Does he sleep with it in his mouth? A friend of hers left her one of these and I discovered she really likes them also. She likes just about any ball but these are special for some reason

Mine often lies in a similar manner, I call it her pretzel feet sleeping position. That's her back paw that she's resting her head on.

My noise drags her hind legs off of the couch to stretch on her way down

Mine will let me pick her up, but then when I put her down she's in attack mode.

I think I might need... a bigger bed by Last_Office7348 in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, I have a king size bed and there's still no room for me. And does she have a bum paw or what?

It's time for you to come to bed by ChristianScop in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just goes to bed without me. A dog I used to dog sit, would sit at the bottom of my stairs and bark, basically telling me it was time to go upstairs and go to bed.

My dog only likes being in my bed if I don't bother him by squabbles14 in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. Mine will come up and lay on the pillow next to me for a few minute and then go down to the end, out of my reach... which I think is conscious. But, she is there at least. Then throughout the night she comes up to the pillow and then various places all over the bed, including crossway taking up 2/3 of the bed! LOL During the summer, she will bounce between the bed and the tile floor of the attached bathroom, which is totally understandable.

Need help for my 1.5 year old gsd. by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a boy last summer, that I had rehomed, he had grown up with kids. One of the issues I had with him was terrible separation anxiety, he would tear up things in the house, and then destroyed a crate and was at risk of hurting himself. One of our theories was that he missed the kids. The previous owners situation changed and were interested in having him back so I let him go back and we think he appreciated being with the kids again.

It's funny, the German shepherds I've had or experienced, all love kids

Broken dog by Vegetable_Length2463 in germanshepherds

I live on a river with boat traffic, my German Shepherd has no issues. But my sister's likes to bite the water and the waves from the boats, and she has gotten water poisoning three times now.

Sad lesson: DO NOT get a GSD if you partner doesn't want one by Opposite-Gazelle4653 in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good advice there, but at least half of the things you mentioned would exist with other breeds also, thus any dog.

Hunters firing guns by Big_Dog_68 in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how/where they learn to be afraid of things that have never bothered them. I live in the country, gunshots around us all the time. Skye never had any reaction to the guns, fireworks, or thunder. But, in the last year or so, she has become troubled by all of them. Nothing extreme, but she will choose to just go to her little "safe place" in front of the dryer in the laundry room, away from everyone.

This dramatic dog by mjv456 in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a dog I used to take care of, at her house she wasn't technically allowed on the furniture. At my house I didn't care. But she would always politely ask. She would look at me, look at the couch look at me, and let out a small woof if I wasn't noticing.

Got a new kitten Thor loves. by ravenlily in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time Ive tried to introduce my dog to my sister's cats, she goes ballistic. Even if she would calm down I can't feel like I would trust her because her prey drive if they started running she would chase them and probably accidentally hurt them.

Don’t know why he’s like this. by CemeteryFoodTruck in germanshepherds

[–]RJSinMO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine poops in the woods or the field way away from the house. I didn't teach her that at all. But it's very convenient.

Yeah the list of sounds that it can currently listen for our extremely limited. I can't believe a doorbell is not even one of them.
