I am just curious, and I thought we may be able to help each other with behavioral problems. However, it can be ANYTHING, no matter how big or small. This includes physical traits. Like how I wish Tazor didn't turn into a saddleback...I loved his blanket, but whatever..haha. I also wish his prey drive disappeared as I don't like how he chases my cat in the backyard. Anyway, just wondering.
I wish all the health problems were nonexistent, and all that we would ever have to worry about was temperament, training, and color. How easy life would be!
His birth injury, the missing toe. He is perfect to me, but I feel like he is limited to do certain things like push off the board to do flyball, more direct impact on that bone that has no padding. And I over protect him from everything because of this injury.

I would change the fact that my puppy doesn't let me pet her. That and the non stop biting but I'm pretty sure the biting will be fixed with time and training, the not letting me pet her I'm not so sure about. : /
What do you mean by not letting you pet her? Like she bites your hands? Or is she aggressively growling, shying away or fearful? I couldn't pet rogue for what seemed like forever without getting bit. Either correct it. Or re direct and wait it out. It goes away.
Eta. she was just a normal mouthy puppy. No aggression or fear. She just wanted to play and bite anything that moved.
I would change plenty of things about her, but she's young and they're just training and maturity issues so I actually WILL change those things about her.
The one I worry about is chasing and biting her tail. We redirect every single time, and I know it's more common in puppies, but I worry that it will become a long-term problem for her.
I would change Zelda's physical health to be a normal healthy and active young GSD. I can take all of her many behavioral problems, but her health seems to be way out of my ability to help her with- and that is what i am afraid of, losing her or not being able to help her as much as i would like to
I would like Xerxes mothers owner not to be such a dork fighting with the AKC so I could have gotten papers on him even though he has a pedigree on both parents a mile long. The good news is I get another puppy when I feel more able to handle 3 German Shepherds when, hopefully, my health issues are resolved.
Well she's pretty much perfect now. The only thing I can think of is more affectionate. I think I'm going to get that anyway though because she is already much better than when she was really little.
My first wish would be that Ranger didn't have such a sensitive stomach. I would also be really happy if he was about half his current size (say 35 or 40 lbs.). I know most of you want a big dog but I didn't really want a GSD to begin with so I would love a smaller dog. Still my husband and I keep commenting about how the longer we have Ranger the smaller he seems.
akyah , you can't change her age , but you can change her weight which might add some years to her . 101 is heavy for a female that should weigh (standard) between 65 to 80 - average 70 pounds.
