    So upset

    They definitely have an instinct and it sucks. My first German Shepherd was the sweetest thing.. was good with horses. I used to take him trail riding with me.

    Thank you. Yes they had a horrible start in life. I am an alpha because I HAVE to be. They will pack against me and everyone. I’ve seen them do many things I don’t trust anymore. No I don’t beat them into submission and shock collars are NOT used the way you are insinuating. So we will agree...

    So upset

    I’m upset with myself and with my dogs... I adopted them in July of last year... they are now 3 (feb 28) litterMate German shepherds. The first year of their lives they were left alone in crates and not socialized. The couple that adopted them had a tragedy (the woman died giving birth and the...
