Just got one . And almost instantly house trained within two days of litter separation. Already knows basic commands and is starting to enjoy little walks. Can't wait to be able to jog and daily exercise with him.👍🤙👏
Jason hi!, I'm glad you've had so much success with training your ddr puppy but the success you've had in your puppy might not be with everyone who has a ddr puppy all ddr's are not the same so you might want to keep that in mind ! Thanks for listening!
Not sure if it applies to the working line, but I used to own a German Showline. (Great dog!) The breeder said not to take the puppy on long walks until after 1 years of age. It can mess their bone development up, if you do. Just an fyi..
@@swhmettaactually is 5min walks for every month, so at 2 months 10min and so on, progressively, and no intense running etc. I’m waiting for my puppy to be born, couldn’t be more anxious 😂
OMG, I AM IN CAPS CUZ I AM EXCITED TO SEE YOUR STYLE!!! i am at 4:43 and had to stop and comment, this is the best style i have seen ever, so far, i am 68, and on my 4th gsd, she's 8 months and probably east lines, so wow thank you for sharing how you assess and encourage, i'll probably have questions... wow
Your videos are a lifesaver, unlike numerous others who just self advertise, your videos are like a working manual to dog training., thanks a lot., it has been a great help in correcting my ever pulling 2 Yr old labrador...thanks again,,,, frm 🇮🇳
I have a 7 month old with similar markings as this one. Really such special dogs! Friendly & playful with such a high drive can’t wait for his training to progress.
I trained my working line in different languages as well as hand signals. He was the smartest dog ever and used his head to solve new problems. Smartest dog ever.
Wow! What an absolute beautiful dog, he’s got that working line look to him. Growing up my uncle trained Shepard’s such as you, we had a male working bloodline Shepard and his name was Sarge. Man does max remind me of him! They have that stud of a face and so fast to learn. Sarge was so well trained my dad would say BEER and sarge would run inside bark at the fridge my mom would put a can of bud in his mouth and sarge always made it back to dad without punching a hole in it! Haha
Hi, I’m waiting for my puppy. Did you noticed any behavior change on his first year? I’ve been hearing that when they became adolescents there keep trying to test us 😂
I love East German Shepherd Dogs. I was born and raised in communist Poland. I remember from childhood powerful sheepdogs guarding the property. frost, snow, bared fangs behind the fence. I currently have a cane corso and a german boxer, but such a shepherd keeps me awake at night. I've had two in my life and want a third. great dogs.
Absolutely appreciate your videos. Thank you for taking us along the Training. It is not only the talent of the dog. It is more the knowledge and therefore precision of the handler. I already learned a lot of this first session
These dogs are unbelievable at learning, it's like they come with the basic software pre installed and all you need to do is enter the code!!! rescued a male of 14 months two years ago. The original owner dumped him off after he decided he wasn't as enthusiastic about bite work as they wanted.
I have a year and a half old W. German Working Line Sable named, Ash. He looks a lot like the pup in the video. I really enjoyed this video because it shows the unbelievable potential of this breed. I am hoping I can find some more videos from you to inform me on how I can further improve my own training and communication. Thanks!!
thank you so much for you putting me in the right directionhave to say he is a 19 month working line thats had a bad start to life before i got him now that he trusts me then i can go and do proper traning that i have watched with your vids i will let you no how it goes
I have an east German intact male who was the pick of the litter. I wanted him for private drug detection work and other types of security work. Despite plenty of socialization, surface and traffic exposure he developed panosteitis and was a reactive dog. I took him to a lot of training courses but they were training family pets. He has very strong prey drive. He is now 10 years old and suffers from arthritis. We still walk every day and I let him decide the route. I was never one for clicker training and always had issues with high value treats. Due to where I live and regulatory requirements, he just served as my companion which was a disappointment for both him and me. But, we're together 24/7 and he enjoys travelling. Looks similar to the one you're training.
Absolutely….YOU ARE “THE MAN”….I have 2 GS doge…one is a Czech Shepherd….will be 2 yrs old in October….doing well but would like to know 1. what it would cost to have YOU train him ? and 2. When do you stop the treats…..thank you so much for all you do for us. Laura
I've been sharing. I know some girls that have dogs from the pound that keep asking me for help because I have had hunting dogs and I'm telling them to get your material. You're really good and I really like your training philosophy. ❤. Best regards and be safe and God speed sir. ❤
I have a DDR and Czech GSD. The DDR will be two in February and the Czech will be six in December. My DDR is in training for Search and Rescue. You wouldn't have any tips for that would you? Love your videos!
Our working line GSD (west German & Czech ancestry) puppy jumped to 4 foot high boulders in our garden at 7 months, and down the 8 foot high face without hesitation. Loved it, never got hurt. For children jumping at young age causes the bones to get thicker and stronger (impact stress), it must be the same for puppies. So it looks bit funny to help him down from a 2 foot high table. He should be able (possibly is) to jump over the whole thing, easily. We are lucky to have a 20x30 yard sized boulder garden on our front yard, dogs can run, jump and climb to their hearts' content when growing up. It looked funny when in our obedience training group people started to teach their 2-3 year old dogs how to jump over a 2 foot obstacle. Like what? Should be something a dog should be able to do automatically. Or are they just walked in a park and lifted on and off cars???
