barking and agressive behaviour - Page 5

I would not encourage anyone to run out and buy a shock collar, I would never recommend one to most dog owners I know.

Yeah my dogs would eat the spray bottle and bark all the more because it would only excite them more.

A GSD was meant to bark, you just need to teach it what to bark at and when.

Oh yes, I've used a newspaper, sometimes my bare hands.

The Koehler method dude you just dated yourself. Koehler really and you wouldn't use a prong you gotta be kidding me. Koehler is one of the most abusive methods around.

No I said I use a longe line and his methods do not all appeal to me.
Yes I use a prong at times on my big male who's coat is so thick and he has a thick neck but not to train.
Yes I have used E-collars as well for very specific problems.
Koehler still has valid points even now.

I'm sixty years old J.

Two moons 
        I respect that.

Thank you J.

This female is 8 months old and "adopted"...

Are we talking about an agressive bitch or are we talking about a frightened pup?
Did she have any socialization?
None of us know.

We only can assume - and I assume ( maybe I´m totally wrong ) that this is the OP´s first German Shepherd,
and the OP is the typical pet owner.
Taking care of 5 dogs is a lot of work, training a teenage shepherd isn´t that easy for a beginner.
Bonding may become difficult - too much distraction of the other dogs.

This dog needs obedience ( heeling, come, sit, and down ) and something useful to do.
A prong is a good tool, but in this case only if the dog is agressive, not, if it´s afraid of anything.

I´d visit a club, otherwise the problems will become much bigger soon.

Hello I am working at it, but no way this dog will be put to a end I continue to thry to find a way to stop this bahaviour. She is a nice dog that still has to learn a lot and all this because the first owner didn't teach her the basics

Hello thank you for the suggestions first with the other dogs they obey at my voice every single one of them The DGS is the first dog I have this problem with because i didn't have her as a puppy. She listen to her name but when she is caught in the barking behaviour she haves  no ears anymore. So I take her a lot with me alone to thry getting her there where i want her namely a dog where I can go with everywhere just like the others. With my other dogs she have no problem she's playing with them like a normal dog should. I will not use any collar to correcting her she has to learn to responding on the tone of my voice.

Well said.  True what you say about the previous owner not teaching her any basics.  Lots of luck with her, and with correcting this.  It isn't uncommon for such dogs to be 'mouthy' and distracted around  dogs and other things they find strange. Just hang in there & keep working with her.

Sometimes you have to find a dogs value system. You have to try alot of things think out side the box. Once you find out what the dogs values are then you can teach basic commands.Once you know the dog knows those commands i would get a good video on a remote collar. A step by step guide to remote collar training that is informative is by.
