I have a fair question that some of you would be able to help me :)

If you have adult male GSD, but later in time you bought a male puppy GSD; and that puppy always show fear and kneel in front of an adult male, but later when your puppy grows older and hit 8 months of age and your adult male try to hop your male puppy as he would be consider him as an female in heat. I always tell my adult male to STOP and live the puppy along. And I really get tired of this; at what age the puppy would be able to stand up for himself and tell my older GSD to STOP.

I' am looking forward of your responses :)

Thank you!

this depends on the puppy and if he feels he is more dominate than your adult, he may never want to dominate, so he will let your adult do this.

this is a dominate problem, which your adult male feels he is the boss and your pup is coming into being a male, so this is why he may just of started this...

i would not let your male do this as it could be stressing out your puppy.

Thanks for helping me :)

I keep them apart from each other when I' am not around, so my pup is safe :)

Never let any one Dog dominate the other regardless of age, You are the only dominate one among your Dogs not the other way round, Stop it now and get it sorted quick

Steve has it right. You are the alpha/pack leader. You control the pack's actions. The young dog is your property and the older dog should understand and respect this.

Your older dog is not gay, what he is doing is NOT GOOD AT ALL for your puppy, he is being DOMINANT (not dominate) over the younger dog.

As far as WHEN will the younger one stand up for himself question...? If you allowed this to happen this long, and you shouldn't have, the answer is - never.

I 'am really nice and polite to my older male and I never had no-issues before with him - but one time my older GSD male really piss-me-off, I had to take extreme measures, but he is learning when I said NO and live the pup alone.

you don't understand how dogs think and you do not understand pack dynamics. Dogs want you to be their leader, not nice and polite to them.

What do you mean?

If I'am not at home I want 2 of my dogs have a peace together; my older male will learn and give respect to younger male in the future, because I don't want my young male to be a loser.

i mean, if you allowed this to happen for this long, the younger dog will never stand up for himself and will always be a lower ranked member on the totem pole. that's how it works with dogs, it's all about the ranks.

He is NOT aloser. Just a lower ranked member of the pack because he was bullied by the older dog since he was a baby because you allowed that to happen.
