Zak Maki Webboard User Reg: 12-01-2002 Posts: 5 Loc: Offline	Hi All First time here. Salutations. I just want to ask how to train a GSD to growl and show teeth on command. I have succeeded in getting it to bark relatively easily with food but are stumped on the growling thing. Any Ideas? Wmaster: If this is not an appropriate area, please feel free to move as neccessary. Thanks in Advance. Zak its schutzhund!! not shiatzu or Shihtzu

I picked a word that was NOT in my normal vocabulary and while working defensive work - I would repeat this 1 word command. After many times of repetition, the dog picked up on it. Then you need to train your dog to shut it down also. Just like flipping a light switch. Mark

It's like cocking the hammer on a gun - if you are proficient, you don't to cock the hammer. I figure if my 80 lb hairball isn't intimidating enough, then a growl isn't going to help. My personal thoughts, Mark
