I’ve said this in previous videos of this dog. You have made this dog much more secure, and he seems so much more happy! More relaxed. You impress me all the time with your training methods! “You Rock!”
@@AmericanStandardK9 no thanks needed! You are by far one of the best trainers I’ve ever seen. You’re a no nonsense trainer and as a lifelong dog lover, your help is immensely appreciated and so valuable to any dog lover. I’m trying with my 125 pound guy. I’m super glad he’s not even close to being aggressive and that’s do to my discovery of your channel. My respects to you Sir.
Look at how HAPPY he is at the end at the hardware store, out in public. It's unbelievable. Even his coat looks better. Face looks more relaxed. He looks years younger just from the confidence and spirit he has gained through structure and training. Incredible work.
That was insane to watch. Just goes to show it really is us as owners to check our behaviours and how what we do 99% of the time causes all the 'problems' we see in our dogs. Very inspiring video ❤
It's amazing the stuff you can accomplish with some proper know how! Your training for eliminating lunging on walks has been a life saver for us and we are constantly watching more videos for other stuff that we can use to better our dogs life! Thanks for the videos :D
Happy to hear it! We have an entire suite of courses on DIYK9.com as well for more detailed lessons. We cover everything from puppy training to off-leash obedience :)
You’re a genius minus allowing the piano music in the vid. Seriously though, thank you for sharing what you do. It’s helped me ton loads. Your programs are stellar.
Nice work sir. Thank you for saying this takes time, not five minutes. This is so important for people to understand. It takes solid training and time.
Garret - Great video content! It is amazing how you are able to transform Zeke, an aggressive German Shepard, into an obedient and loving companion. Looking forward to the next video.
Fantastic results after so much work and patience. 18 month old male GSD? Definitely at the goodball stage. It was clear he'd been shut down from some sort of "over correction" and then without clear boundaries or "tasks", he's going to take the lead - so to speak- in spite of his lack of confidence. Was he an intact male? I love how you preach that the dog's training should simply be implemented as part of one's lifestyle. Consistency is key. My dogs simply knew, no meal until you're in a sit; you don't go up or down the stairs before me. No commands necessary after a certain point, because it was part of life the moment they came into my home. Beautiful work; beautiful dog. I hope they keep up the good work! ETA: Escalators low key freak me out too! Can I get some dark chocolate to help? 😅
I'll never understand why people get dogs they can't train or control. Why buy a dog just because you like the looks of the dog especially working breeds
This woman has not stopped touching the dog on the head and the neck. What was it going to take for her to Stop ?! ...We saw it ! Lesson learned. One more thing : she does not like the dog. I bet my fortune that it was the gentleman idea, and she went along reluctantly. And the dog feels it...
Some collars can easily be adjusted "accidentally" without owners realizing.. So yes, someone could 100% crank an E.collar without knowing & accidentally light up a dog on 100.. I've done it myself 🤷♂️ but, it's definitely not going to harm the dog or mess up the training either.
@mikefrost1312 simply irresponsible for anyone to NOT check the equipment before training. Every time. Takes half a second to look at it. Doesn't make any difference if it was unintended, honestly. Some people should just get a cat.
@NoNo_IStay so you're saying you've never accidentally left the parking brake on? Or forgot to signal etc.? Maybe you looked at your phone while driving?
i love everything about this video. Dont get me wrong i dont like that the dog bites his owner but people need to understand you dont buy a dog just to have a dog. Thank you for this video ! Alot of work to do with my dog. Appreciate all the work you do ! Greetz from germany
My GSD sits slowly like Zeke. She has HD. Sitting is painful, unless she's had her pain meds. Has also shown aggression when in pain. She is UK Working Bred [Police] with a straight back, and not overangulated, as this dog is. Have him x-rayed please.
I've never understood why some people get certain dog breeds before having the basic knowledge to deal with them. A lot of dog's are lost because of it. At least this one has a chance now,
Exactly. I plan on getting an APBT for my next dog and I can’t tell you how much research I’ve done on the breed. I didn’t just search things up online. I talked to people who have owned the breed, read books written by fanciers and enthusiasts so I could better understand the breed and its history. I went to an ADBA show back in September and plan on going to a UKC show this November. Making sure I’m a good owner and advocate is something I take very seriously.
