From the very beginning, we have recognized that German Shepherds are companions of fidelity, discipline, and exceptional diligence. However, did you realize they can be remarkable listeners? That’s right!
Meet Buddy, the German Shepherd renowned for tilting his head as a gesture of profound comprehension of his owner, Mike.
He doesn’t just adhere to commands; most times, it feels as though Buddy genuinely grasps what his human is communicating. He observes lips, maintains direct eye contact, and he listens attentively. And, indeed – he reacts!
You might assume this talent is innate, but that’s not the case! Buddy’s abilities are the outcome of dedicated training infused with affection.
“Everything revolved around love and a heightened enthusiasm for his achievements,” Mike states.
Want To Play Ball, Mike? Here’s The Ball!
Buddy excels in ball-related activities. He thoroughly enjoys spending outdoor time with Mike, retrieving the ball. Yet, he does more than fetch – he conceals, delivers, and relocates it as per Mike’s wishes. All it takes is a verbal command or a polite request.
“I’m convinced that the more affection you show your dog, the more responsive your dog will be.”
Although Buddy’s perception may seem extraordinary to those unfamiliar, the reality is that every dog possesses this ability. Or, at the very least, every German Shepherd does. Mike simply ensured it was made apparent. The secret? An abundance of love!
What Can an Ice Cream Do?
It’s no secret that Buddy is fond of ice cream. But how does he know precisely when he’s about to receive one – now that’s a mystery!
Buddy’s ability to learn is exceptional. He no longer requires basic commands, as he comprehends each word spoken. From the time they rise until getting into the vehicle for ice cream – he grasps all that Mike communicates.
Even if vehicle rides don’t guarantee ice cream, Buddy is adept at sensing when one might be coming. By interpreting body language and spoken words, he anticipates and deduces.
Grandma Is Calling Me, Mike!
Mike’s mother is Buddy’s second favorite human. Whenever Mike utters her name, Buddy vocalizes his excitement and signals his desire to visit her. He becomes incredibly animated whenever Mike mentions her.
The excitement doesn’t lessen once they arrive for the visit either. Buddy’s eagerness to obey grandma’s requests or to comprehend everything she instructs is simply indescribable. He’s the ultimate conversational companion!
I May Grasp Everything, But I Remain a Rule-Following Doggo
Mike is fortunate that Buddy has certain limits. Despite his thorough understanding of all given commands, he refuses to breach previously established guidelines.
If Mike has trained him against leaving the backyard or crossing the road – Buddy will not do so, even if Mike presses him to act otherwise.
Clearly, Buddy observes the rules rigidly. He is more of a traditional dog. Rule number one remains unwavering.
Buddy has always behaved this way. His training has never proven difficult or burdensome. It has consistently been a source of joy.
No problems, no stress, no troubles!
