    German Shepherds and Their Sounds

    Our huskies talk to me quite a bit especially when they come in the house in the morning or when I come home from work. They both usually make woo-woo sounds like they are chewing me out for not seeing them in so long. They also talk to each other when they are playing.

    Rescued Sibe

    Hello, I currently have 2 rescued shelter dogs. One male Shepherd/Husky mix, Caesar, and a female purebred Siberian Husky, Lizzy. We just got Lizzy a week ago and I was curious about Sibe mannerisms. Our current husky mix, Caesar, we adopted when he was 4 months old and he was and is a...

    Exuberant pup - Am I doing the right thing?

    I do have a soccer ball with "handles" on it. He plays with anything and will throw the toy up in the air with his mouth and then run after it. We already went through several other squeaky throw toys. We also try to keep an unlimited supply of rawhide bones on hand as he usually goes through at...

    Exuberant pup - Am I doing the right thing?

    I have started him on a beginner's obstacle course to give him something else to do. He absolutely loves it! He is one of the most fearless dogs. I thought it would take at least a week to teach him to jump over a small jump and walk on a plank about three feet above the ground. He caught on in...

    Exuberant pup - Am I doing the right thing?

    Hello! I have posted here for a while! It's been a few months! Caesar (my half German shepherd / half Husky) is a wonderful dog and loves to be around me at ALL times! :D The issues I am having with him are barking issues. He loves to play by getting down on his forelegs with his rump...

    GSD biting

    I have to clarify that we do not spank but use the discipline techniques provided by the Monks in their book. These techniques are supposed to be similar to what the Alpha dog uses. Also, we absolutely do not discipline unless our dog is hurting us with his biting, or being severely growly and...

    GSD biting

    One more thing... I think it is very important that you do NOT give up on your dog until you have shown him who is boss. I just read your last thread where everyone is scared of him and no one will touch him except two people. If you try to put his leash on him and he bites you hard, I think...

    GSD biting

    I have this same problem (overwhelming puppy problem) but my dog and I are working through it. My 1/2 GSD/1/2 husky will grab my hand when I am trying to put on his leash for a walk. What I do is tell him a stern, overwhelming NO! and then try it again. If he does it again, I do the same thing...

    overwhelming puppy problem

    We just went out to see Caesar and we wouldn't pet him until he sat and stopped biting at us. I then made him go down and roll over. The first time I did it he was way to squirmy and still kind of biting. I then told him sit again and took him "down" onto his belly. This time he let me scratch...

    overwhelming puppy problem

    I need to say that after he shows this biting problem we put him in his kennel away from us for at least 20 - 30 minutes and then we try again.

    overwhelming puppy problem

    :eek: I know that I am going to get a lot of responses to this thread that tell me that I need to assert dominance over my dog. I would like you guys to really help me out and tell me exactly how, what games I can play, and whether or not to spank? My dog named Caesar is a German...
