The only thing I’ve found that they can’t destroy! StarMark Everlasting Treat Ball.

Just a video of Crosby self soothing with his favorite toy. The green ball is life. He munches on the ball like it’s a pacifier until he falls asleep.

From my anxious and ball obsessed male: Mom, Stop going outside and leaving me to worry. Green ball. I cannot function (ball) away from your side. I would prefer to have eyes on you at (b)all times and I don’t understand why you sometimes-green ball-make it so that my eyes cannot see you...

From my selectively incontinent and SPOILED female: My dearest Piss Wench, Today, when I looked directly in your eyes as I peed on the floor, despite the fact that we were 3 seconds away from going outside, you broke said eye contact to get a towel. Your attitude after this unfortunate...

My dogs are seniors now and very used to their routine but we’ve worked full time since both of them were puppies. It starts with my husband and I having offset days off. So 4 out of 7 days per week, there is someone home with them. On the other 3 days, the dogs can be left home alone for up to...

I love this idea!!!

Christmas is all about coziness and closeness in our home. We celebrate the holidays with the dogs and then travel home to see family in January once things have calmed down. This is primarily based on the industries we both work in. On Christmas morning the dogs each get a stocking full of...

I chose to get a shepherd because my first experience with a dog was with a GSD/Collie named Sheba. She was my grandfather’s farm dog and glued to him. And wrangled cattle, managed the farm and was so gentle with us as kids. She was tragically killed by coyotes defending some new calfs and her...

My dogs love to murder plushies and operate on the corpse with surgical precision to find the squeaker. So be aware that the prey drive can kick in. That said, I still buy them plushies because for the first 20 minutes it’s freaking adorable. For treats that can withstand puppy teeth we avoided...

Hi friend, first of all take a deep breath. Sounds like you have had a lot going on. I’m not sure how much research you may have done prior to getting a GSD but they are not “easy” dogs but they are amazing if you can put in the time. It’s common for GSD to go through what is referred to as a...

My pups are 11 and 9 years old and still pretty darn active. We get asked on every single walk if our 9yr old female is a puppy. She’s got that permanent puppy face and she’s smaller framed. And very excitable. It’s awkward to be like, nope she’s a senior. My 11 year old is ball obsessed and...

Crosby is the all black GSD, he’s 11 years young. And the black & tan is Ludo. She is 9 years old 🖤

We know this breed is prone to allergies and skin conditions. What has worked for you may work for someone else. Share your allergy, skin, frito-feet, stinky ears journey here! I have one dog with no allergies and the other has yeast overload that has affected ears, skin and feet. Allergic to...

Mine hate having their paws touched and are a bit too anxious for groomers so I do basic grooming myself. Their nails are so thick that I sometimes worry I’m crushing versus cutting. What trimmers are you guys using to get through this breed’s thick, tough nails?
