Bella & I we’re all loaded up and on the road at 6AM. We watched the sunrise and started tracking training at 7AM this morning. ✔️. It is so refreshing to be back out training with my dogs. I love Fall weather even with a little rain at the end of our session. Bella loved being out and learning some new things.

Ameera now 6mos old, is owned, loved and trained by the Menigs and is the- now not so little - housemate sister to her housemate German Shepherd Dog brother, “Ragnar”!
As most puppy owners do, they started going to basic puppy kindergarten/obedience classes and quickly learned the classes weren’t as challenging and fulfilling to a fast learning and active workingline German Shepherd pup like Ameera! 🤣 Thankfully they are seasoned Gsd owners and saw it was not working for them. They immediately started training with her on their own with a proven program with structured sessions and have been doing so phenomenal!
Ameera is purple collar 💜 from our C litter:

Think long and hard before you want a workingline German Shepherd Dog!!! It’s not going to be a very laid back pup! What you see as these great adults …is a lot of training put into it!
We have the best owners and so blessed they work hard at training their puppy!!

Borrowed:
No breeder escapes this moment: the phone buzzes a few days after a puppy leaves, with a message you could almost recite by heart:

“We love him, but…”

Ah, the infamous but.

But he barks. But he nips. But he cries at night. But he’s “too energetic.”

In short, he’s alive. And for some, that’s already too much.
A puppy isn’t a living stuffed animal or a personal antidepressant. It’s a baby mammal, uprooted from its maternal world, thrown into the unknown. It will bark, cry, explore, and stress—and that’s normal.

Modern humans, however, don’t like disturbance. They want everything fast: their coffee, their phone, even their puppy’s “adaptation.” They forget a puppy’s brain is still learning emotional regulation through experience, not downloads or miracle TikTok tricks.

So overwhelmed families write: “He’s adorable, but he’s not for us.” Translation: We wanted a dog without the challenges of a puppy.
Even the best-raised puppies are still learning. They arrive ready to learn to love, not pre-programmed to love. And learning requires time, consistency, and emotional steadiness—qualities many humans no longer possess.

Some confuse the perfect puppy with the compliant puppy—obedient to their schedule, whims, or noise tolerance. When that fails, blame follows: the breeder, the breed, the dog’s “character.” And suddenly normal puppy behavior becomes a “problem.”

Breeders absorb it all, taking back puppies “returned due to lifestyle incompatibility,” re-socializing them, and repairing broken bonds. They brush trembling little muzzles and remind themselves: humans think they can adopt without adapting.

Living with a puppy is chaos before harmony. It’s the noise, the smells, the nips, the accidents, the doubts. It’s biology, not magic.
A puppy isn’t a test, a trial, or a gift. It’s a living commitment. What it becomes depends on you: balanced if you are, anxious if you are.
And if you’re not ready to give up your slippers and certainties for a few months? Adopt a plant instead. It rarely chews your shoes, and it doesn’t cry at night.
