Are all German working dogs as easy to train as this one? This pup looks like it could do a CD and it's only a 7 week old puppy.

Yes, pretty much. Isn't motivational training great? I've had a pet owner who had their seven week old pup sitting, down, come, and crate within the first week using food and toy motivational training. Veronica

I have been training multiple breeds for awhile and the Shepherds I've seen just can't do what this pup can do. The intelligence, focus is just not there. Obviously there is a difference between What I've seen and what appears to be normal in the working lines. Where can someone look to access pups like this one?

Why not contact the trainer in the video?

I found this description of the video: "Seven week old puppy from Ronaldo Zellergrund and Quendi vom Olympus learning heal, sit, stand, platz."
So the pup is actually German Showlines, not working lines. You can google the sire and dam to find out who the breeder is.

I'll save you the trouble. It's Windy Ridge Shepherds in Harrisburg, PA: www.windyridgeshepherds.com
I have Citta's brother, and I cannot speak highly enough of the lady who breeds and trains these dogs.

Some pups are just smarter and more bidable than others. My female pup (12 weeks) working lines come from a litter of early adn quick learners. The breeder told me a litter mate was doing the same OB as the pup in that vidoe at 9 weeks. I thought OK cool. Didn't start doing anything with my pup for 3 weeks after she arrived. This news about the o ther litter mate ahead of the game got me thinking "I need to get this girl working." Once I did I can't believe how fast she is, picks it right up and will remember those commands the next day after one session.
If I had more drive, the sky is the limit to what this pup could do at an early age. We want to be serious in protection work so I have stopped the OB sessions at 4 commands, now I do them one time daily to make sure she hasn't forgot and we are done. Soon I will be trying for a bark command.
