This test is pure bullshit btw. You can only check their bloodline and that's it. You'll know if it's a good working dog when he'll be around 6 months or so, not any sooner
Anybody know how old these puppies are? Because my cousin gifted me a German Shepherd puppy he’s only a month and his ears are still down I wonder if it’s a legit gsd
@@captainnemolostintheocean1652 I immediately thought that’s going to the alpha in the group. (Or it it just too stupid to notice danger? More likely to be beaten to death by an elder) And it’s so funny how you compare the dog in human terms and a lot people like to compare human in dog terms (alpha or not). It also made me wonder could it be a female dog all along? 😂 showing aggressiveness. Could it be possible for dogs? I really don’t know. If so then the alpha male argument just seems stupid (although in ABO fantasy novel there is also female alpha).
@@thisiskatie7325 you tried too hard to sound ‘smart’. If it’s a girl? Like the person training him isn’t saying ‘him’ all along, or would he possibility be mistaken in your eyes? Lol
@@Qasim-H Maybe it sounds smart to you, but to me it's just thinking normally, having all kinds of ideas. You are too narrow-minded. Plus, there are tons of female police dogs. The narrator refers to all the dogs as "he", it could just be a pronoun he uses to refer to subjects he doesn't personally know. There can very well be female dogs among them. Even using "he" to refer unidentified person was very common in eras that women were not seen as equal, and are still widely used among underdeveloped and non-progressive countries and people. Does the idea of female police dog somehow agitate you LOL?
Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book ru-vid.comUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life - to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home - is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog - young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate - it is worth every cent.
That first puppy was like "This is MY rag now. I'm waiting for you to let go, because it's MINE." Not overly aggressive just confident and assertive, as much as 11lbs can be Lol!
And blooms in Highschool knocks up the Cheerleader girlfriend gets married works at his new father in laws car dealership, goes bald and talks loud boisterously at community functions wearing slacks to fit around his giant belly. Every town has this story.
David Perry honestly I always wondered why I couldn’t train my dog as quickly as other dogs or why mine is a bit more aggressive and playful than others and this video really shows how like humans, every dog is different
@David Perry. Tell me about it! Recently, I’ve had two dogs at the same time for the first time, and it has really opened my eyes to the different personalities of animals.
@@smokeymcpot69yeah live to work not work to live, future fat ass drinking beer watching football once he retire and realize he wasted his life working too hard.
@@tammyrules2000 chonk is like chunky, i.e. fat/plump etc. but when people say chonk they mean it in an affectionate way, like how babies are cute but they're still little chonks coz they have fat arms/legs/faces etc.
Puppy number one is living the good life with his owners. His tenacious behavior is sometimes a challenge for them as one would expect but they love him anyways and knew what they were getting into..🙂
My wife and I are the proud owners of Puppy #3 (his name is Arlo), and it’s honestly unbelievable to how accurately Haz was able to pinpoint the personality traits of our dog from such a young age. Everything he described at the puppy stage is exactly how our dog turned out. On a side note, Shield K9 has one of the most amazing breeding programs I’ve ever come across. I’ll never buy a dog anywhere else. Anyone considering a GSD, don’t even waste your time looking anywhere else. These dogs are genetically perfect in every single way for maximum working capability. Thank you Haz and Shield K9!
So this German Shepherd I got I should return and Get another from your guy? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lJFS0Y7SESQ.html and now this is the finish product.......and I didn't do any of these tests that this guy is mentioning.......Just difference of opinion....Also I DON'T USE FOOD.....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DhA2jdc5K90.html
I love seeing how different puppies of the same litter turn out. Of course you can train dogs to be tolerable of noise and other distractions, but seeing how some of them just naturally are fine with such things as early as 6 weeks really speaks volumes to their individual personalities.
This also just shows how important it is for breeders to do these temperament tests before placing them. Too many breeders let families pick their puppies out. Good breeders pick the best puppy for the family based on their lifestyle.
I didn’t even know this was a thing! It seems so obvious now, or course temperament tests are important. But when I was a kid, the one time we got a dog from a breeder, I remember going back to the kennel and choosing the one with the pinkest nose and the spot on his head because I was seven. And then that was the dog we had for FIFTEEN YEARS! Now he was the best boy and it all worked out, but what if the pink nose had led me astray??
most breeders abuse dogs and pugs and other deformities should be illegal and animal cruelty but I ask for too much from our governments. sigh. I'm just against any breeding because most of it is horrendous. if I ever got a dog it would be a stray like my cats are. one has allergies and is the smarter one with nicer fur...I suspect she has some inbred fancy heritage.
@@HisameArtwork “against any breeding” so you just want all dog breeds to go extinct, so we have no purpose-bred dogs??? That’s a shitty ass opinion. You can’t throw a mutt into an arctic search-and-rescue team. Why? Because even if they have the necessary PHYSICAL traits (double-coat, counter current heat exchange, tracking nose) they will likely lack the focus and confidence necessary for long, tedious, and dangerous work. Just because you’re bad at finding reputable breeders doesn’t mean all breeders are bad. Do better.