@@blueflare3848it begs the question given all the gentle soft natured breeds out there, why you feel the need to get the number 1 in almost every metric for fatal attacks? Like why don’t you get something that literally isn’t capable of killing other animals or humans? What malfunction do you have that you feel the desire to get an animal whatever the bullshitters out there say is and was bred to fight other dogs.
@@Hereward47 Well for starters, most of the dogs involved in those “pit bull” attacks aren’t APBTs because the general public doesn’t know how to tell the difference. Second, any dog of a decent size and strength is capable of maiming or killing a person or animal. It can and does happen. German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Cane Corsos, Huskies, Great Danes. Even small dogs have killed infants and toddlers or small animals. So yes, a poorly trained and/or poorly bred Pit Bull _is_ capable of some serious damage. They are not inherently more violent than any other breed, but the wrong kinds of people getting their hands on these dogs, along with an influx of backyard breeders producing unstable individuals, has led to tragic incidents. The same thing has happened to other breeds throughout the years. The worst thing that can happen to a breed is for it to become popular. There are people who have owned nothing but Pit Bulls for their entire lives and have decades worth of experience who have never had an incident with their dogs.

I'm a trainer and work with your methods along with my own turns great these are powerful dogs have a xlbullymix with staffy and adoped a rott sheperd but put him in check now a service dog in training she's helping out alot too our first dog . They bonded well and took them 2 days safety to adjust
From zero to hero... Well, every step of the way I just saw magic tricks. You are truly a magician with these dogs. I am so glad that Zeke had this opportunity and support to overcome his issues.
My country neighbor had a dog just like this. Same breed, same attitude. They never taught him to do anything and it showed. He would lunge and attack them when they told him "no".He ran the house and the neighborhood. He unfortunately severely bit the mom so badly shes undergone 4 surgeries on her hand. The dog was euthanized. He was just over a year old.
My adopted uncle doesn't want his beligium m mix not trained at all my two dogs are fully trained well one is almost fully service dog trained and one already has biteworl 102 training the Second dog will begin soon . His doesn't even listen to recall runs loose I streets but shes no harm
So he doesn't like being touched around the neck but she is touching him absentmindedly on his head. Not even watching the dog. This is why dogs bite owners. I use the same e collar as you and I have been a trainer for 20 years. I have only used the e collar for the past year. You don't accidently get to 100. These owners are negligent all the way around. This is what trainers deal with all the time. This is exactly why I don't train for anyone unless it's a special circumstance anymore.
I had made the same comments early today about the fact that she would not stop touching the dog on the head and the neck. I think she even did it on their first visit after the three week training. She obviously tried to 'connect' with the dog, and to me, just to please the husband. I presume that she went along with getting the dog but... ~~~~ As to e-collar, I too have wondered how it would be set to 100 accidentally. Perhaps, but that is pure negligence. At least, I am glad the owner mentioned it ! What those people thought getting this breed ?! And what about the two other trainers (???) ? Incompetent or irresponsible, or both.
@@fredericlinden This is not an easy breed for sure. I can tell you from experience that there are a lot of trainers who lack experience or are so full of themselves that they can't train a dog. Then you get those that are just positive only training. They will recommend putting a dog down before admitting failure. ASDT does a great job at balanced training and explaining the steps and why and when you need to use e collar or collar corrections. He doesn't do it for fun and he doesn't do it to hurt the dog. There are other balanced trainers out there, but not many I appreciate.
I stumbled across your channel by accident. Normally I wouldn't be interested since I have a pathological fear of dogs since I've been bitten by one many years ago and since then, it changed my perspective on dogs. I'm more of a cat person. But your videos are helping me by making me rethink my view on dogs and that not all dogs are evil like I had been thinking. Normally, when I see any dog, I cross on the other side due to my extreme fear. This videos can help others like me with fear of dogs! Thank you!
Im glad i found your channel. I have a service dog & she's a cattle dog. She was always nipping at my feet. It took me over a year to break her of that habit. Even though she's over 10 years old. She still herds my husbands cats into the corner & will pen them there. Im still not giving up on breaking her of that habit. Each & everyday i brush up & fine tune her training. Doesn't matter how young or old you're dog is. They must have constant training.
This is what happens when people try “all positive, I hope my asshole puppy feels good” type of dog ownership. And there are a lot of trainers being forced to forgo pinch collars because of an outspoken bunch of amateurs who would never deal with a dog like this. Good work. Dogs that live with handlers are happier than dogs that live with owners. And when the general public stops being owners and starts being handlers, dogs with thrive.
