moons stated what I was thinking, do not create a fear biter. There is a fine line here with alot of the dogs.

I have never seen him fear, but there is always a first. I will be very cautious of that. You did bring up a good point, he has some East German lines, so he has matured very slow.

Wow, flanking by a stranger???? I would hate to be the stranger, any decent dog would nail the guy. That is a really dangerous idea for the stranger. It would be very difficult to hold a dog while a stranger flanked him so the stranger didn't get bit and you achieved the desired results. It's very late (0345) and I just got home from a busy night at work.

What you want to do is very easy to achieve. Use common sense and don't over think it. I'm too tired to really go into details.

You have to know how to do it properly Jim, to not get bitten.
Any dog, decent or not, is surprised and caught off guard if you've done it correctly.
This is for a rank dog who has not been trained yet in protection and who still trusts strangers, it really isn't for the amateur so perhaps I should not have even suggested it.
But I did, and it is effective.
Not that I care, or even want to debate it, but have you ever read any of Koehler's books, surely you have.
Some of it is great, and some of it is crap.
Bottoms up.

This is a disaster waiting to happen. If you have a GSD or other working breed, you already have a deterrent. If you are worried about your daughter, then put in a security system. Much cheaper and far less of a risk of an inappropriate response by the dog and/or your child. My recommendation is to be sure you have a LOT of personal liability insurance, and that the insurance company has no exclusions related to the dog or dog breed.

Hi Hodie,
Thank you for the suggestion. I already have a security system, and insurance for the dogs. I just want to step it up a notch.

When I lived in Stockton as a kid, I was a Latch key kid like yours Rugers , and I had 2 PP trained "Baby sitters" waiting at home with me. They where the foundation of our Kimmelot dogs, and they keep weirdo's from messing with me. My female was so sharp she would blankly bark down the hall if I said our key words, she was American line's .. but tough as nails.

Good luck with your boy.

Please disregard that "Report Abusive"----I went to type and hit a key and boom...that turned up. (lol). Sorry.

Anyway.....Rugers----I think you're damn lucky. Aren't you getting another pup? Those two together will form a pack and egg each other on. You'll probably get incessant barking without the dire consequences from REALLY making the dog suspicious of humans.

Yes she will be here in about two weeks

, They really won't be housed together though, I am building a kennel, and Ruger is the only one allowed inside... :-)
