I have a one year male GSD at is super attentive to every move I make. I can't shift in a chair without him looking up from a sound sleep. When I roll over in bed, he raises his head to make sure I'm not getting up. I have never had a dog like this before. I was wondering if all GSD are like this?
Happy New Year Everyone... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
My 8 years old male is absolutely the same,or may be more!! He even jumps up from his sleep everytime he hears my computer shut-down sound,and gets ready in a stand -stay position in the middle of the room,watching for which direction I will gonna move from the computer.Not to mention when I am not sitting there...(he knows it would take hours..so he alwats takes some naps here).
Still wonder whether this is possitive or negative quality for a working dog ??
As long as it's not startled I don't think it's a problem. Both my GSD lay on the floor where ever I am for the most part. If I get up and move to a different room so do they.
My working terriers take this to an extreme. I can cross or uncross my feet while I'm sitting, and they are on their feet, ready to do something. Gets a little nutsy sometimes, but they are VERY aware of everything going on around them. I think it is characteristic of a lot of high drive dogs.
No, he is not startled, just super aware. I can't go to the bathroom without him being there. He will follow me anywhere, but not the rest of the family. This is my dog and he knows it. I think he just wants to make sure that I don't leave him. He has always been like this, even as a little guy.
It is really hard to call over the net. A lot of handler sensitive dogs are like this too. Not because they are super attentive, but because you are their security blanket. I am not saying that is the case here, but it does occur.
My 14 month old GSD is the same way. This is the most intelligent dog I have ever owned. Super aware of everything I do and attentive. Great working dog too. I would take this as a positive thing.
Deanna brought up a good point. My daughter's rescue Pitt is now getting over her separation anxiety, but, at first, she wouldn't let my daughter out of her sight. She would be glued to my daughter and it was obvious panic when she would loose sight of my daughter.
