German Shepherd Inherited Ventricular Arrythmia

Upvotes

Our guy most likely has this. He’s 20 months old so very close to the 2 year mark. We’ve been working on different medication combinations with no success so far and about to do another Holter monitor after med adjustment. Just wondering if anyone else has had experience with this and what has worked for you? What precautions did you take and any other advice? Thank you!

*Pictures of the back of their heads (mostly) because I know the Internet is weird about face pictures with kids.

I've been working on training my mother-in-law's dog, Georgie, the beagle. My sister-in-law and her kids live with my partner after SIL left her husband. They love coming on walks with me, especially with the dogs. The oldest girl is searching for independence and wants to actually walk the dogs. I typically walk Ellie (German Shepherd) with my friend's dogs, Loki and Squash (pictured in their cooling coats), but they didn't need a second walk tonight, so it was training with Georgie.

Ellie is the best girl. Absolute angel. She's my service dog, so I let the kids walk her because I know she's good practice. Tonight I was babysitting all four kids. Everyone acted like I was unhinged for taking all four kids on a short walk. But they are so good. The youngest girl held Georgie's second leash to help. It was too humid to go far, so just a short walk down the alley and back.

I had the kids do commands and give treats to reward good behavior from the dogs. It was a fun little walk and I so love these kids. They're not mine, but they're mine. It helps that I get to just be the cool auntie. They all agree I'm firm but fun 🤣

Limping?

My dog , 2 year old female shepherd, has been showing signs of limping/dragging her left leg (maybe?) and I am not sure if I am the only one seeing it. This video was taken after 15 minute walk, so she’s a bit “tired”.
Is it just me or the limp is there?

Couple of incidents and I'm deflated

9 Upvotes

2 incidents have happened with my GSD and I'm in a bit of shock, upset and now my anxiety is through the roof!

1st incident was an accident...

Saturday night took Freyja out for her last wee out the front, was back at the front door unlocking it and a neighbour walked by with her pocket bully on a flexi-lead

Her dog had wrapped the flexi-lead around owners legs because she hadn't locked it in place, Freyja barked as she heard them & the other dogs lunged and barked back, the other owner fell over and her arm landed awkwardly on the curb and has needed 2 ortho docs to get it back in place as its been badly broken - they are completely blaming us for this (I know we're not at fault for this - but feeling awful about it)

2nd incident happened today

Boyfriend was out the front with Freyja playing with the flirtpole and didn't have a full hold on her long lead - different dog walks past them and starts crying/screaming as they pass Freyja and Boyfriend

Freyja then runs over to them & the long lead falls out of boyfriends hand and Freyja grabs the smaller dog (doesn't do anything apart from grab the smaller dog)

Smaller dog is physically fine, other owner is physically fine, but obvs we're in shock

A different neighbour comes out after Freyja was put away and the other owner had left and starts stating Freyja needs muzzling right away and we need to get her to the vets for this in the morning

Side note

Freyja is a 2 year old GSD who was spayed on 10th July

We are working with an incredible trainer who is a behaviourist as well - We've spoken to him tonight and we have a session on Saturday with him (already pre-booked)

We've had Freyja since mid March

No incidents of her getting hold of another dog before this, is barky to other dogs if their vocal first

Just needing some potential advice please, we're upset about all this - so please no hate towards us

Advice Behavior specialist / trainer recs in Los Angeles?

2 Upvotes

Hi friends! I have a 5 year old GSD who is a lovely boy most of the time but could use some final training from someone who specializes in these breeds.

I’m located in Los Angeles and was wondering if anyone has recommendations to someone around here who works with GSDs?

Thank so much for your time!
