Aries and his mom!

[aries.ceph]

Hello everyone!

Meet Aries — my handsome 4-year-old German Shepherd living his best life on the East Coast. We’ve recently started dipping our paws into the world of social media (Instagram and TikTok are our main hangouts) in hopes of turning his treat obsession into something a little more sustainable. He knows a handful of commands so far — I didn’t keep up on training when he was younger, so we’re making up for lost time together now. He’s smart, stubborn, and hilarious… his favorite trick is playing “dead,” where he flops over and won’t move until he’s “alive again.”

I’m also an aspiring photographer, which you’ll probably notice right away. While I’m most inspired by animal-focused content, I love exploring anything that sparks creativity, and my long-term dream is to travel with my camera in hand. I’m excited to be here, learn from others, share a bit of our journey, and pick up tips — especially for working with strong-willed older pups.

Wishing you all a wonderful day/night!

Welcome! Aries is a handsome boy. Don’t stress about the late start on training, 4 years old is still plenty young enough to learn new things, especially with a smart GSD! They love to work at any age. Looking forward to seeing your photos!

Welcome Aries.ceph to the HQ! Playing dead is definitely a pretty fun trick.

Your comment about his treat obsession to something more sustainable had me chuckle. There’s definitely no dull moments with great dogs.

Looking forward to following your journey together.

Hey Aries.ceph, welcome! Aries looks incredible, those eyes have serious "ancient guardian" energy. The social media idea and photography sound really fun too. Excited to see more of your work and hear how training goes with your strong-willed boy!
