New to all of this with a quick question - Page 3

I think Mistycal is having fun with you nice folks.

No one is that stupid, and if they are, you better stay clear of them.

No offense misty,  I just don't wanna bite today.

Moons.

Misty, you claim to have come here looking for advice and after people took time to give it to you, you seem unwilling to follow any of it.  You are not going to take her to the vet despite obvious major neurological issues, you are going to attempt to work with her yourself based on videos on youtube rather than consult a knowledgeable trainer/behaviorist and you won't consider putting her out of his misery.  From what you describe, I don't believe this will ever be a happy, well adjusted dog but it's not really about doing what's best for the dog; is it?  It's about you.

If you insist on taking the course of action you've chosen, you need to work on problem behaviors and I'm not sure how many videos on the subject you'll be able to find.  Start with the food agression and no, your progress is no real progress at all.  Look up NILIF or 'Nothing In Life Is Free' and read about it...then read some more.  Start feeding her by hand and make her do something, even if it's just sitting quietly or lying down, for every bite.  Put her toys up, she only gets to play with them when you say she can and she has to do something for you before you give them to her.  Make her sit before she goes outside and before she comes back in...extend this philosophy to everything she gets...everything comes directly from you and she has to do something to get it.  Good luck; you'll need it.

In answer to the question about the white patch on her leg, that probably comes from whatever dog jumped the fence and impregnated these people's bitch.  Your dog is a GSD mix...that's why you don't have papers, that's why her ears don't stand up and that's why someone was selling her out of a van in the WalMart parking lot.

Misty overplayed her hand with the 'don't want to put her in a cage' the reason not to go to the vet and the feeding with a broom.

Mistycal, you might do well to have the vet check her. She might have a brain injury. Sometimes they can tell when they look into the optic nerve. 

You got screwed. That's just a shame. I freaking HATE back yard breeders. Should be a prison sentence behind that shit.

Now,
I'm going to go to walmart, and I just happen to have $400.00 dollars on me.
And I'm going to buy a puppy out of the back of a truck from a stranger.   
The nice man who knocked a hundred dollars off the price and had no papers on him.
Please.

If there was any chance this was real I would say shoot the dog and hang yourself before any reproduction takes place.

But it's not so play and have your fun.

Moons.

Moons:   Were you the man at Walmart that knocked off   POOR MISTY?    lol

I agree with FHTracker;

And you people are being played.
No way the daughter of a Police man would act like this lady>

You don't want advice lady..or you would know to put this poor dog down.

You do not let a dog sleep
in a bed .
Kennels are for dogs and a bed is for Humans

No more advice needed

Find some information and learn a lesson .

You don't need a german shepherd.   A maltese or a Schnauzer would be what you need.

Sorry but you got into something you cannot handle. If you are real:

With no name , identity hiding behind a name , I choose to believe you are not REAL anyway.

Oh freaking garbage. My dog is as tough as they get and she sleeps in my bed. 

Misty,

I'd have to see a picture of this white patch.  Is it on both hind legs or just one?  More importantly, why are you poking her food with a broom?  If she is being food aggressive you need to stop feeding her for a couple of days, plenty of water, no food.  Then feed her the food by hand (very carefully) piece by piece.  She needs to understand this food comes from you.  I'm still very concerned about the seizures and night terror behavior.  You must get her to a vet ASAP regardless of how she reacts around other animals.  Call, make an appointment.  Tell the staff of your concerns and they will work you in as the last visit of the day or after hours so she is not exposed to other animals.  You may be asked to bring a muzzle so do so.  As far as puttting her into a cage...you need a new mindset.  It is not cruel.  Most dogs love to be in their crate.  it is like a den and she will feel safe there.  The only down side I see to you crating her would be her refusing to come out once she gets used to it and possibly defending it from you.  Trust me, you will not be harming her by putting her in a crate from time to time.  And 6 months is more than enough time for her to be used to you.  If you can't bear to put her down I wish the best of luck to you.  You are going to need it.  We will try to help you if you are willing to take the advice offered.

I admit I have seen this happen at wally world, but no....twas not me.

I don't know that she is "stupid" possibly naive or maybe just having fun with people like me who would try to help.  If the latter is the case shame on her as I will always try to help and often end up being the naive one.  LOL on me.  We were all naive if not stupid at one point or another in our lives.  Give her the benefit of a doubt before deciding it's not for real.