@ agreed. And that can be taught when they’re puppies by reinforcing a calm mental state. I’m working with a 1 yr old Boerboel that’s had none of this done with him. Now I have a full powered adult who has the physical capability to make his own will happen. The saving grace is that he’s highly intelligent, willing to work, and takes verbal corrections well. So he’s coming around quickly. But for a normal owner, he’d be too much. He’s a humane case and the old shitbag owner created the problem by just tying him up. Almost fixed now.
My dog was a problem for awhile and we found a great trainer and it totally transformed her. So please don’t give up on your dogs before you get everything
These are the videos that made your channel so popular. I get wanting to do different things and it’s your channel so do what you like. But I’m sure you’ll see the difference in views between this and the podcast/talk show type episodes.
I watch a lot of your videos for preventing behaviors, socializing, place work, E collar for recall, literally everything for my GSD FROM YOU so I can give her a better life.
I'm new to dog behavioral psychology, but at 5:35, when the male owner kneels and allows his GSD to rest its head above his, that suggests a dominant posture. This could explain the dog's territorial or dominant behavior. While there's more to consider, this seems like an obvious first clue.
It amazes me all of the different places you tKe the dogs you are training. I would love to socialize my shepherd like this but its crazy how dogs are not allowed many places out here. Local Tractor Supply, outside of Starbucks, hardware store, a restaurant that is about 45min away. Its crazy. People compliment how obedient my dog is but she is around 1yr old, in her second heat cycle. Shes a hormonal mess and is not liking to socialize well. She is whining and pulling but I keep pushing her because she is not the boss. I am! 😊
Well when you put it that way I am sure other customers would LOVE to use their dogs as guinea pigs to socialize yours. Seriously? Find friends with dogs and do controlled socializing in a controlled environment. Going to a pet friendly store not knowing what you will encounter with a young hormonal dog is a terrible idea. You make it sound like you want to do this but none of the stores you frequent are pet friendly. I really hope I just misinterpreted your comment.
I didn’t know sometimes dogs understand commands and are just being stubborn. All the more someone else’s negative influence on and inside your dog on any other animal. Biting on purpose, time to get rid of unless the person did something wrong and the dog just being self defensive.
I had an Australian Shephard that attacked me twice, but for full transparency...I failed him from the start. I had just lost my job and I got him as a fresh puppy but mentally... I wasn't where I needed to be in life to have him. We ended up giving him to my father in law since he couldn't be trusted around kids or strangers. R.I.P Onyx... he ended up getting thyroid cancer and passed away.
German Shepherds are extremely loyal towards their owners. That dog biting the lady tells me he either doesn't trust or like that lady. She's probably the one who "accidentally" shocked him at 100, and is now nervous around him, and the dog senses this.
It’s crazy how people dogs end up like this I got a pitbull and she’s the best dog I’ve ever owned so I don’t understand how people dogs be getting aggressive like this but shouts out to you for fixing this problem 👍🏽
I felt that was a weird dynamic between the couple and the dog. Like the dog seems umconfortable being pet by her, you can even see him yawn at the beginning when she pets him and go on the other side at 11:00. The dude I feel like it's his baby and pretty sure and doesnt read his dog well. When you are a couple and own a dog, both should have lead over the dog and not only one person. When he bit her I thought it could be a redirection bite, like he was stressed, not sure he wanted to be pet and he went off on her hand because it was too much. Idk, the dynamic was weird and the dog seemed confused by them.
He's such a beautiful dog too, I'm glad you were able to help him. Also how are you able to take him into a restaurant? I know places with food don't allow pets, and places without food it's up to the owner of the establishment.
I never trust the owners in these videos…. It just seems to me that if they’ve got to this point, then they’ll inevitably slip back to it over the next few weeks/months….
I hate it when dogs just shut down over nothing. I recently got another lab puppy who has just turned 16 weeks old and has taken almost the entirety of the 2 weeks I've had her to open up. Her first vet visit for a vaccination last week cost me almost £200 since she got ear mites from being left outdoors the majority of the time at the breeders. These last couple of mornings she's been happy and jumping around, but as soon as I have to clean and give her her ear drops, she just shuts down and lays on the floor. To get her moving again, I'll either force her to stand and use my voice to get her moving OR a slice of ham brings her right back around. She's shown no signs of aggression, but was very timid/submissive when I got her at 14 weeks. She should improve further once I start walking her.
