This is a question about appropriate puppy/dog play and on-leash greetings. I have not allowed on leash greetings with my 6 month old pup for the past month because he gets overly excited and needs to learn that not every dog we see on the street is a play mate. But a couple with a big poodle...

Hello! My boyfriend and I are new GSD owners, our pup is 8 months now. His nipping/biting has been getting worse. He bites me in particular most of the time. I'll be sitting on the couch and he'll just come up and start biting at me and not wanting to let go. I try telling him No & Stop, I try...

What are your opinions on using a remote collar or a prong collar as a correction for inappropriate behavior such as biting? My one year old GSD is very mouthy when he’s bored, anxious, or tired. We’ve tried everything to teach him that it’s unacceptable behavior (redirecting, yelping, stopping...

Hello, I‘ll try to keep this short and to the point. I have a 1 year old GSD who we’ve been taking to basic obedience classes since he we brought him home at 8 weeks. He was attacked by another dog when he was 3 months old. We’ve had a personal dog trainer to work on some behavior issues...

Our 5month old male baby’s testosterone has started to take over and while he is very well behaved at home and in our training sessions around the house he turns into a little piranha the moment he is at the park and on a lead! When he is off lead (in the allowed areas of course) he is very...

I just adopted a 3.5 month old GSD who was living with a loving family who didn’t realize the responsibility associated with a dog when they rescued him. Leo was 5 weeks old when he was separated from his parents, and lived with the previous family for 2 months. He’s an AMAZING pup - but he...

Hi everyone, I have been reading the threads here for a couple months and found a lot of useful information. We have a 7 month old female German shepherd. We got her at 8 weeks old from a reputable breeder in our area. This is our first GSD. From a young age she would jump and bite when wanting...

Hi! I'm a new GSD owner and my baby boy is now almost 19 weeks old. I love him very much but recently he has gotten so hard to deal with it has become so frustrating to my husband and I. My husband works full time and so it is mostly me who walks our boy, Oakie. I walk him twice a day for an...

Why is he doing this ?! It seems like his nipping is getting worse and he tries to attack sometimes. When he is nipping he’s told no and whatever playing we’re doing we stop. Thinking of getting a muzzle because we have 3 small kids

I’m a first time dog owner and I’m currently spending days stressing and crying about my 5 month old GSD wondering if I’m doing something wrong. We got him at two months old and he was so quiet, shy and overall had a calm temperament till he got around 4months of age. Very recently he’s...

I wrote on here about a year ago about my dog growling at me. It started first when he would just growl at us if he was injured. Then he started growling when he was mad like if we left him alone. When we came back he growled. We had to move in march to Indiana which made things worse and now we...

I've had my 9 week old GSD for about 2 weeks. He is usually very calm, sweet, and loving. A couple of times a day, he goes into this phase of non-stop biting any human around him. At first I could handle the biting, but it is becoming unbearable. He is leaving deep scratches and marks all over...

Hi there everyone, this is my first post and I’m new to this 😊 I have a 5 year old male long haired GSD. He has never been great around other dogs, but he has always been manageable and if we ever come across another dog on a walk then I would make him sit and watch the other dog walk past...

Hi so I noticed a bit of blood where my dog was laying and so I went to check his paws but nothing then and then I noticed that after lifting his tail up I saw what looks to be some skin hanging from his scrotum. I've seen him lick around there before but never noticed anything like this never...

My puppy is 9 weeks, and I got him when he was 7 weeks. So he's still super young. He is also my very first dog that I'm training. When I tell him no, he seems to understand and stop what he's doing that's naughty. But other times he sasses me, as in he'll bark at me. He does that when he's...
