Yeah, a lot of dogs have "environmental issues", they drop out of dog training school, start smoking pot, join a commune etc.

Here is my extensive analysis on puppies' behaviour: 1. Good boi 2. Good boi 3. Good boi 4. Good boi

Puppy number one, *unbothered by jug* Officer: “how soon can you start”

I think we can all agree that puppy#1 set the bar high for his siblings 😂

Stressed over if puppies pass their job interview is a new thing for me.

Dog #1: we will be watching your career with great interest

My conclusion: they are adorable little nuggets

The discipline for these guys to not just drop their task and start cuddling with the puppies is massive

Imagine being 6 weeks old and already getting your first job 😂

Dog: whoa food whoa rope Trainer: u r selected Dog: whats selected

Puppy #1 was born ready, obviously the dominant one in that litter. Amazing how at 6wks old, his instincts are already intact.

Puppy 2: Can I get a hug, Sir? Trainer: You're fired

The first dog was meant to be an officer.. The second was meant to be a lovey.

Poor little puppys 😂😂😂😂😂 they are being fired already.

My god look at those little potatoes! I know a lot of people are against the police using k9s but back in high school we had one come in for a demonstration (it was incredible to watch) and his handler said something ill always remember. "You can call off a dog, can't call off a bullet"

The first one is so confident you would think hes deaf and ignoring everything lol

The first dog wanted to ace the recruitment and ace it, he did.

1. Field agent 2. Narcotics & Border patrol 3. Home security 4. Mall security

It's really important to watch a dog cross a threshold, tells you a lot about how a dog crosses a threshold

This also just shows how important it is for breeders to do these temperament tests before placing them. Too many breeders let families pick their puppies out. Good breeders pick the best puppy for the family based on their lifestyle.

I had no idea German Shepard puppies were such chonks

1: The Biter 2: The Watcher 3: The Lover 4: The Eater

My wife and I are the proud owners of Puppy #3 (his name is Arlo), and it’s honestly unbelievable to how accurately Haz was able to pinpoint the personality traits of our dog from such a young age. Everything he described at the puppy stage is exactly how our dog turned out. On a side note, Shield K9 has one of the most amazing breeding programs I’ve ever come across. I’ll never buy a dog anywhere else. Anyone considering a GSD, don’t even waste your time looking anywhere else. These dogs are genetically perfect in every single way for maximum working capability. Thank you Haz and Shield K9!

This makes me realize how ill-behaved my beagle is 🤦🏼‍♀️ #embarrassed

The first puppy made me laugh lol. He was so confident

All the puppies are paid actors.

they're all adorable, and the first puppy was the best fit for any police work, but for a personal guard dog i would've definitely gone with number 3! he seems like such a nice people-focused pup

That first little guy is a fearless beast already! I love his body language, acting exactly like a big full grown dog at such a young age.

Wow this really opened my eyes to different dog personalities

The first puppy is that one high school jock that gets straight A’s, is an over-achiever, and is in 4 different sports. 😂

I bred and trained GSD's for forty years and agree with your evaluation and note you got one hell of a good pup in that first one.

She’s not even looking at the toy anymore she just wants cuddles and to know she’s doing good 😩

That first puppy was like "This is MY rag now. I'm waiting for you to let go, because it's MINE." Not overly aggressive just confident and assertive, as much as 11lbs can be Lol!

I will gladly take the “rejects”, sir. 🥰

I love how 4th pup is just yelling at the handler

I like to imagine every dog gets selected and he just brags about them all like “this is really good, I like this behavior.”

I can't wait to go into Petco and crack a whip in the back room to select my next puppy.

The third one just wanted hugs

This is fascinating and reminds me a bit of a book I read when I was growing up about testing puppy personalities. It included steps like sitting down and seeing which would wander over vs. holding back (a confident vs. shy puppy) and clapping to see which ones startle easily vs. remaining calm. For people looking for a dog, the agencies that train service and other dogs have a high "reject" rate but any dogs that even pass some of their tests make excellent pets. They often have long waiting lists of people willing to take the "rejects."

Man the grip this first pupper has is amazing. He is already very open to the environment. Unbothered by anything irrelevant like the camera.

