very structured training for the GSD. I don't know that dogs can have real "jealously" in the terms that a human would. Overall sounds like the GSD is being a bit of a brat! One good place to start is to have your dog work on a "nothing in life is free" type program.

good to be feeding them separate at this point.

ELLE MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO STOP BEING SO DAMN SEXY.

I was having that problem with too. My old aussie would go crazy if she had a bowl of feed and another dog would walk by. She is a very slow eater. I now feed them, one to a crate, except the aussie, she gets to eat free. After 30 minutes I let the others out, and close the crates behind the. If after 30 minutes there is food left I take it up and make a notation on the calander.

I was also having the same issue for treats.
Our dogs have to do "doggie situps" to gain a treat.

Sit, down, sit, stand, sit, back, down, sit - ok - (it changes each time) after all that only the dogs that do it correctly get their treat. I make sure that I dont' feed treats while the dogs are together............just breeds trouble.

The Aussie is 10 and has severe HD, she feels that she cannot defend her food and therefore shows much agression.

Best I advise I can give is - keep um seperated - while training with treats, and feeding and no free treats.

so sorry to hear about aussie with hd,my gsd has it and ed he has,nt been very well lately and wondered if this had anything to do with the way my gsd was with my westie,he could,nt walk for a few week and was very aggresive with my westie and was kept completly seperate,do you think this has caused it.

For her HD, I have been giving her SmartFlex Repair by SmartPak. A 2 lb container costs about $50 bucks and lasts a year for 4 dogs. They get 1/8 tsp per feeding top dressed - it smells like cool-ade, the dogs don't dogs eat as usuall.

I started this about 3 months ago and Mattie has improved - on our off leash pack walks, she trots and even runs a bit. She will also go up and down the stairs with out showing near as much pain......and is generally much less grumpy.

Glucosamine HCL
MSM
Chondroitin Sulfate
Hydrolized Collagen Orthosilic Acit
Magnesium
Grape Seed (don't know what that one's for)
Sodium Hyaluronate ( Hyluranic Acid)

I adopted my Aussi from a rescue org. She was 12 weeks old when I got her. She has spent the previous 6 weeks fighting for her life at the vet's office. She came from a puppy mill, the owners were not making enough money so they walked - leaving all the dogs and puppies in their cages to starve. The stentch was so bad that a neighbor call it in.

Mattie has had the life of a Queen. She is smart, very well trained and generally a sweetheart. Though as with all dogs she has her issues.........She is the most emphathetical (sp???).

it really annoys me when people do that to any dog, how could they leave them all to starve,i think i did,nt go to the best of breeders with all the health issues my oscar has,he is only 10mth old,maybe thats why he his spoilt and behaving badly to my westie.i do hope yours are ok.

have you started obedience with your 10 month?

he is acting like he wants to be alpha..............

YOU must be alpha - and as alpha, you must not let the pup act disrespectfully to other dogs.

repitition with obedience commands is all it takes for you to become alpha.........it really works.

We have an 11 month old GSD & a 11 Yr old Golden retriever. The only issue we have ever had with jealousy is when it comes to human affection. From day one when giving the older dog (Sunny) attention, Zach (GSD) gets ignored, no matter HOW much he tries to get in the way. After doing this for a little while he seemed to get the hint to "wait his turn." But we also did this right from day one. We didn't want Sunny to feel slighted in any way when we got a new puppy. We always have made sure she gets just as much attention as Zach. Still, he does get a little "antsy" when it comes time for affection from "mom", but he's not obnoxious. If he starts "crawling out of his skin' he gets a "Sit - wait" until I'M ready for him.

We have a 2 year old GSD & if anything is smaller than her, she lets them know she is boss.
I had brought home a chiuaua one day after work, I couldn't let the poor thing out of my arms because my GS kept trying to eat him. Recently, we got a 6 week old german shepherd puppy a few weeks ago.. My 2 year old does not have as big of a problem with him as she did the chiuaua, unless the puppy gets near her food bowl. We have also seperated them while they eat.
