Thanks for the suggestions....we can't really afford classes right now but teaching him to sit-stay should be fairly easy....he's a smart dog. I understand positive training and timing...I train horses. I have been working on this with him in the last few days and I think I see improvment.

It isn't just when I put shoes on....it's ANYTIME I sit low enough for him to reach my face. He does it to my husband too. If we sit on the bed, the couch or anything for any reason he will want to shove his nose in our faces. He'll seem like he's getting better about it and then regress. I...

I heard that Aussies were a longer lived breed...it certainly was true with Harley. I'm glad you have a good one too. If I ever get another dog I'm gonna go to the pound and find another Aussie.

Harley was my Australian Shephard who lived to the age of 22! I found him as a young dog...the vet said about 3...wondering the streets of San Diego. It was an instant bond. From the day I took him home he assigned himself to be my protector and my best friend. On several occasions he saved...

Is it just a german shephard thing that makes them want to be that close to you? or a dog thing. I've had puppies before, although not in a very long time. Quinn is the first young dog I've had in about 15 years (I usually get older dogs...my last one was an australian shephard who just passed...

Well......Actually I've just always heard that you were supposed to neuter a dog ASAP. If that isn't the case I don't feel as guilty! I kinda felt like a bad dog mom.

I'm not sure this is the problem....he does it to both myself and my husband. He is submissive, respectful and obedient (most of the time......he still has a lot of puppy energy in him) otherwise. He is NEVER aggressive towards us although we have to watch him around other animals. I do make...

It is your decision and it's a tough one. Me personally....I would not put him to sleep if that is the ONLY problem. I'd exhaust every other option first. If he still has a quality of life I wouldn't do it but if there are other problems and he's suffering..... I'm so sorry you have to go...

My husband and I have a German Shephard named Quinn. He is actually 95% German and about 5% Australian but he looks ALL German Shephard. He is just a year old and we have had him since he was weaned. The problem we have is he wants to be in our faces constantly. If I sit down to tie my shoes he...
