Hi, I'm new to these forums, and I've seen many similar threads to mine, but none of them are helping me, because I've attempted everything those people suggested.
Let me start off to say that I'm 17 years old, and I live in a large house with at least 12 people living in here (all family.)
This is my first GSD puppy, I've always been in-love with the breed and before I ever owned one I've always researched about them watched training videos and lots of stuff, so I knew I was prepared for a dog, and or puppy and had a very positive attitude when the idea came that I was getting a German Shepherd puppy... And now I just really want to say..
It really sucks. I want to cry, because of how exhausting this all is,
Before I start talking about everything I'm gonna list his problems;
* Does not potty outside, I take him out to grassy areas that are fenced up, bring his toys, and play with him outside for a long time, until he's tired out, and let him chase me. The moment he gets home he pees & poos in the house, or on the balcony.
* Knows a few things like, sit, off, and come and his name. Does not respond unless he feels like it and or if I have a treat.
* Puts his whole mouth on anyone, including kids of the age of 12, and bites really hard, and bites any hands he sees really hard. He drew blood on my 15 year old brother 5 times. Ran after my little brothers 12 year old friend and bit her leg and held onto it. Bites really hard, can't teach him bite inhibition because he doesn't respond to "ouch!" And if you walk away, he basically attacks you, by biting your leg, biting harder and harder.
* Cannot be redirected with a toy because he has no interest in any of his toys, he rather bite your hand, or any human thing, so textbook, shoes etc.
* Still bites insanely hard even when tired out.
*Humped people at 8 - 9 weeks, humped at least 5 times.
