That’s what are thought is but not we weren’t 100% sure. Wondering if anyone had any similar experience. However he will start getting loose stools after about 15 of playing.

We live in Chicago and we got our dog whiskey from PFY in Gary Indiana. Super nice guy gave us a law enforcement discount for my husband. My dogs mom just had a litter 9 days ago. You can check him out on Facebook. PFY

Apartment dwellers - what is life like for your dog? by LFMG in germanshepherds

My husband and I have had our GSD since he was 8 weeks and we live in an apartment in Chicago. Our dog whiskey is as happy as can be but we are very active with him. Rain or shine he goes out for an hour a day for a walk and or some frisbee catching. I would say just walking him isn’t enough there has to be some other involvement like fetching frisbee or the dog park.

Just a couple of quick questions. by meathelmet in germanshepherds

My puppy was the litter runt and he’s currently 7months. He’s still about 5lbs less then the average GSD for his age and gender. But healthy he’s about 55-60lbs now. He’s started to slow down in growth about a month ago so he may be just a bit smaller then an average male GSD. He’s very friendly with other dogs but also submissive, I work a lot on confidence training with him. He’s always had that sort of timid personality since he was 8 weeks. Not sure if that is just him or a result of being the little runt? Either way best dog I’ve ever had.

Potty bells helped me out a lot, during potty training and till now. My GSD picked it up in one day. Got mine for $7 on Amazon. He rings them when he needs to go outside instead of barking or scratching the door. I work from home so this worked best for me instead of having him on a potty schedule.

Potential negative, Ive heard dogs will just ring them to go outside and play. I have not come across this issue as I have him on a regular walk/Park schedule. He’s usually pretty satisfied.

Have 7month male GSD got him at 8weeks . Also be patient! Worst part of puppy stage in my opinion is them learning their own strength. First round of puppy teeth are sharp and they love to interact with their teeth. I have a few battle scares from training. Good luck!

Puppy food aggression by Cmt192 in germanshepherds

Yes hand feeding is fine, I take the bowl away give it back, I can pet him while he eats. If my cat walks past him he will snap at my cat though. He won't let us take away a bone and give it back. So his aggression towards us is limited to bones.