Puppy number one is living the good life with his owners. His tenacious behavior is sometimes a challenge for them as one would expect but they love him anyways and knew what they were getting into..🙂

I love seeing how different puppies of the same litter turn out. Of course you can train dogs to be tolerable of noise and other distractions, but seeing how some of them just naturally are fine with such things as early as 6 weeks really speaks volumes to their individual personalities.

Job interview: would you like a snack? Me: no, thank you. I'm fine Job interview: unfortunately the position has been filled

The way how this pup looks in the camera... “Am I OK? Can you see my bite?” 😂 really cute 🧡

Can't wait till they test my baby to see if he's the avatar

The only thing that that surprised me here is I was not aware that a strong food drive was considered a positive trait.

The cracking of the whip didn’t even phase him 👌🏽

I realize this is all about testing a dog for potential training, but all I can think of is "WHAT A CUTE PUPPYYYYYYY"

Puppy 1: Ok, let's work -_- Puppy 2: Nice environment, ooh what's this? Ahh, scary x( Puppy 3: Are you my new owner? Yeah ok, I'll bite it later, but are you my new owner? :3 Puppy 4: BARK BARK BARK BARK :P

oh my god the third dog is ADORABLE how he's grabbing at their feet. I want him :(

Imagine being interviewed for your first job at 6 weeks old

I not here for the tests im here to watch these cute little puppers

plot twist: puppy one is deaf

Criminal: Aw he is so cute... Oh shit he's coming right for me!

Can we do the same tests next time we are at the pet store.. LOL..

Puppy 1: " I wanna serve the country" Pubby 2: " just pet me, I'm scared" Puppy 3: " nah getme otta here" Nobody: Puppy 4: shouts the whole time " gimme my fucking food"

I love how the guy talking is monotone and serious while the background voices are just "good boy!" "aw good job!"

Perfect stuff to watch at 03:00 am. The first dog is amazing how he has that strong prey instinct already at just 6 weeks old. But 3 is my favorite, that dude just wants to be pet by the handler haha

This is fascinating. I'm a guide dog users, so their work is extremely different from police work, but now I wonder what my school's tests are like. My dog, a lab/golden mix, is petrified of thunder and fireworks. She's eleven now, but we've been dealing with it since she was at least four. The one time I actually experienced her getting afraid of a loud noise while in harness guiding me, we were walking near some tracks to a local train-like system (I don't know its exact name). The train/vehicle came right by us, and my girl was on my left side, between me and the vehicle. She cowered against me, but as soon as it past, she kept right on walking, like, "Eh, whatever, no big deal." Thank you so much for describing what you were doing with the puppies. As a blind person, I would have been so lost otherwise! As it was, it was hard hearing the yipping and whimpering without knowing who was doing it and why. I'd like to know which of the dogs made it into whatever work they were being trained for? You mentioned one at the end, but since you didn't give a number, I have no way of knowing. I'd like to. :) Thanks for this video!

I wouldn't pass this test 😂

How did Puppy #1 do with his training? His bite on that rag, that was the grip of truth. He knew what to do. I hope he's doing well in school.

Puppie #3: oh he's committed to the food. Me: Same little guy, same!

Puppy 1 is too precious with that confidence ❤️

the 3rd puppy just wanted to be loved on forreal lol

That 1st dog is like a gamer making a 2nd character after he totally finished the game lmao 😂

I would want to take the rejected ones home, and love and care for them 😭😭😭❤️

Dogs are amazing, we are blessed to have them.

Wee tail never stopped wagging 😂

Puppy #3 seems like he would make a good service dog

"I just threw a jug" lmao best line ive heard all day

How FASCINATING! The analyses of all the pups and what you are looking for. I trained sled dogs for years and I would enjoy watching each pup for signs of where I would place him/her on the team. With a few exceptions, you could spot a lead dog from a very early age. Fun stuff.

I’d never be able to do this job I’d be stopping and petting and loving every two seconds

so basically to pass the test you’ll have to care about food more than whatever place you’re being thrown into, be extremely friendly with strangers and don’t give a damn even if there’s gunshots right next to you.... yep, would totally nailed it...

