I just got my 3month old GSD 2 weeks ago. I know he is just a baby, but I'm starting to get worried about the safety of my child. We has these incidents:
First of all, my son does not play rough with him at all. And I read stuff by Cesar Millan before getting him. Well after a couple days, He started barking at my two year old who was just sitting there watching t.v. He just went up to him and started barking at him like he didn't recognize him. Once I told him NO! and got between them he stopped. The next couple times it was more intense each time. Today my son was sitting on the couch and the pup was taking a nap, and when you woke up he started barking at him again. My son was about 15ft away from him. This time the pup started getting a mean growling and started walking back in forth in front of me. The pup stopped after a little bit, and when I started walking to my son he charged at my son with a scary growl. I had to grab the pup's neck and pin him to the ground. I didn't know what to do so I put him in his crate. Once in his crate he was back to normal, and even took a nap. He is crate trained. He has no other behavior problems at all, except chewing on everything which I'm sure is normal. I'm afraid my wife wants to give away the pup, because she is really scared for our child.
