    German Sheppard sitting

    An old couple we know have both run into health issues, so I'm now baby sitting a eight month old German Sheppard bitch for several weeks

    Very nice natured pup, but she's had no training. The owner couldn't believe I could catch her, gave me some nosy toy that worked for her but not me. So thought about it for a few seconds, dropped to a knee and had her in hand within five seconds tops. The owner couldn't believe I could catch her as no one else can. LMAO

    I think I'm going to enjoy this, but open to pointers on training this breed as it's a first for me. Straight obedience.

    I thought you were having a problem with it sitting all the time that's because it can smell your drugs

    Booze around here northdude, I'm not from the north

    Introduced her to the crew today, went well, better than I thought in fact. But of course she wants to play with the tiny four month old pups, physical size of her means it doesn't go well for them.

    Don't you need a mate in a padded suit to train a GS?

    Easy dogs to train.
    Need to sus out if she's food, or toy driven. (Reward)
    The secret is consistency and not moving on to fast
    You're going to have fun training her

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    I still laugh at the story of a unnamed police handler visiting a victim of his dog and apologizing for how badly hurt the guy was. The fella said "I know it's not your fault Bro, I could hearing you calling "Rouse" off bro"!
