My 2 yr old male German shepherd is so territorial and protective of my family, he terrifies anyone who comes over. Delivery men, cable repairmen, mail carriers, friends, etc. all have been sent running from the door because he acts like he'll tear them to pieces.
He is perfectly fine with my family, my daughters can both roll him around and stick their hands in his mouth, and I don't have the slightest hesitation about it. He acts like they are his own children. But someone comes near them, and the hair on his back goes up and the vicious barking starts. I love the way he protects us, but I'm tired of having to put him in the garage anytime someone comes over. How do I begin?