Always been, and still am, a big fan of the police K9’s. This video has taken my interest to a whole new level. You guys are great. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this video! The most information and best understanding I've watched to select or learn what pups are more suited for working!! I noticed a couple off comments saying this is bullshit but come on ur not saying this is guaranteed but your definitely giving us a greater chance to separate the best suited to the unsuited pups!! Thanks again so happy I found your channel!

1. 00:03 Rival antagonist, top of the class. 2. 05:05 Worrying and logical friend, his dead helps MP transcend to the next level. 3. 07:37 Best friend, stays with MP until the very end. 4. 09:32 Main Protagonist (MP), can use talk no jutsu already.

Pup #1 thinking "You did good human, I accept you as my partner"

That first puppy is gonna make such a good K9 dog. WHY ARE PUPPIES SO DAMMMMM CUTE!!!!!

I find this video incredibly helpful. While the average family doesn’t need high performance dogs, the confidence displayed is so important for a sound dog.

The second puppy has better survival traits--being ok with unusual environments, loud sounds, and larger animals would actually pose a danger to him in the wild. I once watched a video of a pack of baby lions interact with approaching hyenas. The babies that bolted out of there survived--the "brave" ones that went up to the hyenas did not.

"A puppy walks into a room." Bam, the perfect story. Fin.

This is great work and analysis on picking dogs out for K9 work. I’ve been a German line rott breeder for many years now and my father long before me. We breed for show purposes mainly but we also provide rotts for working homes and services such as guad/protection work and police work. Keeping an out eye open for certain behavioral traits they already have as puppies is critical for choosing which one will be best suited for which line of work.

One of the best video on GSD pups behaviour in a litter! Absolutely loved it!!!

Everyone’s hyped about number 1 but I think number 3 definitely has some potential with the right handler. He could even rival number 1 in the future.

Absolutely fascinating video. I initially thought, "For sure, I'd choose Puppy #1," until I read your post (from 3 weeks ago) that his new owners say "his tenacious behavior is sometimes a challenge for them." That tenacity seemed cute and promising when he was a puppy, as he you were looking at some kind of precocious kid. But your post suggests that the trait you admired in a puppy can intensify, even over-intensify, when it grows up. Choose wisely. Comments indicate a lot of people want to know what became of Puppy #1. Your statement that he "is living the good life with his owners" suggests that he never became a K9 or military dog. Is that the case? If so, oh no! Imagine hiring Usain Bolt to do pizza delivery because he is fast.

Came here for the cuteness overload. Just seeing them being sized up for their future job did not disappoint. Love ❤

I learn so much from your videos. Been discussing Sheild K 9 in working Dog FB groups. So appreciate you're helpful videos. Creating better dog owners one video at a time. Thank you!

This has got to be the cutest effing thing I have ever seen

The other puppies failed the test intentionally to avoid being selected to work. Smart bois!

Me looking for a job: the perfect job doesn’t exi-

Fascinating way of evaluation. If you read up human babies they can tell from almost birth who will be the introverts and extroverts. Usually they are dead on as they keep track of children as they age. Alot of the same behavior..plays with others instantly, runs into rooms with no fear etc.

My dog has a very nervous personality. No way he would enter the room without his person. He might accept a treat from a stranger. Throw the jug or make noise and he would bolt.

Thank you for posting this video. My Malinois failed a test like this at 6 weeks and now 7 years later he is a, crazy, house pet living on easy street, some of his brothers and sisters passed and went on to train with the Canadian armed forces. I've always been curious what this type of test involves, so thank you for answering that for me.

Takes a bite like no problem! That’s a great dog right there!

As a dog lover and an individual who plan to raise a few more pups in the future, this is a great video. It teaches me a lot about canine behaviorism and how to look for them in an attempt to maybe address any future issues.

From our perspective: Interviewing Puppy From the puppy's perspective: IT'S A PLAY DAY!!!!

Puppy No 1 was like “I’m Hua Mulan. I’ll bring honor to us all.” 😆 🐶

That puppy looks top notch. His little eyes show determination while holding on to the rag.

As a human, I wouldn’t have passed this test. Whip will make me cry, I’d want the owner more than the food, and I’m hesitant to interact LMAOO

why do i feel like i‘ve just learned something about myself...
