Ive got to jump in this one!!! I have a 7 month old GSD, and alot of people think that they are aggressive dogs, Well I can tell you from experience it is the person that owns the dog...its is just like we do with yorkies we want to check out the parents and see if there are any bad traits...I personal know about alot of breeds and how they bite and carry on(mail lady) But I honestly feel that with any dog they need to be trained and continue training the rest of their life...My Max weighs 70 pounds at 7 months and he is very strong, instead of letting him run the house you have to be in charge or they will do what they want too...I love my dogs dearly but looking back I have let my yorkies own me where I put a double standard on Max, he tows the line.....Pit Bulls are the same why, just like children have to have rules and be shown how to do stuff so do our furbabies...If you just let a child do what ever they want and they know you really don't mean business, look at what your done to that child...So I have been working hard to show all my furbabies that I am the Alpha in the house and by making them behave and do what I tell them to do isn't wrong or bad, cause they need someone to watch and protect them...I have spent a small fortune on having Max trained and continuing training but I would do it again because that is showing my love for him....and I have also been training my yorkies
they are alot harder in some things but I bought them all and it is my responsibility to make sure they have the best life they can...and biting, driving everyone crazy, and being destructive isn't the best for them...this is my opinion and I am sure others will disagree and thats fine but I will tell you the truth ever since I have been training Max and working with the holy terrors, life has been alot nicer for me & them...& before anyone ask I don't beat, hit, or abuse any of my animals...They all want to please you and by making them do stuff you tell them, is showing love...
