19 months, admittedly untrained, fearful?, and chained to a pole! So sad.

I hope people won't turn up their noses at a dog like this, just because it's untrained. My current service dog was from a very similar background....
From this....
....to this! (Um, can you tell someone had an accident that day? Mop on the floor, rug hanging outside, airing...)

How wonderful!
I can tell you are a GOOD person from the bells on the door. Only very good people have the patience to let their dogs tell them when they need to go out. Some gsds can really take advantage!

Awww....you noticed!
That's something I learned from the Shiloh folks. I eventually gave up on it, as Star just couldn't seem to catch on, and I wouldn't have been able to hear the bells if I were in my bedroom, or another part of the house. (I'm pretty close to being deaf. Ranger is my Hearing Ear dog.)
I've heard of Shiloh pups catching on to the bells in a matter of days. I've also heard of pups learing it from an older dog in the house.
Not to say GSD's can't be just as smart. A professional trainer I hired to help with Ranger's training started to train him for the kitchen timer. After one or, at the most, two trials, I said, "Wait...I rarely ever use the timer! Let's not worry about it."
Six months later, I was using the timer to time something I was cooking. I stuck it to a metal lamp pole right beside me, so I'd be sure to hear it.
The moment it went off, Ranger was at my elbow, nudging me!

That's a helluva chain on that poor dog. Hope someone buys him and shows him a loving, chain free home.

when dogs are chained for long periods of time, you will not see any grass in their areas ......... as in sunsilver's picture. the dog for sale does not appear to live chained to that pole. i would suggest he is a kennel dog chained up for that picture.
