If you have money (??) contact "The Dog Whisperer".......he says there's no dog that he can't handle.Barbara J.

I forgot to mention that she got that ...thank you. I forgot to mention that she got that high pitched bark,that sounds like a screem when she tries to get after another dog.she does not listen when i want her to come in. When 2 days ago a friend came in to the house and she tried to attack him even though she knew him. And the same with the mailman. She always was friendly with him and let him pet her. But now she turns on him as soon as he walks away. I am afraid now to walk her since she tries to attack cars also We had a german shepherd before he was a couch potato. we got him from a local breeder. But Izzy my crazy dog she is hard to handle now .Is there any hope for her to get better? I got her over the Internet and i will never do that againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955077234995938266.post-80880212702185980822011-12-26T17:46:43.893-05:002011-12-26T17:46:43.893-05:00It's probably in her genetics.

Some kids and adults as well have this so I guess some of our dogs can have it as well. You've just constantly have to be on top of her with training, training and more training. Good luck!Barbara J.

Now she is dog and people agressive . I am at my wits end. she tears the bed right from under our newfie who is so calm and sweet.

They don't listen at all and act like the world revolves around them. My girl tells me off by barking at me. It's like she's saying I have some nerve yelling at her when she's bad.......which is everyday~! I don't know of anything to calm them down. You could talk to your vet about it or do some research on your own on the internet.....but never give her anything without your vets OK! Good luck and let me know if you find a miracle for her!!!Barbara J.

But when she acts badly she borderlines hysteria. I would LOVE to know if there is a mild sedative available for her to take daily so as to prevent these wild episodes of bad behavior. We live on a horse farm and she is disrespectful to the horses, invading their space, nipping their heels to make them run so she can give chase, even getting kicked. She has no fear and insists on being the closest one to me of the three German Shepherds I own. Whew! I can't imagine giving her up because no one could ever survive her lack of respect. Her devotion is strong. Her minding is atrocious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955077234995938266.post-33508217974323452252010-06-01T11:35:03.650-04:002010-06-01T11:35:03.650-04:00Hi

I was wondering if she was ADHD or hyperactive until I read this. Now I think she falls mainly into the hyper reactive category. She she was 4 months old she reacts aggressively to certain situations. She is not a dominant dog and is probably showing a fear thing. But she is constantly on the move, sleeps very little and breathes really fast all the time<br />she is really loving and gentle around the family but we can never predict what she will do in others circumstances as she does not always react the same way twice. She is the third GSD we have owned and to be honest I would say it is a brain issue not a training issue. We really don't knowwhat to do. We can't take her anywhere there are dogs and we are practically housebound with her because we can't leave her alone to fester.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698594195741693358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955077234995938266.post-35332315510945621132010-03-17T13:35:17.598-04:002010-03-17T13:35:17.598-04:00Very interesting article.
