Default Help with German Shephard

Hi

Our 6 month old German shepherd male puppy is showing aggressive behavior
toward our 2 sons. They are 19 and 21. He will bark at the sound of our
older son moving around in his room in the basement of our home. While
barking he will also back away as if he is afraid. We have tried yanking on
his choke chain and correcting him as advised by his breeder, but he still
carries on with the barking. He will let our son get close to him and pet
him, and while he has never bitten him, we are concerned. He is doing
somewhat better with our younger son, since he is around him more. The
strange thing is that he doesn't show any sign of this behavior around any
other males. We have taken him around other family members and their dogs,
and to the pet store with no problems. He is fine with other men that come
to the house and he is fine with my wife and our 17 year old daughter. He
was raised for the first 6 months by a single 60ish woman, who decided he
was too much for her. He is a good dog otherwise, seems to be pretty
intelligent and eager to learn. We don't know how to correct this behavior
and are open to suggestions. Thanks
