I have a 3-year-old GSD who is very high-energy but generally well-behaved. He does jump on people a bit (I have an appt with a trainer to fix that), and has a notoriously weak stomach (never stray from his normal food!)
I've been living alone for all of his life, so I've been a bit slack on his manners, but overall he's the typical lovey-dovey GSD. I do take him to the dog park every day and he's better behaved after it than before...
Now I'm getting engaged and moving in with my fiancee, who has two daughters (12, 7). They have never been dog people. They don't dislike dogs or anything, they've just never grown up with or had a dog.
And unfortunately, for the next year or so, it's going to be a small 3-bedroom ranch
So...any advice on this mini-Brady-Bunching? ;-) The kids haven't met my guy yet. Any ideas on first introductions? Making it work better? I can't be the first guy who's had this experience...any advice appreciated!
