This is perfect logic.

It really doesn’t matter if your dog is friendly or not.

What matters is that you don’t take the choice away from another owner (and their dog) as to who they interact with.

There can be so many reasons why a dog and their owner need space from you and your dog.

Please allow them that choice 💙

Little Nova finally has her ears standing up!🥺 Did you know that German shepherds ears will stand up and flop down over the course of their teething stage while they lose their puppy teeth and have their adult ones come in - I’ve noticed that even when they’ve come to stand up, they’ll still flop sometimes when they are waking up from a long snooze.😴☺️

A popular question asked by new owners of power breeds / dominant pups:

"I am seeking advice since I am a first time puppy owner. We picked up our GSD 5 weeks ago and I have been struggling establishing myself as the "alpha". My 15 week old tests me everyday. He bites me very hard which at times I feel is play fighting but he definitely takes it too far. Now today, he started growling at me and my boyfriend when he is eating his food. I feel like I am failing as a mom. My fear is that he will become aggressive when he is older. Any advice/ constructive criticism would be appreciated"

My advice to all alpha pup owners:

I find that very strong alpha dogs take a lot of will power but you have to assert your dominance now or he will end up testing you and it’s much easier to get it across now then when he is 80-100lb dog. If he’s eating and growls, take it away. He eats because of you and if he doesn’t respect you, then he can be hungry for a little while. Food aggressive is very bad, don’t even give an inch. Whatever he gets was yours first, so try that. If he growls, pop him and tell him no and take it away. Wait awhile, and try it again. If he bites, it takes a lot to get it across. Mom dogs will grab them by the neck and hold them to the ground. No, I do not mean choking them, but she won’t put up with it and neither should you. You are perfectly normal to be worrisome because it can escalate very badly if not corrected early on. If he bites, tell him no, if he bites again; pop him and tell him no again, if he bites again, grab the loose skin and hold him down and tell him no. Be stern. He needs to know there is a big difference between play and hurting you. Once he knows that you’re not messing around, it should take you one time of telling him "no" and he should be done with it. At first, I know it is hard to be stern with them and you might feel bad because they are so young, but this is the time to start and if you can; make it very obvious what is okay and what is too far. I’m not saying to be abusive with your young, but watch videos of momma dogs putting their pups in their place, and it’s our job to simulate that position of power and assert dominance so they know their place. When you have a 100lb dog and a little kid walks by his food, you can’t have growling and you most definitely cannot have any rough biting. I am sharing this not to make any of you think you should always be physical with your pup and you should never abuse your animal. Tell them what they need to do, be vocal. If that doesn’t work, use appropriate corrections in order to show that you are the alpha and earn their respect. Ask questions! New dog owners should always do research before getting a breed, but not all problems you can understand until they are presented to you. Ask for help! Ask for new methods if yours are quite working! Start young, please please start young! The minds of young pups absorb everything, including who plays the role of the pack leader. Puppies are so hard to try and think of in terms of stern corrections because “aww.. they’re just playing” “its cute” “it doesn’t hurt that bad” are all things we say. I am a victim of doing this. It wasn’t until I got a very dominant male puppy that constantly tested these bounds that I found what methods worked and what to resort to. Their actions can go from playful to aggressive very quickly. Mess with your dogs food, their toes, ears, and face. Get them used to being open with you and other people, shyness is the first symptom to an older timid dog that reacts to situations in a scared aggressive manner. Teach them to be okay with having their paws touched. If the day comes that they get hurt, they need to be able to be looked at if they’re injured by either you or a vet. It is one more thing to keep in mind. If they react badly, work on it, just like anyone, puppies and dogs make mistakes too, we are just here to help them learn and to keep their behavior is check. In case anyone is questioning corrections, please watch videos on how mom dogs react to their young and their types of corrections for your breed of dog. You must think of them as dogs in the way that we must correct our pups the way a mother dog would correct hers. We wouldn't expect a mother dog to correct our human child the way she would correct her fur babies, so we must take each species, do the same, and learn their ways of corrections in order to get the best results. You have to be very stern with them or else they will just keep testing you. Always stay positive, even with puppies testing your position as the alpha. They are still young pups just trying to find their way in the world. Our job is to give them guidance and to help them be the best they can be.

A little about me 🐾

Hey there, my name is Dariana! I’ve grown up on a farm with animals ever since I was born. Throughout my life, they were my family... and my whole heart. I had the typical farm pets, dogs and cats, and even exotic animals. My mom used to be a vet so I learned a variety of helpful tips and skills from her growing up. She’s a professional dog and service dog trainer and I followed under her footsteps also doing dog training. I also have showed in the county and state fair with my Dobermans and showed my German Shepherd in AKC shows. I know how to train dogs in confirmation, basic up to open obedience, all levels of agility, and am currently working on training my two German shepherds to be service dogs. I have had experience in dog training since I was 8 years of age and been dog sitting and boarding for the past 4 years.

Along with this, I also have volunteered at a variety of different dog shows including the Nebraska State Fair Dog Show and the Nebraska Dog Expo. I also have service hours at the Crane Trust, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Food for Thought, was a Teachers Aid at Kenesaw Public School and Lincoln Elementary School, and also helped teach younger kids at dog classes.

I have experience in administering dewormers, frontlines, administering insulin and other vaccinations along with oral medication as well. Additionally, as far as grooming goes, I have 12 years of experience in doing basic dog, cat, and small animal grooming. This includes giving baths, trimming claws, brushing teeth, blow drying, brushing, cleaning out ears, and applying wax moisturizer for the paws of dogs and cats. I also know how to groom things such as finches, cockatiels, geckos, lizards, chinchillas, ferrets, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, horses, ducks, sugar gliders, and most other critters of the alike.

As of right now, I am a full-time student at Hastings College majoring in biology. I am a photographer and also farm part-time. For photography, I work mostly from home and college is only a twenty minute drive from my house when I have classes. Typically, I am home every morning, afternoon, and all night. I’m very flexible when it comes to pet sitting, but also am open to setting dates in advance. Texting is the best way to contact me and if you have any questions or requests, don’t ever hesitate to ask!
