My GSD bit me.
CAVEAT ------------------------------------------------------------
Now HOWE, you have had your say. Just shut up and let these other people have a chance to say something themselves. Your name calling and insults are not necessary. I have all the information from you I need. I also have my OWN mind and I need to make up MY OWN MIND. I'm sorry but I am not one of your dogs, get it? CAVEAT ------------------------------------------------------------ The question: I have a four year old male GSD. He growls at me sometimes. When he growls at me he stares me in the face and lays his ears back. The New Skete books say that the dog should not be allowed to do that. They suggest shaking down the dog by grabing the dog on the sides of his neck and picking him off his front feet, then giving the dog the same sort of treatment the dog would give another if it were challenging him. Namely getting in the dogs face and letting the dog know you are the alpha dog. Well, my dog bit me clearly he felt that I was not convincing enough or he bit me out of fear. Anyone got ideas on what to do with this dog that might help him to decide that he wants to follow and that he has nothing to fear from me?
