German Shepherd Bark
german shepherd bark
Any other dog that can get along with a German shepherd dog?
We have a German Shepherd, he barks alot and now he is nearly one year old! We’ve been keeping him inside lately, and trying to seek for a dog to be his companion, becoz people say another dog will reduce the barking.
1.Is that true?
2. What dog will get along well with a GSD
3. The dog doesn’t need lots of exercise, doesn’t need lots of grooming, can get along with children over 12.
4. Doesn’t bark much.
And if you have any other suggestions please tell me!
The only thing that will control your GSD’s barking is you. I recommend put him through some obedience classes. I have two German Shepherds, and when one starts barking, the other joins in right away. My dogs know the commands ’settle’ and ‘go to bed’ the one thing you never want to do when your GSD starts barking is yell at him. Dogs don’t understand that yelling means your mad. The dog is going to think you are barking right along with him and get even more excited.
Try filling a pop can with pennies and shaking it to get his attention when he is barking. Once he stops barking, put him in a sit and give him a treat or throw him a favorite toy. Another thing you need to start doing is exercising him and giving him something to do. GSD’s are an extremely intelligent breed that need a purpose or they get bored and develop unwanted behaviors, such as excessive barking.
Getting a 2nd dog will not be a quick fix, and chances are that you will just wind up with two out of control barking dogs. Dogs don’t train each other, they look to their pack leader (you) for guidance.

German Shepherd Aggression
Aggression in German Shepherds can be linked to multiple issues. The hostility could stem from an incident that occurred when the dog was a puppy and never quite recovered, like being attacked by another dog. It could possibly also be the result of a obstinate dog experiencing challenges learning who is in control.
Whatever the cause for the aggressive tendencies in your German Shepherd, it cannot be ignored. Acceptance of harmful actions is akin to reinforcing it, which can contribute to terrifying, if not dangerous, results.
The Importance of Initial Socialization and Dog Training
Aggressive behavior in Shepherds can start as early as six weeks of age, a critical period when most puppies first exposed to people and other dogs. This stage of puppyhood is when the majority of owners begin training their puppies proper behavior, such as not nipping, gnawing at, or barking at other pets or other people.
This preliminary training stage of a dog’s growth continues up to 12 weeks and beyond. Consequently, there are some rules a dog owner should comply with when socializing with a puppy.
* Under no circumstances remove a puppy from its litter before it has reached 8 weeks of age
* Stay away from using tough discipline with a young dog, specifically between 8 and 10 weeks of age
* Treat the pup gently; shouting, smacking, spanking, or any other type of abusive or unpleasant punishment can be the precise driver that triggers aggressive behavior in a dog
* Displaying the pup attention and love will create a attachment that will endear it to its owner, not alienate it into aggression and self-defense
The Triggers of German Shepherd Aggression
There are numerous components known to bring about aggressive German Shepherd patterns. Some breeds have a higher tendency toward aggression than others do. Often times, genetics and hereditary are contributing factors, but by no means is that always the case. German Shepherds are usually often considered a breed with heredity and genetics toward intense behavior.
With that knowledge, the prime variables that can intensify aggression in a puppy is undesirable treatment and a damaging environment, including the following:
* bad and unhealthy living conditions
* shortage of socialization, with other dogs and people
* fear of other animals, other dogs, and/or people
* a severe and abusive owner
A German Shepherd afflicted by any or all of these disorders is often more likely to be hostile and intense as it matures.
German Shepherd Aggressive Behavior – Act Quickly before it becomes a problem
Start off teaching your German Shepherd puppy at a young age to react to your directions, whether spoken, hand signals, etc. An periodic treat is completely acceptable, but the puppy needs to learn to respond to your requests with or without a treat.
Stroll with and train your dog often, keep a regular feeding routine, and confirm who the alpha of the home is. By allowing the dog to set its own rules and freedoms, the aggression will only elevate toward others because the dog views them as obstacles to its desired behavior.
A dog with aggression problems could strike out in its own defense at a person. However, it is important to know it may be the dog’s fault. Your dog may not have been socialized correctly and is not used to human interaction.
