hauku räksyttäen. Haukkuu on hädissään. Tosipaikantulllen Koira ylittää korkeushypyillään kolme metrisen paalun hyvin kohdeltuna tykkäyksellä.

Some of these attributes applies to all dogs.

❤❤❤I love them so much.

As there were alot of Belgian malinois shepherd clips in this video, i feel as a 10th time malinois owner, i have all of the above mentioned with mine.

The GSD is intelligent enough to distinguish "right" from "wrong", but will require teaching {corrections} to know which is which. AND some of them love to say "make me". Be carefull allowing your dog to decide what to "protect" you from.

My German Shepherd always sleeps in my bedroom doorway at night. Sometimes he will lie down where he can watch the door to the outside. Hes never far away but he also likes his own space.

My German Shepherd puppy is just over 4 months and he loves to follow me where ever I go. He also snuggles up to me in bed with his head on my pillow. Go out for two minutes his excitement is unbelievable to getting his favourite toy to play with.
He loves his excercise and walk time with me and will always stand in between another person and me if I decide to stop over to talk.
He is my bestest companion ever and royal to his name Sultan - the brave heart.

im planning on getting my first GSD in about 6 months I am very excited to start the journey of a lifetime with my dog.

best dogs ever. always make you better & better. Its your best dawg ever.
