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 |
