I take German shepherds that are problem dogs. Vetted by the 2nd Chance (a UK re-homing German Shepherd charity that specialises in GSD dogs) At The Moment I have 3 . The one you see on the RH side is a dog that was totally out of control and was unable to be re-homed because of his problems, if I had not taken him on he would have been put to sleep.
If you are lucky enough to have a GSD or have had them in the past, then you will know that they are a breed apart, They are unique.
The German Shepherd is used by the police and armed forces world wide not because they are aggressive but for their willingness to please their masters, they are in my opinion the easiest dog to train because of this unique quality.
Some of the viewers of this video think it is cruel to do what i have done. The dogs are performing (and they know it) and at the end they get a nice treat. Please be reassured that the dogs like to do this and they love the reward at the end.
Please read this quote from wikipedia
"The German Shepherd Dog (GSD), is a breed of dog originally bred for herding sheep. There are various other names for this dog such as Alsatian (which originated out of Anti-German sentiment during WWI) and simply German Shepherd. Today, based on 2006 Kennel Club figures, German Shepherd Dogs are one of the most popular breeds in the UK, with 12,857 registrations[1] and also one of the most popular breeds in the United States with 43,575 registrations.[2] They can be found working as guide dogs for the blind or disabled, police work, guarding, search and rescue, therapy and in the military. Despite their suitability for such work, German Shepherds can also make loyal and loving pets inside the home. They enjoy being around people and other animals, although socialization is critical for young puppies in order to prevent aggressive and dangerous behavior as an adult. German Shepherds are well-suited to obedience, with advanced and prestigious titles available to test both the handler and dog in various Schutzhund trials.
Temperament
German Shepherds are highly intelligent and agile dogs, with a strong work drive. They are often deployed in various roles such as police, guarding, search and rescue, therapy, service-dog, and in the military applications.
The breed has a personality marked by direct, fearless willingness to protect what it considers its "den" (i.e. house, car, and property in a home situation) and "pack" (i.e. human family in a home situation). It is poised, but when the occasion demands, eager and alert; both fit and willing to serve in its capacity as a companion, watchdog, guide dog for people who are blind, herding dog, or guardian, whichever the circumstances may demand.[6]
Proper socialization as a puppy is one of the two key factors which determines what a dog's temperament will be as an adult.[7] Genetics is the other.[8] They go hand-in-hand; a dog with certain genetics cannot be trained to be stable and friendly, and by the same token the genetics most fit for training are meaningless if the dog is not well-socialized as a puppy. [9] The "ideal" German Shepherd should be alert and fearless in defense of its den and pack, but loving and non-aggressive within the home environment.[10]"
