\r\n <!-' + '- google_ad_section_start -' + '->I got a white german shepard (about 14 weeks now) few weeks ago from a backRyard breeder and I think it\'s one of the worst thing I\'ve ever done. I didn\'t know the breeder was a backyard breeder till after a bought the puppy. She won\'t stop biting. I\'ve tried everything, offering her a chew toy, yelling no, giving a sharp yelp, pretty much everything except shock collar which I\'m saving for last resort though I fear I need to buy one really soon, if they\'re legal. She is a threat to my other pets as she keeps chasing them. My dad\'s is usually over cautious and protective but not sure why he isn\'t now. He lets her roam around where his bunnies live and I almost had to plan a funeral in many occasions. Tomorrow he plans to introduce her to my cat which he is drunk if he thinks that\'s gunna happen. My cat is my first pet and one of the most important thing in my life. Is there anything I can do to train the puppy? I have a muzzle but that won\'t help her claws. You can say I\'m wrong but I honestly believe she the worst puppy I\'ll ever meet, unless I become a professional dog whisperer or something. Lots of my friends have dogs and they\'re angels compared to her. My dad doesn\'t listen to me on these things, so he keeps on screwing up. I\'ll never forgive myself if my pet died. Im sorry if I ranted too much. Btw does anyone know a good doberman breeder? I really really hate white german shepards right now. Sorry but this dog tried to attack me and my family.

A walk around the block is not exercise for a pup like this. They need to run and get exausted. Chasing a ball in the backyard is good exercise for him.

I was worried about it but my dad said it was nothing so I told myself to forget about it. It rised to my attention again when I noticed the german shepards I saw in pictures had their ears on top of their heads pointing up, while my pup\'s ears are erect but to the side like a chihuhua, and looks like a fennec fox.<!-' + '- google_ad_section_end -' + '->\r\n

\nAggression and attacks by GSDs on people is due to poor handling and training. Problems arise when an owner allows the GSD to believe he is pack leader over humans and or does not give the GSD with the mental and physical daily exercise they need to be stable. A walk around the block, or playing in the back garden is just not good enough for them. You must be authoritative over the dog in a calm, but firm, confident and consistent way. A well trained*GSD is for the most part generally good with other pets and excellent with children in the family. But they must be firmly trained in obedience from an early age. GSDs who have passive owners and whose instincts are not being met can, become prone to fear biting. They should be trained and socialized from an early age. GSDs will not listen if they sense that they are stronger minded than their owner, however they will also not respond well to harsh discipline. (Please do not use that shock collar)The daily exercise must always include daily walks to satisfy the dogs migration instinct. If under-exercised and or mentally challenged, the GSD can become restless, destructive And Aggressive. GSDs Do best with a job to do.<!-' + '- google_ad_section_end -' + '->\r\n

Regretting I ever bought this puppy
I got a white german shepard (about 14 weeks now) few weeks ago from a backRyard breeder and I think it's one of the worst thing I've ever done. I didn't know the breeder was a backyard breeder till after a bought the puppy. She won't stop biting. I've tried everything, offering her a chew toy, yelling no, giving a sharp yelp, pretty much everything except shock collar which I'm saving for last resort though I fear I need to buy one really soon, if they're legal. She is a threat to my other pets as she keeps chasing them. My dad's is usually over cautious and protective but not sure why he isn't now. He lets her roam around where his bunnies live and I almost had to plan a funeral in many occasions. Tomorrow he plans to introduce her to my cat which he is drunk if he thinks that's gunna happen. My cat is my first pet and one of the most important thing in my life. Is there anything I can do to train the puppy? I have a muzzle but that won't help her claws. You can say I'm wrong but I honestly believe she the worst puppy I'll ever meet, unless I become a professional dog whisperer or something. Lots of my friends have dogs and they're angels compared to her. My dad doesn't listen to me on these things, so he keeps on screwing up. I'll never forgive myself if my pet died. Im sorry if I ranted too much. Btw does anyone know a good doberman breeder? I really really hate white german shepards right now. Sorry but this dog tried to attack me and my family. It bit my dads neck and our tendants in our foot.