We never recommend ecollar use without professional guidance, and only after your dog is proficient in basic obedience first. We also never use the "beeper". We cover proper use of conditioning and using the ecollar in our Unleashed course on DIYK9.com
I have a saying “It takes a big dawg to raise a big dog” Looking at both of his owners I can tell that they are in fact not big dawgs at all. They should’ve gotten a Pomeranian. Great training vid but keep it real with people about these dogs and why they should or shouldn’t get them.
Personally with the correct training I'd trust this dog with my life. But then again my Shepards have all been properly trained and well behaved from puppies. I've been asked to donate my dogs to the police department so often I've switched breeds so they don't ask anymore
@@juliehackett1025 nah bro, you can't trust this dog. This is a dog that has the impulse/urge to bite its owner and that can only be pacified, not removed. You can only hope to manage this behaviour and not remove it. Moreover if youre gonna PROPERLY MANAGE the dogs behaviour... you should absolutely NOT trust the dog. You need to stay alert at all times with this one.
German shepherds are not for certain owners. Someone told me my German shepherd might “turn” on me one day. I said German shepherds don’t “turn” on their owners, they react to bs.
I LOVE how you have the owners walk YOU on leash! Such a fantastic way or coaching. Mistakes can be made on you versus the dog ❤
Thank you and the owners for not giving up on this beautiful dog !!

He would lunge and attack them when they told him "no".He ran the house and the neighborhood. He unfortunately severely bit the mom so badly shes undergone 4 surgeries on her hand. The dog was euthanized. He was just over a year old.
My adopted uncle doesn't want his beligium m mix not trained at all my two dogs are fully trained well one is almost fully service dog trained and one already has biteworl 102 training the Second dog will begin soon . His doesn't even listen to recall runs loose I streets but shes no harm
I hate it when people don't correct and train their dogs. It can do so much damage if you don't correct consistently
I am so enjoying your training of Zeke. Especially when you tell us what he's thinking ( escalator is an alien). Thank you for being so thorough 😅❤
This was a great put together video
So he doesn't like being touched around the neck but she is touching him absentmindedly on his head. Not even watching the dog. This is why dogs bite owners. I use the same e collar as you and I have been a trainer for 20 years. I have only used the e collar for the past year. You don't accidently get to 100. These owners are negligent all the way around. This is what trainers deal with all the time. This is exactly why I don't train for anyone unless it's a special circumstance anymore.
I had made the same comments early today about the fact that she would not stop touching the dog on the head and the neck. I think she even did it on their first visit after the three week training. She obviously tried to 'connect' with the dog, and to me, just to please the husband. I presume that she went along with getting the dog but... ~~~~ As to e-collar, I too have wondered how it would be set to 100 accidentally. Perhaps, but that is pure negligence. At least, I am glad the owner mentioned it ! What those people thought getting this breed ?! And what about the two other trainers (???) ? Incompetent or irresponsible, or both.
@@fredericlinden This is not an easy breed for sure. I can tell you from experience that there are a lot of trainers who lack experience or are so full of themselves that they can't train a dog. Then you get those that are just positive only training. They will recommend putting a dog down before admitting failure. ASDT does a great job at balanced training and explaining the steps and why and when you need to use e collar or collar corrections. He doesn't do it for fun and he doesn't do it to hurt the dog. There are other balanced trainers out there, but not many I appreciate.
I stumbled across your channel by accident. Normally I wouldn't be interested since I have a pathological fear of dogs since I've been bitten by one many years ago and since then, it changed my perspective on dogs. I'm more of a cat person. But your videos are helping me by making me rethink my view on dogs and that not all dogs are evil like I had been thinking. Normally, when I see any dog, I cross on the other side due to my extreme fear. This videos can help others like me with fear of dogs!
Thank you!
So happy to hear that, glad you found our page!
Im glad i found your channel. I have a service dog & she's a cattle dog. She was always nipping at my feet. It took me over a year to break her of that habit. Even though she's over 10 years old. She still herds my husbands cats into the corner & will pen them there. Im still not giving up on breaking her of that habit. Each & everyday i brush up & fine tune her training. Doesn't matter how young or old you're dog is. They must have constant training.
Thank you for sharing the essentials steps of the process. Fantastic work !
Glad it was helpful!
