Thank you, but I truly do not think this will work with the gsd.. she'd eat the rooster in a heart beat..

candis, I think you need to be more specific if you are having a problem. Aggression towards you, other dogs? I know this was just discussed recently, you might want to try using the Search Messageboard for some answers.

What the heck does wanting to eat a rooster have to do with dog agression. It is totally different.

Nancy, If you mean to take Ronnie seriously, that would be a mistake!

Ah yes, did not recognize that name. The avatar should have tipped me off; a bad egg makes an ugly bad rooster.

Obedience, obedience, obedience. I don't mean putzing around at the club on weekends. I mean your command is the word of God obedience, so precise she doesn't have the time to day for other dogs. You need to seek a trainer who can help you with this.

Candis, like KCzaja said, obedience, obedience!!! You must also learn to recognize your dog's body language. Also, what exactly is she doing? Is it real aggression or fear aggression, the two are different in origin. A good trainer can help you with this.
Once your girl has sit, stay, etc down pat, you will become familiar with her signs of agitation. You never correct a dog for behaving like a dog, (i.e. challenging another dog), you give her a command like heel and then correct her for not listening to you. By giving her a command she has learned BEFORE the aggression appears (i.e. before the tunnel vision hits and she is so focused on the other dog), you can redirect her attention to where is should be, on you. If you correct a dog for being a dog without giving a command, just correcting or saying "no" (I am not sure what you have done to this date, just giving an example), you can actually escalate her aggressive behavior because she is expecting a correction but unsure why (no command like heel or leave it).
Again, I am not sure what you have done so far, just giving examples of what I have learned and seen, not pointing fingers at you or saying anything bad about what you have done. Good luck, I went through this period with my young female, the fear aggression toward other dogs, she is so much better with lots of work.
