Raider is our 3 month old GSD. We have been socializing him with both dogs and people. He is great with people to include kids and is even good with our cat, but he is aggressive with other dogs , barking, growling and snapping in a more than playfull manner. He seems to do this more with smaller/younger dogs. I will keep taking him out and socializing but does anyone have any advice?

Sounds like a typical young puppy to me

This is totally unacceptable behavior. If he's this bad at 3 mos, just think what he's going to be like at a year.

He is most likely fearful of other dogs and should be exposed to very dog safe dogs that will just lay down in order to less threatening, then really encourage the puppy for being good while getting after him for his aggression.

Elaine, I agree, I am having trouble finding DOG SAFE dogs to take him to but I am determined to have this not fester.
