i got a boy german shepherd about a year ago,i got him from the local blue cross rescue centre,his name is boston which was his name when i got him so kept it as its quite a nice name for him,hes about 2 1/2 years old now

well last week i bought a girl puppy to keep him company,shes nearly 11 weeks old now and is a little cutey but also a little terror lol


i have to seperate them at food time at the moment as shea really mad on food and wants bostons food aswell as her own lol here she is trying to escape to get to his food lol

 

looks fun...

 

Afpmsl @ The escape picture. Proper cutie mate, more pics please!

 

i will get a few more pics tomorrow,my gf has got a pic on her phone of the puppy chewing the end of bostons tail lol

 

Ha! Is the other Dog jealous then?

 

he does get a little jealous but hes getting better,hes been on his own for nearly a year so has always got all the attention,we try giving them both the same amount of attention and i always give boston a bigger fuss when i can so he knows he isnt getting pushed out

 

She's cute and all that but you really need to put a stop the the food craving or your gonna end up with alot of fights in very near future.A good dog behaviourist should be able to teach you how to deal with the situation rather than making gaurds to stop her getting his as this then causes more frustration and anger which then leads to aggression.Imagine what she's gonna be like fully grown m8 if she showing signs of anger already over food!!

Pic of my 2.Male German Shephard and female Alaskan Malamute





She was the same with food but sorted that after about 4 days pmsl.Only had 3 small fights since over trivial things

 

how did you sort it then mate,she doesnt get angry over it it seems more like shes just being greedy

 

very pretty dogs

 

looks stunning. pups crack me up.they are so funny when they are exploring everything and trying to escape


snedboy,everytime i see your maly picks they put an instant smile on my face.

 

My two, Poppy is 11 years old now and Rolo has just turned 1 year. They get on really well. You should not have many problems with a dog and a bitch, it is two bitches together that cause a problem. Pleased Boston is a rescue dog so is Poppy

 

Watching Ceaser Milan 'The Dog Whisperer' has became my new hobby lol.Learned alot from him and how dogs behave in a pack.Even a dog as a pet see's the family as a pack so you and your gf need to be calm assertive pack leaders and be consistant with everything,doing everything the same.The magic word 'shhhttt' is all i say nowadays to control both them,no name calling,no use of word 'no' and a quick touch if they get too nosey of another dog and at same time 'shhhttt'

You would need to watch it a few times to understand where im coming from lol but to control her food obsession all i done was anytime she went near his food i would say 'shhhttt' and if she kept going nearer i would say the same with a firm touch to her hind leg or next to her head if head was closer.It's hard work to keep on top of it to begin with but after a few attempts you get it perfect and no need for touch unless they are highly strunge in a situation

Bullet every time i see your sig pic i cant help but smile

Just to add greed is a control thing which in long term is anger against other dog.She is the 1 in control as you have had to use a gaurd to control her and she see's that as just an obstacle to get over to feed her habbit.She is obviously a pack leader when in puppy pack with mum so will act the same until you show her your the leader

 

snedboy, ive been watching caesar for years.he is unbelievable.
i learnt loads from him.

but even he says that huskies are really hard to train he has struggled with them a few times

 

Gorgeous dogs, and the pups are just awesome. It's good to hear they're rescue dogs too.

 

Awwwwwwwwwwwww puppies rock!

 

yeh boston was from the blue cross but the puppy i bought through a friend,boston i saw him as he came out of his kennel and knew i had to have him lol i couldnt ask for a better dog being as he showed signs of a bit of abuse/neglect when we first got him home

 

did you find the pup in a drain ? was there any more ?

 

i think all the puppies from the litter have gone now

 

Real nice pup you've got there

 

cheers mate,shes getting better with the food thing now aswell
here she is wanting a fuss and to play quite late at night lol

had her food and just wondering if theres any more lol

waiting for boston to finish his food just in case theres anything left over

 

The older dog looks well breed,

Does not have little froggy back legs like some of these kenal club dogs have.

 

got boston from the blue cross rescue centre near me,i was told that they had him checked by a vet and said he has got something there with his back legs but nothing that will bother him until hes older,i know what you mean as ive seen quite a few german shepherds that are really low on there back legs and seem quite stretched out if you know what i mean

P.S cheers mate (elvis)

 

+1

Sort the problems out now - or you never will!

You can't have two large dogs who think they are leaders or you will be letting yourself in for a nightmare! Two dogs are hard work unless you are in control.

I have 2 (staffy cross and a lurchur) and my house is tiny (1 bed room) they have to behave, there just isnt the room to much about. It extends to when they are out being walked (which we do alot becuase of the space) and they are so good now on and off the lead thanks to Cesar!

Little things like the 1st person through the door going outside is the pack leader - you have to make them wait and assert your control

Good luck - lovely looking dogs

Alex
