john scotttaylor--this is really meant as CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, so don't get all mean and hateful with me, ok?
i find your posts extremely difficult to read; they are TOO short and sweet, the punctuation is questionable (as is your's, BTW, Mike S.--can we say "run-on sentences <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />"), and really doesn't add much to the discussion.
maybe you're a world champion trainer, i don't know; and i know that communicating on the internet is a LOT different than on the phone or face-to-face. but could you perhaps work on complete sentences &/or even a paragraph with a subject, explanation and conclusion when you respond to a thread?
all the rest of us (or maybe only me <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> will get a lot more out of your posts. just a suggestion.... <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Further to your post.
I have always kept back at least four pups out every litter whelped.
This includes Rottweilers, Labrador Retrievers and Border Collies as well as German Shepherds.
My post was specifically towards a 10 week old German Shepherd pet.
I did err in my previous post to the thread, they chase my right ankle
clockwise and my left ankle counter clockwise.
I have emailed you further detail of my post to thread.
It would take up too much space here.
Anyone else that wants more detail, I'd be more than happy to send it along.
Otherwise I’ll stick with my original.

i dont see anything wrong with my posts punctuation perhaps you don't know how to read it right i'm not looking for a pulitzer prize perhaps such critique is best left to pms
My pup is now 14 weeks old and doing pretty well. She is currenlty is the "curious about everyting stage" and picks up every piece of disguarded garbage she comes across.
She is also getting very protective of out property. If I am with her on the front porch, or front yard and someone comes by the house, she is quick to bark and let them know she is there. Is this a bad thing????? If the barking get excessive, I give her a "NO!" and acorrection if that is what's warranted. Should I be doing this?

How does one play hide and seek with a puppy I am new to this so please bare with me.
Sherri:
My daughter and I just started playing hide and seek with our GSD to start teaching him the come command. This is how we do it. You need two people:
My daughter holds Apollo by the collar and the I bait him with a treat (let him smell it in my hand, but don't let him have it yet). Then I run away and hide behind a tree or bush or somewhere he can't see me.
Once I am hidden, I yell Apollo COME! My daughter lets go of the collar and he finds me. I get him to sit and then give him the treat and lots of praise. He loves the game and is catching on pretty quick.
I don't know what others have done, but this is working for us.
Have fun! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
