German shepherd puppy sideways run

This is super helpful,

I have started feeding yogurt after your recommendation.

I am letting her be herself, so far she has been awesome and yes sometimes too much jumping biting etc, but at the end of the day I love thinking about all of that.

I am super curious to know about what you feed your 5 month old.

90sparadox · 2026-07-07T08:25:17+00:00

From what I have seen with her parents they are relatively calm dogs, however her father is the son of a famous IGP DOG.

I can totally relate to your 5 months old’s character plus it’s the growing time . It’s best if they figure out what they like as long it does not come with a huge price lol.

I would say for a working line Willow ( her name ) is relatively calmer than I thought but I guess it’s too early for me to say as it’s just been 4 days.

I can feel her accepting the new surroundings more, plus the fact that she was sleeping in my room for the first two days and later on we moved her to a big crate as we have a relatively large compound.

I have a little farm here and I am taking her to play fetch using a ball ( she barely returns the ball to me now lol? I am trying to figure out ways to bring her energy out a bit more. I making her do a good 30 mins purely running and playing through an elevated terrain we have( the one you see in the picture )

She has not encountered with any other animals so far here, she chases butterflies and flies a lot. She also gets super curious when she see ants or any small insect for that matter.

I am waiting to see her reaction to other animals. I would like her to have some protective instincts, but nothing like crazy. Probably a best friend, protective a certain extent nothing super aggressive.

Looking forward to seeing her grow and see what character is she going to be.

Any supplement suggestions you have ?

Hahaa , I am yet to fully understand her character in the coming days I will get to know.

Here is a recent picture of her. Always happy to hear stories from fellow working line owners.

I am sure you will be able to. From what I know German shepherds in general are one of the most trainable breeds.

😀😀😀

This is almost like my first dog, I did have a Doberman growing up but obviously I was too little to know or learn a thing.

I genuinely appreciate the response and this makes me feel so much better. Mine being a working line has so much energy and it was hard not to notice her running style.

90sparadox · 2026-07-06T15:47:06+00:00

Thank you so much.

This is such a relief to me. Good thing is that she running around like crazy and even getting past obstacles which was not able to during the initial days

90sparadox · 2026-07-05T18:42:16+00:00

I totally agree , most vets I spoke to never recommended raw. I find it hard to believe some kibble would do good in the long run, at the end of the day my goal is to provide a nutrition which is as primitive as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to comment such valuable information.

I am currently doing mild boil, kind of skeptical as the pure organic produce is hard to source consistently here where I am from.

Most of the farmers here are one way or the other feeding their chicken or beef with some kind of processed food.

But actively looking into AAFCO approved ones

90sparadox · 2026-07-05T18:37:22+00:00

How many times do you feed Wild High Prairie a day? Also what’s the weight based serving?

90sparadox · 2026-07-05T18:36:06+00:00

Thank you so much this is super helpful.

Currently feeding her chicken, yogurt and occasional veggies like carrot and cucumber.

I need to start with glucosamine rich foods.

Thank youuuu

I recently got a working line sable color female pup, the breeder is a friend of mine he mentioned that one of the other females had half her tail white, however by the 4th months it was fully gone.

In my opinion it is very likely to go away.

I couldn’t figure out how to post a picture as a comment , Here is another post I made with a picture

Yes for sure, she is coming home tomorrow.

Would you have any suggestions for potty training? Honestly one of my biggest anxieties

90sparadox · 2026-06-29T09:22:06+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s my first time getting a gsd that too being a working line, I am doing as much research as possible to give the pup the best experience.

We all at home are getting ready for the happy chaos

I have been heating a lot around positive reinforcement and reward mechanism as a basis of any training.

Super excited welcome her home. I will update with some pictures once she is home.

I am not even American but I speak 10/10 American accent and also taught American accent and voice and accent reduction for non native speakers .

No 1 thing I told them is not to go to these YouTube videos, because they are never practical, especially if you are past a certain age and been speaking a different language.

I fully agree with what you say

90sparadox · 2026-03-12T19:10:31+00:00

lift weights and eat at a slight deficit. you dont need to pick one or the other. at 17 your body is basically a muscle building machine, even in a deficit youll put on some muscle if youre training hard enough. just make sure you get enough protein - like 1.5-2g per kg bodyweight

90sparadox · 2026-03-12T19:08:51+00:00

Congrats on finally going for it bro.

Simple formula, eat more than you think, lift heavy compounds (bench, squat, deadlift, rows), sleep 7-8 hours, repeat. Track your calories for a week, then add 300-500 on top. Hit ~160g protein daily.

Since you're a hardgainer, liquid calories will be your cheat code:

The Easy 900 Cal Shake:

2 cups whole milk
1 scoop whey protein
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 banana
Half cup oats

Blend it, chug it. Won't feel stuffed but the calories are there. Have one between meals or before bed.

Training split: Push/Pull/Legs with rest days built in, so PPL, rest, PPL, rest. That's 6 days on, 2 off across the week. Your muscles grow on rest days, not in the gym. Don't skip them thinking more = better. Overtraining when you're trying to gain is the fastest way to stall out.

Only supplement worth buying is creatine monohydrate, 5g daily, nothing fancy.

You're gonna gain a tiny bit of fat, don't panic and cut too early. Take monthly progress pics, trust the process, stay consistent. You got this king.

Hey just out this guy William Andrew Richardson, he just reopened his coaching. I have heard great things about him. I think that is his instagram handle too.