Puppy 1: Ok, let's work -_- Puppy 2: Nice environment, ooh what's this? Ahh, scary x( Puppy 3: Are you my new owner? Yeah ok, I'll bite it later, but are you my new owner? :3 Puppy 4: BARK BARK BARK BARK :P
Yup. If a dog isnt driven by food its way harder to train. Because you need to train a dog with positive prize for good actions. And dog treats are usually that.
@@heinuchung8680 early and basic possibly, but thinking it could also be a hindrance later. Don't want your dog giving up a trail cause they get a scent of\or find food.. In this basic exercise they are just looking for confidence in the puppies. So not a big concern.

This is fascinating and reminds me a bit of a book I read when I was growing up about testing puppy personalities. It included steps like sitting down and seeing which would wander over vs. holding back (a confident vs. shy puppy) and clapping to see which ones startle easily vs. remaining calm. For people looking for a dog, the agencies that train service and other dogs have a high "reject" rate but any dogs that even pass some of their tests make excellent pets. They often have long waiting lists of people willing to take the "rejects."
As far as pets go, I think the most important thing is to bond with your dog. If you can develop a strong trust with your dog, they will want to be a good dog! Of course, this is reciprocal. You must be good to them also. This has worked for me with my dogs.
I swear my thoughts go on the same cycles. Lol @ the algorithm. You missed this 1. Anyways, I remember I had to write a paper & we had to choose from the topics. I chose vets & their uh what do u call em? Their comfort pets? :/ yeah them. Which I forgot what the aim or the direction of the paper was. I mean, obviously we had to have a pt. I just dont know if it was an opinion thing, a persuasive thing, or what. Actually, this time, I think everyone had to write on the same topic. Lol, I only vaguely remember this. & I got sidetracked. I was like ohhh puppies 😍! Oh yeah, I gotta get stuff done. Some yrs later & I'm still on the same exact vid, smh. Ha. It'd be cool to get 1. It's just we have a pitt. & idk how that'd work. If there is any breeding going on, I'm leaving that to the hubby. I'd rather her not ever get pregnant but that's just me
Honestly hard disagree. He is way too easily distracted by social cues. He'd probably make a nice family dog though - very playful and little hunting instinct
Absolutely fascinating video. I initially thought, "For sure, I'd choose Puppy #1," until I read your post (from 3 weeks ago) that his new owners say "his tenacious behavior is sometimes a challenge for them." That tenacity seemed cute and promising when he was a puppy, as he you were looking at some kind of precocious kid. But your post suggests that the trait you admired in a puppy can intensify, even over-intensify, when it grows up. Choose wisely. Comments indicate a lot of people want to know what became of Puppy #1. Your statement that he "is living the good life with his owners" suggests that he never became a K9 or military dog. Is that the case? If so, oh no! Imagine hiring Usain Bolt to do pizza delivery because he is fast.
The second puppy has better survival traits--being ok with unusual environments, loud sounds, and larger animals would actually pose a danger to him in the wild. I once watched a video of a pack of baby lions interact with approaching hyenas. The babies that bolted out of there survived--the "brave" ones that went up to the hyenas did not.
True but they dont want a dog with good survival traits in that line of work...the dog is putting itself in danger when it approaches the "bad guy" with no concern for its own safety because its been trained even moreso than came naturally to never be cautious just go. Sad the dogs dont even usually have bulletproof vests on.
I ride horses with someone who trains horses for police. She says cautious animals are not what they want. They want the horses that can be led and have a lot of trust. Because of this she says that police horses are both the bravest but also the most stupid horses they are able to find.
You also have to consider that these animals never really existed in the wild, though. Virtually every breed of domesticated dog is man-made; they didn't exist in those forms when they were wild animals. They're so far removed from wild animals at this point that there's really no point even bringing up the wild. These animals have never lived in the wild; and most of them won't do particularly well if abandoned by humans. Also, they're not looking for good survival traits as others have noted. Police work is dangerous. They want animals who will put themselves in danger to protect a human; that's basically the opposite of a natural survival instinct. They also want animals who can handle a lot of stress, for the job as well as for the animal's own well-being - ideally, a working dog ENJOYS working. You don't want an animal that's unhappy or stressed all the time; that's bad for the animal, and you also won't get the best work out of it. They're putting them through these rigorous tests to make sure they'll be mentally and emotionally okay working in that environment.
I feel the same way. It’s rather unusual to not even flinch when someone cracks a whip next to you for the first time. It’s not about nervousness but physical reaction. There was absolutely nothing. Bit odd.
OOOuise if you watch 04:23 in slow motion you can see his ears flipping back.mits the only situation in the video where the soundsource is not in his eyesight, so it seems like he has some hearing, but maybe he is hard of hearing or something. His lack of reaction (curiosity or fear whatsoever) still is weird.
