I find the behavior as described to be so common I would consider it a normal GSD puppy stage. As pups mature, they begin to realize to there is 'normal and strange" in the world. It is all part of a breed that grows up to protect, to discern okay from threat, etc.
German Shepherds do own a degree of aggression. It is not all fear aggression and it is not all bad. I have seen many puppies behave this way as they begin to comprehend their world. All grew up well. This is not to say there are not problem dogs, but this behavior in itself is not problematic to me. Major intervention in such a state could create problems that aren't there though. |
