PS: George, you seem to be wholly convinced that your dog is being sexual...so, why did you ask for help in the first place?

Anyone who is helping to train should now what there talking about,no wonder handlers are so confused ;)

PS if you want to show GSD you cant use haltis LOL so the chain will have to be used as part of the GSD collar

I notice in a another topic that you wish to show and breed GSD's, well I'd like to point out that unless you work hard on your attitude you are very unlikely to be successful. I sense from your posts that you are quite young (I could be wrong of course), that you are very keen and that you genuinely love dogs. These are all positive things and you are to be commended for them. However you also come across as an over confident, self righteous '5 minute expert' with pre-conceived ideas which you have absolutely no intentions of changing regardless of what advice you receive to the contrary.

Breeding and showing dogs is a HUGE subject which takes years of apprenticeship and you never stop learning. The fact that you have owned a puppy for a few months and attended a few obedience classes means absolutely nothing. Some of the people on these forums have owned, trained, bred and shown dogs for years, they offer good advice that they have tested for themselves and I suggest that you sit back and listen and learn instead of acting as if you already know everything.

This is not meant to be a nasty post, I am simply trying to help you. You have all the hallmarks of a good dog person, but George, you just gotta lose that attitude!

Extremely well said.