Thank you for posting this video. My Malinois failed a test like this at 6 weeks and now 7 years later he is a, crazy, house pet living on easy street, some of his brothers and sisters passed and went on to train with the Canadian armed forces. I've always been curious what this type of test involves, so thank you for answering that for me.
Perfect stuff to watch at 03:00 am. The first dog is amazing how he has that strong prey instinct already at just 6 weeks old. But 3 is my favorite, that dude just wants to be pet by the handler haha
My dog has a very nervous personality. No way he would enter the room without his person. He might accept a treat from a stranger. Throw the jug or make noise and he would bolt.
This made me realize I should've challenged my dog more when she was younger, because she has some of the mentioned traits and gave us hell as a puppy.
This is fascinating. I'm a guide dog users, so their work is extremely different from police work, but now I wonder what my school's tests are like. My dog, a lab/golden mix, is petrified of thunder and fireworks. She's eleven now, but we've been dealing with it since she was at least four. The one time I actually experienced her getting afraid of a loud noise while in harness guiding me, we were walking near some tracks to a local train-like system (I don't know its exact name). The train/vehicle came right by us, and my girl was on my left side, between me and the vehicle. She cowered against me, but as soon as it past, she kept right on walking, like, "Eh, whatever, no big deal." Thank you so much for describing what you were doing with the puppies. As a blind person, I would have been so lost otherwise! As it was, it was hard hearing the yipping and whimpering without knowing who was doing it and why. I'd like to know which of the dogs made it into whatever work they were being trained for? You mentioned one at the end, but since you didn't give a number, I have no way of knowing. I'd like to. :) Thanks for this video!
I am a Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie mom but my dogs still work and the herding instincts are similar to the working dogs. I did a similar test from the litter of cattle dogs I got my puppy Loki from. He passed with flying colors over all 10 other puppies. He’s got a great confidence level and is obedient. I can’t wait to start working him with livestock! He’s going to be 12 weeks old Sunday and will have his first sheep/goat experience!!
Fascinating way of evaluation. If you read up human babies they can tell from almost birth who will be the introverts and extroverts. Usually they are dead on as they keep track of children as they age. Alot of the same behavior..plays with others instantly, runs into rooms with no fear etc.
Love this :) My last German Shepherd girl would have passed all these tests but was a challenge to train. My current boy would have failed most but was a breeze to train. His prey drive did not kick in till about 6 months - now he is like the dog at the end and refuses to let go no matter what. His confidence has just grown with age. He used to act skittish and bark at anything new - umbrellas/ benches/ things that had not been there before etc. Approach - shy away - bark - go back etc. Socialized him to everything and now approaches new things directly - no bark or shying away. The female I got at 6 weeks - my boy not till 13 weeks - so maybe he just missed out on some key developmental stages?
I find this video incredibly helpful. While the average family doesn’t need high performance dogs, the confidence displayed is so important for a sound dog.
This is great work and analysis on picking dogs out for K9 work. I’ve been a German line rott breeder for many years now and my father long before me. We breed for show purposes mainly but we also provide rotts for working homes and services such as guad/protection work and police work. Keeping an out eye open for certain behavioral traits they already have as puppies is critical for choosing which one will be best suited for which line of work.
I had to write an essay about service dogs. No, wait. It was companion dogs. Ok, i dont remember the term. Not working dogs, but dogs to accompany ppl who have gone through traumatic events. "Service pets?" 💁🏻♀️ Dont ask me. These curriculums choose these random topics for us.
@2:31 Awesome puppy. I would love to own a big land so I can have lots of dogs, they are really good friends and extremely fun to be around. Thank you for the Video 👌🙏😎👍👍👍
We just had a litter of staffies they are 4 weeks old in 2 days. I’ll try this out in a couple weeks and see how they fair. I already picked my pup; the smallest boy and sweetest.
I like German Shepperd and I believe they are know for police dog, but this is the first time I have seen them being trained since puppies. They are really cute!
I appreciate this video. Important knowledge to help when looking into getting a puppy. They were impressive LIL gsd pups,considering how young they are.
Great video, clearly see in the puppies what your saying. Inregards to that 8 month old pup at the end that was middle of the pack of her litter but turned it up as she aged do you have puppies like puppy #1 that looks very promising turn out to dull down? Is it a thing where some dogs developed more as they mature and some show it from the jump?
Just a friendly tip: try not to play tug too rough with those lil puppies. They’re necks are very fragile and can easily be hurt. Instead, play tug level with the dog so you aren’t pulling them up😀
He says in the video he's being careful. This handler seems pretty good at what he does. He's aware they're little and makes amends for that. Plus a one time thing won't hurt them. If it was daily and rough, then yeah it can cause damage.
Michiesees, I see what you mean but for those first couple months they need to be handled a bit more carefully, but after that you can greatly increase the level of roughness associated with training after vital neck muscles have developed.
Hina, I get what you are saying and I’m not trying to say what he is doing is wrong/bad. I was trying to give him a little tip because what I said barely alters his practice and makes it sooooo much safer.
