Hello all,
I am sure you have received numerous threads about aggressive GSD, so I do apologize if you have read this type already.
My gf and I have a 4 month old GS Pup who although I know loves us, sometimes has random outbursts in which is bites at our legs, and randomly will bite our hands but at the same time bark or growl. He wags his tail in the process, but shows his teeth. We have numerous marks on our arms.
This only happens once or twice a day for about 20 minutes to an hour tops. Then he runs around the house like a mad man and passes out. He receives a numerous amount of exercise, plenty of play time and lots of walks.
Aside from the other 23 hours in the day, he is the best dog ever, listens to every command, loves to learn and loves to play.
We do not wrestle, play tug of war, or play rough with the dog.
I have had dogs in the past and even worked police K9. Never had this problem.
I have spoken to other GS owners of the same age group, who also say this happens to them.
I do not want to grab his scruff or place him on his back, for I heard this can be a negative response to him.
Please help, he is a great dog.