It’s stress on the growth plates. At an older age (over 2 years) they can be jumping 6ft fences if the dog is capable, since the growth plates are not still actively developing under severe stress.
@@t1red802 How about wolf puppies, is a trainer preventing them from jumping the most dangerous obstacles in the wild? It is also a question of agility which needs to be developed at young age, as at least in humans if there not enough gymnastics (meaning old fashioned rough play) at young enough age the person can not learn to run for example as an adult, as the muscles and nerve connections are not developing enymore. Must be the same with dogs.
I really really enjoy your videos. I've grown up around working lines for a long time and now am trying to get into IGP. I currently had a red sable and help training a silver and a black gsd. I learnt training a red and tan showing line and now am trying to better myself. I have a low food drive dog sadly. Any advice
Looking to get an east working line dog. The mom is 1/4 wolf and I am concerned about prey drive as I have chickens, pigs, and possibly getting a milk cow. Does any of your training have recommendations for dealing with their prey drive and how to channel/correct it?
I'm just finding this channel. How did Max do? I'm looking to get a DDR GSD and train for wildland search and rescue. I will be checking out your website.
Hello I have a female working line shepherd also at 2 years old . Train everyday pretty stable dog but wondering when they start to chill out a bit ? As far as age goes ?
What kind of training treats would you recommend?... My dog is a mixed breed and it was rarely attracted to treats when trying to train it. I am supposed to train my dog when is is hungry, and before feeding it???. Thanks...
Some dogs are more motivated by toys and police use that method training their K9s (ball on a short rope ). You have to see what works best motivating your dog
Thank you so much for your videos! They are a great help and resource! I have a white german shepherd puppy 4mths old. Trying to break her from jumping and puppy biting. Lost one canine on bottom and have 3 more to go. Working with her and using your techniques. Any advice on the jumping and biting? Getting mixed messages on research with how to handle. She is a female puppy and her name is Elsa. I have epilepsy and want to train her to be my service dog. And advice on jumping would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and Have a great day!😁
Do you have a video on the proper way to pick up dogs and set them down? I have a new GSD puppy and want to set the routine now instead of letting her jump out of the car. Thanks for all your content!
Can you do dog training ( obedience ) as a side career? Cause I’m a student who’s interested in doing IT as a major career and obedience dog training as a side career.
Thanks for thus video. Our GSD's name is also Maxx. We love him but he's too much energy for us. I'm ready to retire and will be traveling a lot. We're looking for another home for him he's 16 months old. He's smart but jumps on us too much. He sits and behave outside the house.
I need help with my GSD.. I got her when she was eight months old. She just turned one on May 26th. She came from the south and the transporter had to have her shaved because she was so badly matted.. she came afraid of people. I’m guessing she never got touched and had no positive interactions with humans.. she is good with the family.. I have a five-year-old son and a three-year-old son a 13-year-old German Shepherd and a rescue that is 3 & a Himalayan cat. She is selective with who she likes and has recently started to bark aggressively at people when they come over. I have a prong collar a harness and shock collars.. I think I just need to give her that “level 10 correction!.. wish me luck!😂😭
Lord in heaven I have a young Czech female working line ! I’m trying to train myself but this is difficult for me oh my word ! But she is like him in her way she has no fear whatsoever! I tried the ecollar with her but I’m lost and I don’t wanna hurt her cause these dogs can be very well she is a big baby too ! But i know training is so important for her ! Lord i wished I was closer and try to get that extra boost of support however I live in Kentucky lol far away ! How much are your prices for the board and train please? I know there are other trainers near me but I have to be careful cause this is my baby cause not everyone trainer is the same or understands the Czech or working line and some will waist your time and $ and some will be to harsh and i refuse to leave my baby with the wrong trainer who claims they understand this breed
DDR is the German abbreviation for GDR (German Democratic Republic, existed from 1949 to 1990). DDR German Shepherds are dogs originating from East Germany’s Cold War military canine development efforts. It’s a working line GSD breed. I hope that helps 😊
Nice boy,thanks for shareing, Garret. Aaaah yes, working line German Shepherds and their teeth... I've noticed that my own one (western German working line) has far larger teeth than the average dog, in relation to her overall body-size, or even just the head size. Very healthy teeth as well, next to no discoloration at 6 years of age. But that effect (BIG teeth in relatively small/slender dog) seems amplified in those "pocket rocket" Malinois. Those that look as though someone's added Pitbull to the Mix. Or shall we say, the effect was MALIFIED :-) I suppose that's what many generations of hardcore-bitework in the breeding stock bring about...
This dog has hip dysplasia...this is not a good quality working line GSD. This dog is intelegent and he can learn so much but he can only be a good family pet and ofcorse, a good guard dog
Sincere or were police K-9 handler I to ask you when you train the dog do teach him that he can die doing what you want him to do are you putting them into armsway without them knowing it I saw there was a dog shot three times yesterday I want to know what the dog expecting it Oru rewarding him so that somebody can kill him please I would like to know

