Vom Haus Audax German Shepherds

It's been a long time since we shared an update on EZ. EZ was returned to us last summer when his owners had some unfortunate life changes. EZ has been actively working on increasing his speed and engagement in his obedience work. Hannah has worked significantly with him on counter conditioning touches from his nose to tail. He's also doing well with neutral dog work around all dogs, including intact males. I am loving watching his comfort level increase. It shows so much in his willingness to play, explore, and the blatant joy on his face while he's working. #ezupdate #counterconditioning #gsdsuccess #responsiblebreeding #responsiblebreeder #GermanShepherds #gsdcute #germanshepherdsofig

These sweet babies are growing and thriving. It's so fun to see them hitting each milestone on or ahead of schedule. #germanshepherds #vomhausaudax #gsdofinstagram #gsd #gsdlove #germanshepherdpups #puppyculturebreeder #audaxk9 #GermanShepherdPups #gsdpuppycuteness❤ #responsiblebreeder #responsiblebreeding

🐾 My dog is too smart! 🤯 She knows all my marker words and has been watching my mouth and knows both the first consonant sound and the shape my mouth makes. Y= Yes F= Free G= Good So I've been playing with words and seeing how well she's paying attention. 🙌 📣 What games are you playing with your dog??? 🐕 #dogtraininggames #playwithyourdog #gsdplaytime #smartdogs #toosmartforherowngood #clevergirl #toodarnsmart

Never underestimate the power of teaching a dog to hold still and to stay in an obedience behavior until you communicate that they are free. Movement is easy, natural, and self rewarding. Holding still is work. ❄️ Luca learned all of this prior to our nasty freezing weather, which made staying inside so much relaxing for everyone! Luca is looking for someone who he can hold on to, be there for and love forever. Are you looking for someone to come home to? 🏡 💕 Luca is waiting to be your best friend and companion.

Most dogs abhor the vacuum. Good, sounds genetics and intentional shaping with puppies makes it a lot easier. Chakira's used to the vacuum. This is the first time Emma's been free in the house while the kids were working away. 💪 I was curious to see how she would respond! 📣 Any dog's perspective of the vacuum can be changed with intentional work. ✔️ Noise Counter Conditioning, starting at a low level. ✔️ Create a bed (place) behavior through positive reinforcement ✔️ When your dog is ready, slowly start to put the two together. This may mean that one person vacuums at the other end of the house while you feed your dog for relaxing on its bed. ➡️ Distance is your friend! ‼️Food is crucial. Need help? Our sister company @audaxk9academy offers lessons utilizing this. #dogsandvacuums #counterconditioning #dogtraining #germanshepherdsofig #GermanShepherd

Play time is always hilarious at our house! 🏠 ➡️ Healthy communication is as important for our dogs as it is for each of us. 💯 Correct play cues are crucial to dogs playing well together. 📚 Dogs learn play signals and communicate cues from their littermates, their mom, and stable, trustworthy, mature dogs. 🐾 These cues are crucial to develop and intentionally shape as puppies. This is one of many reasons why we keep our puppies to 10-14 weeks of age. 🐕 play bows, rolling over, laying down and ear position are just a few examples of playful cues our dogs are showing in this video. 🌟 Bathilda vom Haus Audax & Willy von Babylon 🌟 #sundayfunday❤️ #dogplaysignals #dogsatplay #gsdplay #gsdplaytime #germanshepherdimport #germanshepherdsofig #germanshepherdstud #germanshepherdlife #sundayfunday #sundaysunshine

Is your pup bulletproof?!?! 💕 Our puppies are loving the ride lead by our 'junior dog trainers' 🎉 Would you like to build your pup's confidence in new environments, with loud, startling noises and on different surfaces? This is how we do it! 👉 Start young! 🥩 Use food 💡 Remember, the last thing your dog hears, sees or feels before the food enters their mouth is what will be conditioned. This is not about you or what you say! And this isn't just our recycling! It's our noisy pool and we feed our pups in it so they get used to loud, banging, crashing noises while they eat. ➡️ In the beginning, feed your pup distance away from the noise while someone else rattles the cans and bottles. 🚫 never make or force your puppy to go in the noisy pool or be so close they can't eat. We are not looking to stress or overwhelm our pups. 💪 We are looking to build confidence and counter condition the banging and crashing! 📫 Need help? Shoot us a DM.

Meet Ice. 🧊 A happy, motivated, engaged, intelligent and driven pup. ➡️ We particularly love his drive and intensity in the "fight". He does not give up. He stays in the fight even when it gets frustrating or challenging. Please note, we're evaluating this as we're playing tug a war utilizing a leather rag or a flirt pole as we cultivate his play drives. ✅ He has a tremendous structure, with good movement, rich pigment, excellent problem solving skills and an all around engaging, outgoing, curious disposition. ➡️ He is constantly nose to the ground, following scents; tracking other dogs, moles and wild life. It's a kick to watch him find a scent trail and naturally work it. 🐾

Creating recall from a young age! . The earlier we shape habits, the more long lasting those habits are. . What habits are you shaping with your dog?

How's your dog's recall under distraction? 🐾 Naccci's recall is rock solid. She's learned tons of fun recall games @audaxk9academy to increase her speed and reliability under distraction. 🐕 #happydoghappylife #recallgames

How do you motivate your puppy? . Toys? Food? Love? . Green collar is definitely toy motivated. . Each pup in the litter is having individual time in the house away from the litter. This helps them to be more comfortable without their litter mates when they go to their furever homes. It also gives us the opportunity to work on shaping foundational obedience behaviors, play habits, accessing their problem solving skills and starting potty training. . #pnwgermanshepherd #pnwpups #responsiblebreeders #puppyculturebreeder
