Snowy, my white GSD, used to go nuts any time someone came to the door. I want him to bark, but I don't want him to scare away people who are welcome and he was doing that. He is HUGE (he is over 100 pounds) and while I appreciate his protectiveness... I am happy to report this is no longer an...

We have a 4-month-old GSD. She’s a beauty, completely black and from a working line. We’ve been working with her a lot. We got her at eight weeks and we went to school right away because we wanted her to be social. Which might’ve been the first mistake because it was January and only one school...

Hi all! I am new to the website, and a new GSD owner. I am constantly training my new 16 week old puppy Mayko and we are also currently in our 3rd week of group class at a local obedience and sport club.

Our puppy is growing nicely and at 7 months, Zoé is a joy, a sweet dog, she settles nicely, is overall well behaved and starts to heel well. My hb has done a great job at training her consistently and that has paid off. The only concern we have and not sure how to address properly is that on...

First, let me explain that I grew up with dogs and love them as much as anybody here. The problem I have are my neighbor's dogs, two German Shepherds (GSD's on this site). I honestly think there is something mentally wrong with them. They bark incessantly at absolutely nothing, oh perhaps the...

Hi guys, new to the forum!! Looking for someone who can shed light on this... So my German Shepherd Specks has been going crazy barking lately, for no reason at all. I recently got a device to stop her from barking, and what pulled me in was that it didn't use shocks or pain. (Which I love!)...

No matter what I do my GSD just barks. This is a big problem since I have neighbours. She is 7.5 months old and an outdoors dog. She literally will not shut up. How can I teach her not to bark at nothing? She doesn’t constantly bark, she barks every 30 minutes for a couple of minutes. It’s not...

Hello, my dog barks at adhan and sirens, how can I teach her not to? She’s 7 months old and she’s a german shepherd rottweiler mix I don’t mind her barking but my neighbours do as adhan is played 5 times a day and the barking gets annoying. + here are some pics of Zelda :) -Adhan is the...

Hi all, my male GSD is a little over 6mo now. He started getting reactive around 4.5mo where he barks, growls, hackles, and lunges at almost every dog he sees and most people. This happens on walks and when he sees or hears things in the house, he’ll also do that for any squirrels or birds he...

My 6 mo old workingline gsd is constantly trying to chase and bark at my cat somewhat aggressively. It has gotten to the point that our cat practically lives in our bedroom (which is so unfair for her). When my dog is in his crate, he constantly barks at my cat when she is just roaming around...

Have had him since he was a puppy. He doesn’t bite any of us (me and my two kids) but shows complete aggression towards my wife and has bitten her very hard to the point she cried with pain (drawing blood and made her hand completely swollen). When I say aggression, I mean he barks, growls...

We are getting increasingly worried about our female German Shepherd puppies aggression towards strangers on her walks. We have taken her to puppy training classes where she has been okay. She will sometimes bark at the other dogs there but settles very quickly, even if they are barking at her...

Hi, I have a 5 month old male German Shepherd puppy (obviously!) who is a gem in every way, except one... He never used to have this issue and I can't pinpoint any bad experience that would have elicited it, but he has begun to bark at every dog he sees on walks as we pass by. And I mean really...

Hi all, We have a 6 month old german shepherd puppy. Ever since she was around 4 months old she started barking in the evenings and it's getting worse as she gets older. During the day she is fine, but once it starts getting dark at night, she starts guarding the windows and barks at literally...

I have an 11 month old female who is WONDERFUL. She is extremely calm, and very loving to her favourite humans. However, I am a single male in my 30s and dating and entertaining guests is a part of my life. She gets a 5 km (3.1 mi) run with me in the morning, every other day she gets to go...
