sorry i just remembered the main question i wanted to get feedback on so here goes...i have an 11 wk old male german shepherd. i also have 4 kids and a wife. when the puppy does something hes not supposed to do i "phooey" him and he stops what hes doing. when im at work and the wife and kids play with him, he sometimes listens to her but never to the kids. from reading other posts and articles on this site, it sounds like he thinks hes higher in the pack than the kids. how do i show him otherwise? any advise would be greatly helpful.
If the puppy is too much with the kids right now, I would probably leave them out of the picture. If he is biting them pretty good, and you tell the children that they are doing it to themselves, and how to avoid it, this is a good plan of action. Some kids get it. Those are the ones that you teach basic rules and ob to. Some kids don't. Those are the ones that are not allowed to play with the puppy till he is older, and has the rules of the house down. Wives I can't help you with. I don't understand the female of the species or her "drives" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
My dog is almost 8 months old now and my 5yr old son has only just started interacting with him on a physical level. Untill recently if my son moved it was all on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> He is pretty nuetral now.
The pup was just to full on to be around before.... even I struggled. The family walked every where across couches and chairs to stay away. He is now an outside dog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> My wife still hates him even though he's not as unruly as he was. Its hard for young children to stop moving like a flushed rabbit and that was half our battle. My son has slowely learned how to act around my pup without involking prey. It just takes time for the pup and child to learn how to interact with each other and thats easier once the pup grows out of the crazy stage.
