Many don’t know this information! Remember every second matters during a choking incident.
1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog while adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.
2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.
3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.
Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work in these scenarios so don’t hesitate to save your dog.

100%!!! A must read! German Shepherds aren’t Golden Retrievers or doodles, nor were they bred to be! But that’s why we love the security, nobility and intelligence this awesome breed gives us! ❤️🥰

Let’s talk liability when you own a guardian breed, because some of yall are out here genuinely shocked that your German Shepherd Mafia … guards.

This is a dog bred for generations to protect property, livestock, people, and occasionally your emotional stability on a bad day. This isn’t a doodle who wandered into a security role by accident. This is a dog whose entire bloodline reads like a résumé for police work, military service, and personal protection.

So when your German Shepherd posts up at the window like a seasoned officer on duty, that is not reactivity. That is employment. That is her checking the perimeter, tracking movement, logging suspicious activity, and filing the mail carrier under known but still watched.

And if you don’t train or supervise that level of intelligence and drive? The liability is yours. Full stop.

Your dog doesn’t care that you live in a quiet neighborhood or that your HOA wants everyone to smile politely and pretend nothing ever happens. German Shepherds don’t read HOA rules. They read posture. They read tension. They read intent before you even notice it yourself.

Training is not optional. Management is not optional. Understanding genetics is not optional unless you enjoy explaining behavior to people who don’t understand dogs.

If your German Shepherd alerts, blocks, shadows you, positions her body between you and strangers, patrols the yard, barks with purpose, or gives someone that long, quiet “I’m watching you” stare… that is not misbehavior. That is instinct. That is wiring. That is her doing exactly what she was designed to do.

Your dog is not broken. She is functional.

So be proactive. Teach her what real threats look like. Reinforce neutrality. Give her structured jobs that don’t involve intimidating the delivery drivers. Advocate for her. Train daily. Respect the brain that lives inside that powerful body.

Because if you don’t give structure to a German Shepherd, she will create her own.
And trust me… you do not want a freelance German Shepherd making executive decisions.
