We have two german shepard dogs, the male is 7 yrs and the female is 1 year old. Since we have had her she is starting to get abit of a attitude on her. She has completely wreched her kennel, she bites the other dogs legs when he runs after the ball she seems to bark more then him at night time if someone walks past. We really fuss both dogs and they are running outside everyday... so I can't understand it can anyone help?

Moderator's note, I think the site software deletes what is an acceptable term for a female dog, but highly insulting for a woman. Labman

Has she been spayed? Is he neutered? That may be your whole problem.

No they have'nt we are going to breed them! Is there any other way?

I wouldn't recommend breeding a dog that has major disciplinary problems and is aggressive as yours appears to be. All sorts of problems can result from that, the worst case scenario would be finding yourself being sued by a buyer of a pup. How would you feel if one of the pups grew into a dog that attacked and maimed/killed a child? Not good to say the least. Spaying/neutering does help temper aggression in most cases and I believe you really need to go this route with your female.

Regarding dealing with her problems, what training have you done with her to correct the aggression problem? Please be specific with the problems and how you have handled each one.

As usual, RubyPitbull has given you some excellent advice. Your question suggest to me you are much too low on the dog learning curve to be breeding. No dog should be bred before 2 years old, and no Shepherd or other large breed without hip X-rays first. This gives you a year for extensive study plus seeing if she responds to training. The problem could be your lack of leadership. The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.

To understand what I am saying about the study you need to do before breeding dogs see Woodhaven Labradors Articles

Successful Dog Breeding, by Chris Walkowicz, DMV comes highly recommended .

Please don't add to the misery resulting from others lacking the knowledge to breed quality dogs.

Can I correct you a mo, we are not breeding until her second season, this dog has been to obedince class the lady said its becoz she is doing it for attention!! I think I wrote out my question out wrong she doesn't bite him like she hurting him she does it like she playing, we are with our dogs every day!

Her second heat is much too early to be sure of sound hips. We are slaughtering millions of dogs every year due to irresponsible breeding. The dog world doesn't need you being a part of it. I gave you a link to where you can learn what it takes to breed quality dogs.

Emma, I am having some trouble reading and understanding your follow up post. If you are taking your female for training, I don't understand why you are having trouble correcting her inappropriate behavior. Your trainer should be giving you specific instructions on how to handle this. If you are not able to correct those issues with her direction, then you have a problem dog that should not be bred. Please see the links that Labman has provided. Proper leadership is the key to most behavior problems. Labman has also pointed out a major medical condition that GS suffer from: hip dysplasia. Are your dogs free from all defects? Have you ever bred dogs before? There is quite a lot to learn prior to deciding to breed. If the Woodhaven Lab link that he gave you isn't enough info for you, here is another link that will help American Kennel Club - Responsible Breeding Steps

''A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.'' Unfortunately I have seen many questions where people went through an obedience class, and the dog still was the top dog. Some classes are better than others, and some dogs are much more difficult. Those dogs that are still aggressive or have other problems, after a good class should never be allowed to breed.

How are you preventing the two dogs from mating? It sounds like they have every opportunity to do so.