You seriously saved that dog ❤
This is what happens when people try “all positive, I hope my asshole puppy feels good” type of dog ownership. And there are a lot of trainers being forced to forgo pinch collars because of an outspoken bunch of amateurs who would never deal with a dog like this.
Good work. Dogs that live with handlers are happier than dogs that live with owners. And when the general public stops being owners and starts being handlers, dogs with thrive.
I always say the greatest gift we can give dogs isn't love, it's self control. Seeing how much of a difference that 1 quality brings is astounding.
@ agreed. And that can be taught when they’re puppies by reinforcing a calm mental state. I’m working with a 1 yr old Boerboel that’s had none of this done with him. Now I have a full powered adult who has the physical capability to make his own will happen. The saving grace is that he’s highly intelligent, willing to work, and takes verbal corrections well. So he’s coming around quickly. But for a normal owner, he’d be too much. He’s a humane case and the old shitbag owner created the problem by just tying him up. Almost fixed now.
Has he ever bitten the male owner? Seems he’s dominant and ‘owns’ the guy and doesn’t want anyone to challenge that authority.
He was definitely being possessive over the man. That’s out of control
Excellent work! It’s so great to see him doing so well!
What an amazing transformation of a dog!
Did it keep??,
My dog was a problem for awhile and we found a great trainer and it totally transformed her. So please don’t give up on your dogs before you get everything
These are the videos that made your channel so popular. I get wanting to do different things and it’s your channel so do what you like. But I’m sure you’ll see the difference in views between this and the podcast/talk show type episodes.
Great training info as always!
I watch a lot of your videos for preventing behaviors, socializing, place work, E collar for recall, literally everything for my GSD FROM YOU so I can give her a better life.
Happy we can help! If you ever want to dive deeper into the training, check out DIYK9.com for our memberships and courses. Keep up the great work!
He looks like a happy dog know. Great work with him.
What an amazing video! I love Zeke’s transformation, sophisticated cutie 🥹💝
Glad you liked it!!
I'm new to dog behavioral psychology, but at 5:35, when the male owner kneels and allows his GSD to rest its head above his, that suggests a dominant posture. This could explain the dog's territorial or dominant behavior. While there's more to consider, this seems like an obvious first clue.
Very subtle but yes that is a dominance move and should not be tolerated
It amazes me all of the different places you tKe the dogs you are training. I would love to socialize my shepherd like this but its crazy how dogs are not allowed many places out here. Local Tractor Supply, outside of Starbucks, hardware store, a restaurant that is about 45min away. Its crazy. People compliment how obedient my dog is but she is around 1yr old, in her second heat cycle. Shes a hormonal mess and is not liking to socialize well. She is whining and pulling but I keep pushing her because she is not the boss. I am! 😊
Well when you put it that way I am sure other customers would LOVE to use their dogs as guinea pigs to socialize yours. Seriously? Find friends with dogs and do controlled socializing in a controlled environment. Going to a pet friendly store not knowing what you will encounter with a young hormonal dog is a terrible idea. You make it sound like you want to do this but none of the stores you frequent are pet friendly. I really hope I just misinterpreted your comment.
Garret ,Make a shorts video about the most dominant dog that you've seen in your life !
Fantastic video - content was excellent and presentation was even better. Well done! Glad to see Zeke transformed into a model citizen.
You guys are doing good job sir 👏 Cesar and you 👏 big fan of your 😊
I didn’t know sometimes dogs understand commands and are just being stubborn. All the more someone else’s negative influence on and inside your dog on any other animal.
Biting on purpose, time to get rid of unless the person did something wrong and the dog just being self defensive.
Hope they can keep it up! Great improvement.
The owner should never have allowed him to get up on him. Very inexperienced owners.
Amazing improvement 😍 a different dog and one that will be much happier. Great job 👏
I would've liked to see his socialization with other dogs, but great job overall
I had an Australian Shephard that attacked me twice, but for full transparency...I failed him from the start. I had just lost my job and I got him as a fresh puppy but mentally... I wasn't where I needed to be in life to have him. We ended up giving him to my father in law since he couldn't be trusted around kids or strangers. R.I.P Onyx... he ended up getting thyroid cancer and passed away.
Geez, Garrett, where do you live? Heaven? What a beautiful homestead!
This is a great video!! Thanks for the update on zues
Just great work Mr. Wing!
Bro i love this type of content i can literally see this on tv bro keep going !
