5 week old German Shepherd Puppies Environmental Training

Produced to Perform

German Shepherd Puppies in a sail boat - Kennel StavangerThe pups had a big day yesterday. They went for a ride  to work for an exploration of the shop. Did I hear environmental? They even had a chance to hang out in a sailboat.

A customer stopped by who has had several litters of pups. He loved Gjeter's litter. He thought they were all very confident and already well socialized. It is a tough decision to pick a male. But it's a good thing. There isn't one that we would not want.

1 month old - German Shepherd Female puppies

Girl Power

This is Nicky on my right and Dot on my left. Both girls are going to experienced Schutzhund homes. Their handlers are also women. We are looking forward to seeing these all female teams in the future. Until then I keep telling Nicky and Dot that they are going to make a couple  special people very happy. It's a great feeling knowing that these girls  will be placed in outstanding homes. I feel fortunate to be the one to get them off to a good start.

3 1/2 weeks old - German Shepherd Puppy Sound Tolerance

German Shepherd Puppy environmental exposure - Kennel Stavanger
Curly meet Miele! ...Miele meet Curly. Each pup got an introduction to the vacuum today. This is great for noise acclimation. Curly decided to sniff it. "Hmm...you smell like a dog, but you don't look like a dog or sound like a dog?"

Yikes...hardwood floors! No need to worry, all puppy play areas are covered in slip resistant shelf liner...an excellent and cost effective way to avoid any environmental impact of slippery surfaces.

3 weeks old - German Shepherd Puppy Visit

Grandma came to visit today. This was her second visit and she could not believe how much the pups have grown. Curly is in her arms. He is big and cuddly like a teddy bear. The pups had their first meal yesterday in the kitchen. After they were done curly had a sniffing session around the perimeter. Nose down all the way. What a sight to see from this 3 week old future Schutzhund pup. He inherited his sire's nose. We are very proud of Gjeter and Proud to have puppies out Kway vom Posthorn. This is a very promising litter! Our future puppy homes who are no strangers to Schutzhund are very excited.

3 Weeks old - German Shepherd Puppy first Visit Outside

All Hands On Deck

German Shepherd Puppies Nursing - Mother is Gjeter av Xazziam - Kennel Stavanger
Yesterday was gorgeous and was a great opportunity to get out in to the great outdoors. Well, the great deck that is. "What's that box doing in the picture?" This is a healthy crew and they required a substantial box like a heavy duty one from Duraflame. What a sight to see. A box full of bobble head puppies and eyes of bewilderment as we walked through the house. A fuzzy blob with ten eyes starring. Photo left to right is Curly, Moe, Dot and Nicky. 

Where's Larry

Yes it's Lazy Larry. He's in energy conservation mode. It turns out that he just might be his mother's son. My Gjeter Dog! If that's the case then he will need a huge energy reserve. He's been a sleepy boy, but the other day he awoke. He is very much the puppy I brought home four years ago. Yes!

Escape Plan

Moe is giving Larry and Nicky the escape plans while mom is busy with Dot and Curly.

The Getaway


Maybe they can make a clean getaway by separating. Moe takes the back while Larry and Nicky take the front.

Who Us?

"It was Moe's idea, honestly, after all he's black and tan. You stopped him in his tracks, but he was on his way out".
