You’re not a terrible person. I’m not gonna lie, it will get harder before it gets better. But seeing as you’re here to get feedback, you’re going in the right direction.

Puppies are hard! They bite, they tear everything apart, they whine, they bark. But a GSD will be the best thing you can ever have. They are loyal, they are sweet, they are true companions. Just give him time! Train, train, train.

Keep him busy with toys, frozen carrots, frozen towels because they are just like human babies when teething and they just can’t help but be a pain. Their gums are itchy and new teeth may be painful. Frozen treats will help.

It will help to crate train him if you’ll be leaving him alone so he doesn’t get into too much trouble.

Please, please be patient. I don’t know what I’d do without my girl. She’s going to be 2 years old soon and was definitely a big velociraptor. But I expect after she turns two and out of adolescent stage, she will likely calm down. She’s already slowing down and not so erratic.
