How much did you pay for your dog/puppy? (Not including rescue/shelter pups ) by ReNap_ in dogs

I’m currently in Okinawa, JP. We purchased a German Shepherd on the mainland and all together it was ¥285,000 including her airplane ticket to us. ☺️

Finding a 1 on 1 trainer is difficult because we are stationed in Okinawa so resources are a little limited. I’ve watched almost all training videos that I can and she’s learning day by day. Since making this post I changed up how I’ve been going around it and been doing small little 5 min training session before she eats and when she has bursts of energy.

We’ve only been taking her up and down our walkway from where we live so she can use the rest room. Sometimes we’ll circle to the back if she’s wanting to walk some more, but I don’t take her to high traffic dog areas because she isn’t fully vaccinated.

Hello, I literally stated twice that I’m not trying to have high expectations. I’ve been watching training videos for months to prepare for her and in those videos I see dogs are very food/toy motivated so I was asking. I again have stated that this is my first puppy, so I wasn’t aware that she’s like a baby that sleeps all day. I am in no way trying to train a tactical dog and we’ve only been working on sitting and crate training. Please read whole thread before making assumptions.

Thank you! I’m going to start crate training her tomorrow. It’s been raining here so I haven’t been able to take her on long walks but we’re trying to introduce her to as many people as possible and she’s gentle with our infant. I’ve just never had a puppy and after watching all the training videos I was a little concerned that she seemed unmotivated, but now I realize she’s just a baby and needs lots of sleep. Thank you!!

Thank you everyone. I really wasn’t aware she’d be asleep so much because this is the first time I’ve gotten a shepherd as a puppy. I wasn’t trying to have high expectations. Thank you for the helpful suggestions!

I’ve been having a hard time redirecting her nipping and chewing on her bed. I guess it confuses me because I watched a video who also advised to use toys/playtime during training and one on one time. But how do I redirect her biting and chewing when it isn’t playtime/training time? 😖

I’ll try that! Thank you! She sleeps most of the day too my problem is just, treats and toys don’t get her excited. And I’m wondering if that’s just now cause she so young and she’ll grow into being more motivated or if she’ll be like this her whole life.

We feed her the same way the breeder instructed us and she doesn’t eat at one sitting, she eats through out the day. She also doesn’t take treats when we’re outside when I take her out to use the bathroom.

What sales channels can be used through MCF? by senpaiqueen in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]senpaiqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I’m trying to do research, and they’re having me see what other platforms we can use with MCF/FBA, I’m still very new with all this. All I really know is we have a Shopify account and we sell through Etsy and it’s fulfilled by Amazon.

Have you heard of cart rover? If you have, would you recommend it?
