I have two GSDs. The best thing you can do for your dog is to socialize them with people and other (friendly) dogs at this age! That is the very best thing to do now!
GSDs are very smart and protective. They also have high energy and need to be kept occupied! If you do not do this, they will find ways to entertain themselves at your expense. Unfortunately, barking is part of this. The best way is to keep them active and at ease in various situations. Walks and hikes are excellent ways to do this. I have my dogs involved in dog sport. I can definitely tell the weeks that they do not go!!
PS I love the name Borun! That is too cool!

I have 5 dogs and at one point or another they have all barked at something they shouldn't have. one thing that works great for me is to take a soda can and put a penny in it. When the dog starts to bark, you shake the can and say no very firmly and loud. This should startle your dog and if you do it enough times they should stop. Obviously this won't work overnight, but after you do it enough, the dog should get the idea that barking is a no-no.
You could also get a bark collar but read the directions thoroughly before you use it. The soda can is an easy and inexpensive way to correct your dogs bad behavior. Good luck

Take him to the park and make sure you socialize him with children as well with other dogs. You also need to reprimand him with a strong voice that he shouldn't bark when he not told too. Keep your voice commands short to the point and with a strong voice. Take a course in obedience class that way he is able to be around people as well as with other dogs and a professional will be there to be able to observe and help you correct him. You want to make sure you correct before he gets too old and hurts someone.

My GSD Pepper did this often when she was a pup. Make sure that your puppy knows that you are the boss. When my dog barks at unacceptable times. I get her attention and give her the quiet command, and then reward her when she is quiet. It takes patience and training, but GSD's are very eager to please and quick learners. Good Luck!

a number of you rather everyone seems to be ignorant...I had an identical difficulty! yet I enable my dogs sleep with me on account this is how i like it. And confident she did moist the mattress, loads of circumstances. I continuously made her sleep precise next to my head. each time she moved, I enable her exterior to pee. it rather is is extremely like having somewhat infant. or you could placed a bell on their collar to wake you up. in case you nevertheless do no longer want your dogs to sleep with you, circulate away the dogs interior the cage and enable it cry. in case you enable it out, it will strengthen into custom to that. doggies are basically like sons and daughters! placed a blanket over the cage, circulate away a radio on, a television on, a clock, or some thing that makes noise. i does not placed something interior the cage in the experience that your dogs is somewhat domestic dog. it rather is going to circulate to the bathing room throughout it and could finally tear all of it up. basically my opinion considering that that's what my dogs did!

well you should let kids play with the puppy so the puppy can know that it's ok to be around kids. everyday or so pass by a park that there's kids and see what he/she does. the puppy will become used to being around kids.
