I really needed all your help with my GS puppy, Junior. About a month ago he is ALWAYS going after my two sons ranging 11 and 7, what I mean by going after my sons is biting my sons legs, and tonight when I take Junior outside for running around, when he saw my sons came out from backyard he ran toward to my both sons then bite my oldest son leg, and this time he bite without releasing, until I gave him a hard correction then he releashed my son's leg, and this time not even brushed my son's leg actually draw blood....
Currently I only used flat buckle collar on him, and I am thinking tomorrow go buy a prong collar for him. I try to used food and toy to redirected him but it didn't work...
Please tell me how should I deal with this behaviour
Walter, you need to immediately PREVENT any interaction between your dog and your sons....period. Other more experienced trainers will chime in to help determine if this is aggression, but it certainly makes me extremely uncomfortable.
He know very basic obedience like here, platz, sitz and wait.
As for exercise wise, I took him out side for chasing ball until he go find shade to lay down him self then I took him back to his crate.
Since he still consider puppy, I never take him for bike riding or let people pet him beside my family members. I just came back from our family vacation and I bring Junior along with me, and he is acting very shy to strange place and he refused to go in to the hotel that have automatic slading doors period, I actually needed to pick him up and put him down in the lobby...

Sliding doors and strange places can be very intimidating to dogs who have not been exposed to these things or socialized adequately as a young pup... they can seem very frightening.
It sounds as if your pup might understand basic commands when no distractions are present (ie: young boys).
Is this the pup you have had since he was four months old? If so, do you know anything about his history prior to coming to you?
Yes this is the pup I bought when he is 4 month old. I bought him from a GS breeder. And he is the last from his litter, I did asked the breeder why Junior is the last one havent been sold, and the breeder told me due to his color!! Actually I really like Junior color, his red color is very deep, just like Rottweiler or Doberman.