Yep, this dude is one of the good ones :-)
My special little girl is the spit of max 14 weeks house trained basic sit stay down come heel and just learned to shake her paw amazing little dog
I am from the DDR - Love to see the good ol' boys working!

Wish the DDR lines were the most popular lines. Such solid dogs.
He is such a handsome boy! Even if you didn't say so, you can so tell he's a working line Shepherd. Very impressive!
I used to have one just like him. Everyone said the same thing you said.
i have one exactly like he is even color from a breeder here in dfw texas. Phenominal dogs with training very easy to train.
Do you know the name of the breeder? I've been looking for DDR breeders here but haven't found many.
The greatest breed in the world. The German Shepherd dog. Not just the working line but the show line as well!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜👍👍👍💪💪🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴
WL RULES. SL drools. 🤣😂🤣😂
So much knowledge in this video! Max is such a handsome boy. I can't believe this is his first training! He rocked

Did you try prey drive before food drive ?
“I’m his willie wonka and he is welcomed in my chocolate factory “

When trying out the recall if the dog has a tendency to jump, how do you correct that without conditioning fear of recall?

Can you recommend any DDR breeders I am down here in s Florida
Should you do this training on a puppy that you first bring home at 9 weeks? Or should you wait to do this til later on
Great video! Could you recommend a trainer in Jax FL? Or even just do a short on what to look for when searching for a trainer
Nice stuff

There are NO white German Shepherds!
If the dog is white he
is NOT a pure breed German Shepherd at all!
How would this training change if you removed the clicker and just used the food that he's after? Just curious
What training bites do you use
Nice video. Any inputs when guest comes in, how to handle a working gsd ?
Do you have a video on the proper way to pick up dogs and set them down? I have a new GSD puppy and want to set the routine now instead of letting her jump out of the car. Thanks for all your content!
One hand under the breast plate, one arm above the rear knees and under the tail.

Great video. Are you able to provide breeder information for the DDR?
Can you do dog training ( obedience ) as a side career? Cause I’m a student who’s interested in doing IT as a major career and obedience dog training as a side career.
how do you compare the working gsd to a Dutch shepherd

What and where does DDR line came from?
DDR is the German abbreviation for GDR (German Democratic Republic, existed from 1949 to 1990).
DDR German Shepherds are dogs originating from East Germany’s Cold War military canine development efforts. It’s a working line GSD breed.
I hope that helps 😊
I'm looking for a DDR East German Shepherd breeder can anyone help me here?
