What are the affects, benefits, and costs of neutering a 3 year old German Shepherd dog?
Q. What are the differences in neutering a dog at an early (puppy) age as opposed to an adult dog? Will a dog that is neutered as an adult still be agressive towards other male dogs?
Asked by dukey1 - Mon Jul 30 20:39:57 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You do not have to go through the whole hormone issue. When adult males are nutured it takes about a month for all of the testorone to go out out of them. Also puppies tend to recover quickly. Nutering will not help with all of the agression issues.

my 8 month old german shepherd dog is coward what shud i do to make him a sharp and dangerous dog?
Q. when my dog see any dog(big or small) he press his tail in between his legs and does not bark at all but want to run frm there, even his brother dogs is very sharp and does not feel fear. can i do something? i used "dangerous" for fearless and "sharp" for obedient
Asked by pranav - Wed Jul 22 13:36:00 2009 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You should not want your dog to be dangerous. You should want him to be confident and not fearful. If he is dangerous and out to attack, he may one day attack you, other people, or other dogs unprovoked and you will have to put him to sleep and/or have to deal with expensive law suits, vet bills, etc. If you want your dog to be confident, you need to handle him with confidence.Fearful dogs especially need a confident owner. When he is being fearful, DO NOT coddle or pet him because he will take that as encouragement for his behavior. When you see other dogs while you're walking him, don't pay attention to the other dog at all. Just walk on straight ahead with your back straight. He may still whimper or freak out a bit but this will help… [cont.]

If you wanted to introduce something like that, I would do it in a really small amount and at a time when you can monitor your dog for most of the day.

A. he's still a puppy, so a puppy kibble is still needed. Look for an all natural dog food at your local pet supply shop. You won't find anything worth feeding at your grocer's. I like Canidae. It is made from all HUMAN grade ingredients. Don't feed corn, soy, ar beet pulp. Ya gotta read the lables. Inova is good. Nutromax is good, but has food coloring so stains teeth. After 38 years of breeding dogs for show/pet, I have settled on Canidae, and wouldn't switch. You can look up home websites for any of the above to find your nearest dealer. (at his age, Canidae PAWS would be the best)

German Shepherds are prone to hip dyspepsia but you will see sign...trouble walking, dog not wanting to walk...have trouble getting up, limping etc. And he should also either prescribe a pain medication or tell you what other options you have.

A. Now that your wife is out of town the dog thinks you're out of your mind too if you think he wants to eat from your hand too! You people are nuts and you are making the dog nuts! Give the dog a break! Feed him out of a dog dish on the floor and stop the non sense.

I have a 6 years old German Shepherd dog who will not and has never eaten his food unless we are sat with him.?
Q. When we go on holiday we can only go for 7 days as he will not eat. The .kennels have tried everything to encourage him but he still won't eat anything. We love him to bits and it's no use saying a dog will eat when he is hungry, he won't. As soon as we sit down with him he starts to eat and it's as though he has trained himself to do this. We have had six years of this and no-one can come up with an answer, and as I am new to yahoo I thought someone out there may be able to help.

A. you're going to need to employ a dog behaviouralist to train YOU to train the dog to untrain this habit, because thats all it is, a habit, but you need to be proactive and get the help if you ever want to go on holiday properly

A. You should read some great books on training. (Try not to pick books randomly - there are a lot of bad books out there also!) These are some of my favorites and you can get them on Amazon.com Training Your Dog: The Step by Step Method - Volhard The Koehler Method of Dog Training - William Koehler What All Good Dogs Should Know - Volhard Good Owners, Great Dogs - Brian Kilcommins Dog Tricks : Eighty-Eight Challenging Activities for Your Dog from World-Class Trainers by Haggerty and Benjamin Don't Shoot the Dog - Pryor Dog Problems - Benjamin Cesar's Way - Cesar Millan Also, watch the Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel.

A. Poorly bred GSDs are a dime a dozen. The breed is known for genetic hip problems, temperament problems, and eye problems. If you're going to do this, the LEAST you can do is plan to temperament-test your male, and get complete genetic testing done on his hips, elbows, and eyes. I'm not talking about taking him to the vet and having them give you a thumbs-up; I'm talking about spending the time and money to submit xrays to OFA/Pennhip, and have him cleared by a certified veterinary opthalmologist. The xrays can't be done prior to 2 years old, when he's considered physically mature. The same would be true, of course, of the b*tch you buy. In the meantime, you should seriously consider whether or not you even need to be making more GSDs,… [cont.]

How to stop a German Shepherd dog from acting like a pussy ?
Q. I have a year and three month old german shepherd and a little younger chiwawa and the chiwawa always growls at him and he dosen't let him go inside the doghouse. My german shepherd used to be the one doing that but now it's the other way around. Why?

A. That was the most vulgar title I've seen today. Calm down tiger. Chihuahuas usually end up being the more dominant of the household. They are smaller, and typically have HUGE attitudes and are usually more aggressive. If its the pack structure, thats how it is and thats how its going to be. Nothing you can do.
