Speaking of doggy idiocy - came across an ad this morning on one of the local B/S/T pages for a 13 week old GSD (keep that in mind, 13 weeks) that is being re-homed because it is "untrainable". I told DH if we hadn't agreed we are in downsizing mode in preparation for being able to move that pup would be in our living room by this evening. I mean, come on, optimally you would have had the pup for no more than 5 weeks (assuming you were decent enough not to take it from it's litter before 8 weeks - which, around here, is highly unlikely) - but lets say you've had it for 7 weeks ---- first of all, if that is the case, removing the dog from it's litter too early set you back on a lot of things as you robbed it of important social skills training that occur even after the pup is not reliant on mother's milk - secondly, at 13 weeks the puppy is not untrainable, it's a 13 week old puppy who is still in need of training - third, you say in your ad "I've tried everything", which tells me that in a short period of time you have used multiple training approaches (and I would suppose at least some of them are rather negative based on the tone of the post), and that means the puppy has had no consistency and is totally confused at this point, which is why it is not responding to your "training"....................

I just feel so bad for the poor pup -- hope someone is able to go get her and raise her up right.....
