Daniel Hughes Webboard User Reg: 03-10-2005 Posts: 1 Loc: Offline	My parents have a ten week old GSD. She lives with my pit bull and is fine. Loves people as well. They took her to petsmart for the first time. One time she hid behind the owner at the sight of a dog. The rest of the time she got between the owner and the dog and growled and barked. Side not the bark was a deep one as if she were an adult. ears were up. question one how do you determine if this is genetic or socialization. how would you go about trainging both said sources. she needs to get out and continue her socialization with humans thanks for the info IGNORANCE BREEDS CONTEMPT ~Guardian Angel Kennels~

BUT you need hit the 'socialization' trail hard for the next few years! Particularly the first year they go thru stages, so one week they'll be great and the next the same situation will be very scary to them. We need to be consistant and the leader so they learn to look to us and cue from us to make their judgements, rather than just reacting. She's very young so you are smart to know to work on this now.
