New GSD - NEED HELP! - Page 3

That works great too,,,,,,,,,, when you want to teach the puppy/young dog that you are a weenie because you run and hide every time it bites you.

ohh and ofcourse be loving to her and encourage  her drives to develop... You just need to be strong when it comes to leadership (in moderation- dont go over the top), apart from that use positive techniques in your training and I am sure you will get a happy puppy!

To Phil:

"Use your knee,,,,,,,that fixes everything. Spay her,,,,,,,that fixes everything."

You are Joking right? I am sure you are....

 Phil, Phil, Phil, PHIL!!!! We're talking about a PUPPY here!! LOL!

I'm not so insecure that I have to come down hard on a pup just to save my ego from being bruised. 

Anyways, we're getting off topic: Get in a last word if you want, then maybe others will have some advice for the OP and her new puppy.

Figures, you were that awkwark kid in the back of the classroom!


LOL

You pretend you don't care, but I think you really do care~ 

He does care beetree...(hard to tell sometimes! LOL)...he's a good person to contact for help.
....I think so...

I sat in the middle, right up front,,,,,feet flat on the floor, hands folded, apple for my favorite (they were all my favorite) teacher every day.  Model student becomes model citizen,,,,,,,,,,,,,yeah, that's it.

Excuse me, but what would be the reason for redirecting to a toy or being concerned with drive development on a  7 month old American Show line dog with a novice  owner who has 3 kids, 2 of which are small, and said owner is ready to return the dog NOW for nipping, pissing and crapping in the house??????   We are talking about a 7 month old dog not an 8 week old puppy.

I'm pretty sure this dog is meant to be a pet, not headed for any grip sport future.  The dog needs to learn who the master is RIGHT NOW, and learn not to bite RIGHT NOW, with a very firm, very calm and  very clear hand.  This gal is panicking and nothing on a message board is really going to help her deal with a very wild puppy.  She needs to get with a professional who can SHOW her what to do, hands on with this puppy, and she probably needs to talk to the breeder and let them know she is not happy with this dog, it might be too much for her, considering her situation.

On the other hand it could just need a few days to settle down, but I would be surprised if that were the case,  I guess we will find out.