I've never been so grateful to have raised my own Great Dane puppy, a bite like that from her would be devastating
100? An accident? How cruel!
German shepherds are the best! I've had a German shepherd all my life, and I never had a dog this aggressive. What did they do to this poor boy😢
Phenomenal work!!
Wow , amazing job!!
Thank you!
Unbelievably Beautiful 🙏🏼🐕💙🐕🙏🏼
Great video and editing was great too
Appreciate it!
Very impressive! Great Job
German Shepherds are extremely loyal towards their owners. That dog biting the lady tells me he either doesn't trust or like that lady. She's probably the one who "accidentally" shocked him at 100, and is now nervous around him, and the dog senses this.
It’s crazy how people dogs end up like this I got a pitbull and she’s the best dog I’ve ever owned so I don’t understand how people dogs be getting aggressive like this but shouts out to you for fixing this problem 👍🏽
It’s a balance of the temperament and the training of the dog.
Are getting not be getting
You should start a TV show call it Fix that dog
Hi just wanted to say I'm a big fan of yours you are the best
Thank you, we appreciate it!
He just a fragile little flower....... fragile like a bomb.
Amazing work...
Keep on keeping on my friend 💯
Thank you!
I felt that was a weird dynamic between the couple and the dog. Like the dog seems umconfortable being pet by her, you can even see him yawn at the beginning when she pets him and go on the other side at 11:00. The dude I feel like it's his baby and pretty sure and doesnt read his dog well. When you are a couple and own a dog, both should have lead over the dog and not only one person. When he bit her I thought it could be a redirection bite, like he was stressed, not sure he wanted to be pet and he went off on her hand because it was too much. Idk, the dynamic was weird and the dog seemed confused by them.
Amazing work 🎉❤
He's such a beautiful dog too, I'm glad you were able to help him. Also how are you able to take him into a restaurant? I know places with food don't allow pets, and places without food it's up to the owner of the establishment.
Restaurants near us allow dogs on patios.
@@tracyaf6084 ah. Yeah where I'm at they still consider it a health issue so no doggies on patios or any grocery stores either
@@idonteven18 we don’t have them at grocery stores though people bring them and just lie about them being service dogs…
Update?
3 months update
Great video ❤
Thanks!
The short got me
I never trust the owners in these videos…. It just seems to me that if they’ve got to this point, then they’ll inevitably slip back to it over the next few weeks/months….
I hate it when dogs just shut down over nothing. I recently got another lab puppy who has just turned 16 weeks old and has taken almost the entirety of the 2 weeks I've had her to open up. Her first vet visit for a vaccination last week cost me almost £200 since she got ear mites from being left outdoors the majority of the time at the breeders.
These last couple of mornings she's been happy and jumping around, but as soon as I have to clean and give her her ear drops, she just shuts down and lays on the floor. To get her moving again, I'll either force her to stand and use my voice to get her moving OR a slice of ham brings her right back around.
She's shown no signs of aggression, but was very timid/submissive when I got her at 14 weeks. She should improve further once I start walking her.
When you put an e caller on, should you just use the beeper first and then use the shock?
We never recommend ecollar use without professional guidance, and only after your dog is proficient in basic obedience first. We also never use the "beeper". We cover proper use of conditioning and using the ecollar in our Unleashed course on DIYK9.com
Can these methods be used on a yorkie?? We have a small reactive and aggressive yorkie
Any breed :)
Great episode
I have a saying “It takes a big dawg to raise a big dog”
Looking at both of his owners I can tell that they are in fact not big dawgs at all. They should’ve gotten a Pomeranian.
Great training vid but keep it real with people about these dogs and why they should or shouldn’t get them.
Personally, I'd never trust this dog. Ever.
Personally with the correct training I'd trust this dog with my life. But then again my Shepards have all been properly trained and well behaved from puppies. I've been asked to donate my dogs to the police department so often I've switched breeds so they don't ask anymore
@@juliehackett1025 nah bro, you can't trust this dog.
This is a dog that has the impulse/urge to bite its owner and that can only be pacified, not removed. You can only hope to manage this behaviour and not remove it.
Moreover if youre gonna PROPERLY MANAGE the dogs behaviour... you should absolutely NOT trust the dog. You need to stay alert at all times with this one.
How did you correct after the bite?
German shepherds are not for certain owners. Someone told me my German shepherd might “turn” on me one day. I said German shepherds don’t “turn” on their owners, they react to bs.
