Anyone know of a good trainer in North West Florida, Panama City area?

9 week puppies do these things, especially puppies with drive.
what do you want to DO with this puppy?
maybe a better choice would have been a fully trained young adult......

Also, make sure to be direct when the puppy bites by saying "no bite" so the dog will learn what behavior to correct.
I just want to throw it out there at GSD's are herding dogs so it is common for puppies to bite your ankles, knees, or legs. The dog is basically trying to herd you. If the pup is biting your ankle, do not continue to walk - as he will just hold and drag behind you. Stop walking, ignore the dog, and once he lets go of your ankle - then leave the room and shut the door.
Good luck!

WTF is wrong with you ?? That is the DUMBEST advice I have ever seen written to date. The pup needs to get grabbed by the back of the neck and shook most likely. How old is the son ?? CP, is that cerebal palsy ?? The kid is over there shaking, and the pup is responding in prey. What do you expect the puppy to do ?? Neither party can help what is going on.
Probably not a situation for the pup. But then again, I guess people don't figure that this not a situation in which I would get a GSD puppy.

price of such a puppy varies, depending on blood lines and where which kennel. many times these older puppies have had their hips and elbows already prelim'ed too. there are many working line puppies that after months of training just don't show the drive to be competitve and are then sold to pet homes.

I am in contact with local "Dog Smart" training franchise and have expressed my problems with her biting. They said that now (9 weeks old) is the best time to rid her of this bad habit.
Thanks for advice.......I will keep all posted.
Still open to suggestions!
Jim.

You will have a much better chance of having a positive outcome later.

My 14 week old caught my 1 year old in the face the day we brought him home and was firmly diciplined and hasn't done it since, but he deffinitely is still exploring boundaries and he still nips me and the bigger kids, and will try to take food from the baby. He is a constant concern as it would be with a puppy of his age no matter what the breed. We started basic training the day we got him. We have been working with a clicker and have mastered sit and down and almost have stay mastered.
When I see behaviour that I don't like i command a sit or a down and he stops. Bo Bite has worked well as well. I do sit or down mostly when we are outside and he's packing off laundry or kids toys and wants to play keep away or catch me if you can. For biting or table surfing I say no or no bite and be is slowly catching on.
We don't have room for a dog that isn't well behaved. We live on 5 acres but our dogs are inside with the family. Our house is 1100 square feet and there is me, my husband, 7 y/o daughter, 6 y/o son, 1 y/o son, 2 y/o female GSD, 14 week old male GSD, 3 year old tabby cat, 2 bunnies and an 8 week old GSD female coming home next week. I run a tight ship or things get out of control FAST.

Biting in a 9 week old pup is not a reason to throw in the towel, very disappointing anyone would suggest it.
