How do you do that? My German Shepherd is the same, she is forever walking into things, yesterday she ended up with her head in a bin (one with the opening on the side) because she wasn't paying attention to where she was going. she has also walked into fence posts and lamp posts quite often, I'm wo...

I dont know that much so I'm sure someone else will give you a more indepth answer, but give him time. He's is having to learn to trust you and ajust to his new surroundings. Try not giving him attention, but maybe dropping a treat on the floor as you pass him by. Let him come to you when he wants a...

Oh my god he is gorgeous! Can't add much more than Mattie has said, but bear in mind that GSD's play rough anyway, they love to nip at each others hind legs and our's loves nothing more than knawing on your hand. When I first got her she would bit to hard, when she did this a used to yelp (like a pu...

Just last week when I was in the park, a little chinease crested started barking at Bella, she got a bit excited, nothing to much, no leaping around just taking a bit of an interest, she was on short lead and was about 20m away for this bloke and his little dog. He screamed at me for having an agres...

I have found with my GSD that the Gental leader and Halti harness work well. I use both of these at the same time if I need a lot of control. Used with a double ended training lead, one end on the head collar the other on the chest ring of the harness. When walking I keep the end attached to the hea...

I would agree with checking out our dog walker. I interviewed loads of dog walkers when i was trying to find mine. several of they sounded great on paper but when they turned up it was obvious that they had very little experience. My dog walker now was proffesional from the start and just the other ...

Is he totally over the top on the food he is on now? I'd be reluctant to change if his stomach is happy with it. When we first got Bella she was on Arden Grange and was hyper, we found out that it is actually quite high in protein. We tried Burns- which made her worse, and finally got her on James w...

I would take her into fields, behind hedges, up people's drives and if I couldn't get her far enough away, I would turn back until I could. Been there so many times. Once I had to walk 2 miles in the wrong direction because we were on a narrow path with 2 huge aggressive GSD's infront. Their owner ...
