hey there guys, ive had some of the best dog trainers for my dogs in the past and none have impressed me enough to return to them! not even the great Ivan in Tampa! paid him over 5K and got back a scared peeing dog! lol my question is that i want the BEST gsd or just dog trainer possible in my area! i want to teach him almost everything in protection. mostly to protect my 19month old daughter at all times and costs! i don't him to let ANYONE near her unless its me or the mom! my pup is 11 months old and is VERY aggressive cause of a good friend of mine is a k9 cop and we have taught him all the off-leash stuff and some watch commands but missing bite work and other protection stuff.

bottom line, who do you guys recommend in the south florida/palm beach area?

Are you not planning on hiring baby sitters? Or letting your parents or other family members hold the baby? Or is your plan to lock up the dog when the baby's grandparents want to hold her?

You have a VERY aggressive 11 month old German Shepherd and a 19 month old baby. End well this will not.

You have a very aggressive 11 month old GSD - your words. You have a lawsuit waiting to happen and at the same time you are going to be fighting for your dog's life.

You expecting someone to take an 11 month old pup and turn him into Cujo?

You're looking for trouble and it will probably backfire on you, or heaven help her, your little girl.

Concentrate on having the pup bond with the child - and you, and he'll protect what's his.

No dog can protect you or your child from someone intent on harm - they can't run through bullets.

Your child shouldn't be out playing without your supervision anyway.

PS - hope this is all your idea of a joke!

First. I think we have to remember that Lassie and Rin-tin-tin are fictional characters. Yes, dogs are amazing animals that do amazing things for the people they bond with, but realistically expecting a very young dog to babysit your toddler and tell friend from foe is just plain silly. Additionally at 11 months old a dog is still a puppy. And if it is in fact VERY aggressive, it's probably from an unconfident place. K9 handlers (no offense to law enforcement) are almost never regarded as quality dog trainers since they rarely understand what they are doing.

Second. I suppose if I had this problem I would look at Phil Hoelcher.

German Shepherds have a natural protective instinct. If they are properly socialized, they will know the bad people from the good people. I've been on this group many years and there are always stories that illustrate the amazing intuition these dogs have.

Sorry, but I wouldn't let a K9 handler "train" my dogs. I've been to a few professional trainers and the only one that actually helped me was Ivan. BUT, I do my own training. I would never send my dog away to a training boot camp. If you want to know why, do a search here.

hes already very protective of her, hes always with her 24/7 even sleeps in her room. she cries he cries, she drops her toy he will pick it up and put it in a corner for her. he comes from a 5th gen pure breed with papers and all active police K9 mom and dad. this dog is mint! was a gift from a good friend of mine whos lead k9 cop here in south fl. and what i want done can be done! its already been shown to me but the guy who does that kind of training died in a motorcycle accident a few months ago when a truck didnt see him and ran him over.

so lets forget the daughter part and the aggressive part etc, whats a good trainer for protection work? from what i take from this forum STAY AWAY FROM k9 trainers lol i got that

what else?
