Hello Guys!,
I have a problem.. a big problem.. my father has bought a pure white german shepperd.. he knows nothing about training and the sort.. so me being the right of mind.. i know these dogs are smart.. so i've taken up the time.. time i dont have mind you, to train it. I've successfully house broken the dog , taught it to sit.. be police and not bite.. etc
But.. i have a big dilemma, the father has a habit of leaving the dog unleashed..he thinks the dog listens to him.. now the dog is used to having it's freedom and sorts.. apparently when people walk by the dog launches after them and starts growling.. today the dog went after little kids getting off the bus stop.. i'm a bit worried because if the dog gets in the habit of doing this we could end up in trouble.. or worse end up being sued for a rampant dog. The dog is only 4-5 months old.. but she's big as most of you know by having the dog yourself..
The dog is pretty much either intimidated by me or atleast respects me.. everytime i tell her to do something or sit or go to her cage she fellows and puts her ears down.
Food doesn't work with her. She's not enticed by it at all. which is making training difficult. Cage punishment is something ive tried with limited success..
please help....
