We've had a bit of a return to the biting behaviour this week. At least we can go out for a walk now.

Wow. So much advice. Thanks people. It's pretty much sorted now. She stays away from the kids and doesn't try to "play" with Laura. She enjoys play fighting with me but when I stop and tell her to Sit so that she will calm down she does. Laura watched me playing rough and tumble with...

I remember a program of a Vet on the TV from years ago. He said never to give your dog a bone. He said it was the worst thing that you could give a dog. They swallow the sharp pieces they manage to break off, but then they cannot digest them. They end up caught in their intestines...

I feel awful now because I've been giving her the no biting jaw grab. It's actually made her not go for the kids which is the all important thing. Laura was so scared of her and is now getting her head around being around the dog. She's no longer staying in her room all the time and she...

You and me both Dizzy. Carol my wife is looking forward to it too... Having a dog means you have to get off the sofa yourself and take it for a walk. Not a bad thing and at 42 I could do with the bit of excersise. Great excuse to get the kids out too. Bodhi looks great, know what you...

Brilliant thanks for that Chithedobe. The dog hasn't had that much excersise yet because she was not fully innoculated. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. She's had her boosters today and we've got the certificate. We can take her for walks as from next week. Next Sunday is...

Just thought I'd add.... it's still not right. Mabye it just needs time but my daughter is making such a play of it that I really don't know where to turn next. She tried to bite her clothes again tonight and of course my daughter flung her arms up in the air shouting "she's biting me she's...

Will do. BTW sasha is a She. Laura even got to have a big influence on the name. She wanted to call the dog Gnasher (after the comic character "dennis the menace's" dog) but we thought that Gnasher was not appropriate for a female dog so we went for Sasha instead. I hope you are right...

The funny thing is... it was Laura (my daughter) who chose her :confused: :rolleyes: :confused:

Will do debi thanks. here's another photie...

Absolutely. Re-housing the dog is not an option in my opinion. I grew up with a GSD and wouldn't have changed anything. I've just tried the no biting that Manchesters has recommended and it worked for me. I just hope that I can get some confidence into my daughter to get down to the dogs...

Thanks guys. I'm really in a quandry now because my biggest problem is my daughter. It's getting worse. Just last night the dog was in her vicinity and was in a playful mood. Laura (daughter) shot upstairs crying her eyes out. They were real tears and she really is terrified. The...

The dog asks god... Dear God, Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another? Where are their priorities? Dear God, When we get to heaven can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story? Dear God, Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar...

Brilliant. thanks people. I've also started training her and have been teaching her "off" and to let go of something she gets a reward. I think the isolation thing will work well too. Here's a picture I took of her on the driveway yesterday.:)

Hi People. We've got a GSD and she's now exactly 10 weeks old. When we got her we were told to feed her 1/2 a sachet of pedigree puppy food and 1 cup full of dried kibble 4 times a day. She's now on 1 full sachet of pedigree puppy food and a handfull of kibble 4 times a day. She's...

Somehow I can't get my avatar to show up. It's of the correct size but its not showing up? Ideas anyone? I've uploaded it OK and it says that it is my current avatar but can't see it.

Hi People. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Vince. I live in Leeds UK. I've just joined this forum and have a GSD puppy. God she is growing so fast. We can't take her out for walks yet because of her injections but am looking forward to taking her next week after she's seen the...

No you want a German Shepard Dog. I grew up with one and she was brilliant. Very energetic. We've just got another as a pup. I've been training her for 3 days and she will already sit and give us her paw. Very intelegent and a great family dog. Don't go for a long haired variety if you...

Thanks for the replies people that's very encouraging. Can't wait to go to puppy class with her. It's going to be a family outing. Don't you just love that floppy ear ;)

Hi People. Thanks admins for the forum. I've just got a GSD puppy. She's now 10 weeks old. She is biting like most puppys do. However because her innoculations are not until next week we cannot take her to puppy classes yet. My daughter who is 10 years old is absloutely scared...
