ok.. my prob is my german shepherd barks at other dogs he doesn't know (those that pass by).. i think he was traumatized by the attack he got 2 months ago.. that's why he's trying to attack first before the other attacks him.
on the other hand i was thinking... he's just 5 months old and get over these on the long run...
however... we have another dog coming up... a shih tzu... i was wondering what could happen if my dog sees a new dog in the house, thinking of it's current behaviour towards other dogs. moreover, a shih tzu is very small... i was thinking of the small dog. she might also gain trauma, if my shepherd would bark at her all the time.
HOW CAN I STOP MY SHEPHERDS BEHAVIOR????

she is doing exactly what shepards were bred to do, she is guarding her property. praise her when she barks, tell her she did a good job then tell her that it is ok that's enough
