Axel and Riley with their daughter Athena and Raya. Athena was returned she is looking for her forever home
Axel is such a boy 😂 Axel and Riley with their daughters Athena and Raya. (Had to add to this comment about Axel. That dog constantly uses my training against me lol I blamed him not coming to Chris until my husband reminded me of his training i taught him. Axel is taught not to come when I call another dog. He is to stay until I release him with his name or hand signal. He has done this before as well. I was doing a training video of circle/turn which is the dog doing a left or right spin.. I used the circle command with a verbal que but pointed with the turn visual que. So basically I told him to circle but did a clockwise spin que with my hand. A circle que is a counter clockwise spin. That dog refused to do it which frustrated me cause I was trying to make a training video of how to teach it. After I watched the video and saw my ques were wrong I realized that dang dog was smarter than me and I'm the one that made the mistake not him. So this video same thing he didn't come because he wasn't released by the right que. 😂 gotta love that dog.)
Athena and Kash is looking for forever homes. For information go on the website www.vintargermanshepherdarizona.com under dogs looking for homes page. Athena has excellent obedience training. She listens really well. She would make a really nice service dog. Her main issue is her doggie manners needs work. I would not trust her with a submissive female unsupervised. She has learned to fight for her place in the pack in her 1st home. I dont tolerate fighting or competition in my pack. The place in my pack is decided by me not them. I utilize each dogs strength to decide what they are best suited for. She is not reactive on leash. What gets her in trouble is offleash playtime. Energy goes up she will try to control a more submissive, energetic dog than her.. She is not dominate.. She just thinks she is. She is not confident enough to pull off being dominate. Kash is just a furball of fun on 4 legs.. she absolute loves everyone dogs or people. With zero manners taught in her first home she is learning to be calm if she wants to be petted. She is pretty normal on behavior for a young german shepherd. I dont really see any concerning issues. The only true issue I had was when she was brought back this little girls house training was alot worse than when she went home at 9 weeks. Zero idea to go outside to go potty.. It was actually the worst I have seen in the younger dogs returned. She is finally going outside to go potty like the good girl she is.. She absolutely adores being in the pack.. She is bouncy, happy, joyful little girl that would really fit into any home.
How to water your german shepherd
Is this how you water your german shepherd 😂. Athena absolutely loves water. Both of these girls are looking for forever homes. Kash is an 8 month old Diesel-Rebel puppy. Athena is a 4 year old Axel-Riley. I will be posting information on the website as soon as I can. you can message me with questions and cost. I have given the Vintar families a week to respond. We have 2 families interested but they are both out of town. The longer they are here the harder it is for them to adjust once again on losing their family... I do not want another failed home for any of the girls we have.. All returns always needs some kind of training help.. so if you are not prepared to be dedicated to these beautiful girls dont be another failed home for them.
Riley babies. Still working on deposits. We will have females looking for homes but still waiting on deposits for the males.
Fenyx and Gator. These 2 have way too much fun entertaining themselves. 😂
Any questions on Rogue and Axel pups being afraid of water 😂
I am extremely angry right now on the return of Kash. She was put in a kennel in the back of a pickup with it being extreme hot humid temp outside in the phoenix summer heat to bring her back. 😡 whatever the excuses the reasoning I feel why she came back is she is a typical German shepherd puppy with lots of energy. Manners are definitely lacking in this little girl. But the joy and love radiates off of her running and playing. Nothing wrong with this little girl.. as soon as I saw her get out of the truck you could see how hot she was I immediately had chris put her in the pool to cool her off.. DO NOT PUT YOUR DOG IN THE BACK OF A VEHICLE IN THE SUMMER TIME IN PHOENIX...😡
Athena in class today. Keep in mind I only had her back a day.. one thing I have seen on offleash playtime is she targets submissive, timid, high energy.. she listens immediately if you are paying attention. This is what will get her in trouble with another dog. Alot of this posturing is because she is not spay but some of it is learned behavior that wasn't redirected properly.
Athena being introduced to fenxy one of our pack puppies. No concerns. I want to touch a little on the subject of when dogs kill other dogs or even other pets in the home. Dogs don't rationalize like we do.. majority of dogs killed by other dogs in the home is based on human error not a killer dog instinct.. an overcorrection is usually the main cause. A minor correction from a big dog to a little dog is usually fatal and very dramatic and upsetting for us but a natural process for them. We see the big dog grab the little dog and shake it rapidly killing i5 but you see a big dog correct a big dog you don't see the shaking prey drive kill.. you see a big dog biting a big dog and most of the time not fatal we don't take it as seriously and ignore alot of the posturing because it's not as dangerous with dogs the same size. If you don't want these fights to ever happen do not allow any posturing from any of them.. that includes the little dog.. little dogs posture alot and is allowed to be little brats whether the human feels they are balanced or not.. little dogs majority of the time are not expected to have the manners the bigger dog is taught.. that is human error... the human whether it is immediately or 5 years later there is always a possibility the bigger dog will do a correction on that little dog that will be fatal.. animals are based on instincts, they react to a situation... right or wrong most of the time it's instinctual. It's not because the dog has high prey drive.. that is totally different than a pack member being killed from and overcorrection. Including the pack... Athena and sassy both almost died.. they both ended up with 4 surgeries to save their life.. all because Athena decided to correct the pack when their energy spiked because one of them figured out how to open the kennel door. The pack turned on her almost killed her.. she caused the entire thing and didn't learn a dang thing from it. She was pissed at the pack and 2 days after getting all
Thought I posted this yesterday. This is Athena in the older pack.
Athena 2 hours being back home. 🥰
We got Athena back today. Axel Riley pup 4 years old. She had an incident with a small dog in the home. Not quite sure what happens owners had someone watching the dogs. None of the dogs in the home are spayed or neutered which can result in hormonal issues in the home. Testing her with her sister raya she was actually intimidated by raya which raya is a pup.. raya living here is pretty confident in her space and knows the drill on meeting new dogs. Athena doesn't seem to know how to play correctly with other dogs. She plays pretty rough so lacking some doggie manners. To say she is dog aggressive I do not feel she is.. I see quite a bit of anxiety and fear. People here the fear word and feel it's a bad thing. Being honest most aggression issues I've handled over the years is from fear and anxiety. It's why I became a behaviorist trainer. Training these dogs is extremely easy. They are highly intelligent animals.. the hard part is us understanding their behavior and redirecting it properly so they can developed into the proper family social dogs we are trying to have with our families.. hormones I feel is a big part of the issues with Athena. If I had all my dogs spay and neutered every single one of them would be in 1 pack including my more dominate dogs.. if you have only 1 dog in the home that is not spayed or neutered you will get the same reactivity as if they all unaltered.. hormones have a huge part in reactive. Even in humans our hormones create intense emotions and responses.. dogs are no different. This video will also be posted as an educational video on proper introduction to a new dog in the home.
Vet visit time. Puppies are enjoying the puppy wagon 🥰
Athena new born german shepherd puppies 🥰
An excellent class today. 🥰🥰 @kahootsbuckeye amazing support from the store allowing us to teach the dogs good social behavior. 🥰
Class lunch for July. I think it was so much better having lunch at vintar dog park. Alot cooler than the outdoor restaurant patios, watching a movie and the dogs that could behave themselves were able to mingle and run around. Otto is on a 20' lead. He just can't leave the girls alone 😂 the dogs were amazing. This class has come so far.. 🥰🥰🥰
