A. I'm not sure exactly how long it takes. I know every dog is different but it will happen. I use to wonder the same thing. Its like a proud papa waiting for there son to show his man hood. Dont worry it happen. Then you have to deal with him tagging everything in the house.

What can I do for my german shepherd?
Q. I adopted Kalo, (my german shepherd) a month ago. Sence then I took him to the vet. He had worms. He got treated. The problem is he is still skinny. The vet said he could not find a medical reason. He eats like a horse, but not gaining wight. I feed him dog food with no fillers, just like my vet told me. I've seen onter german shepherds, they are heavier then him. Hes not extremely skinny, just thin. What can I do to make him heavier? He is very active. I feed him Nutro Max.

A. The name of the food would be very helpful. Definately change his food. This is not a high quality food. I know dogs who can eat a low quality non stop and look like they're starving to death. Try Innova, Canidae, or Solid Gold to name a couple high quality foods.

A. It's obvious - YOU aren't the alpha, and that dog is an uppity beta who wants to be the alpha. He is "labelling" aka marking everything that is his. I doubt he'd accept training to use one of those label-makers used in supermarkets, so you have these choices: (1) Regain the status of alpha. (2) Never bring HIM inside. (3) Have only one male on the property. He probably started doing it either almost-to-the-day when he turned 10 months old, or (if he is the senior dog) the day you brought the second dog home. Some people simply CANNOT share. Some dogs are the same way. The less owner-training a dog gets the more likely that his ancestral canine-instincts will emerge. How do you regain alpha status? By earning it - lots of training, total… [cont.]
