I see what you mean. I want to be a trainer myself but I know that there will be times when they will not listen, and not be happy when you inform them that they are doing it wrong and advise how to do it right.

Great video, as a …
Great video, as a trainer it is SO irritating to work with people who hire you, then don’t want to listen to you, then expect you to train their dog to be perfect in one hour. I enjoy watching the training shows on animal planet and NatGeo in my spare time, but I’ve seriously had owners say things like “well (insert famous trainer name here) fixed a dog like mine in one episode on their show…” People get dog’s and don’t realize it takes time to train them.

That was a really great speach,it had slot of good points.

Also, try to get in touch with owners of stable, slighty dominant, social, secure dogs. You definitely want to practice with dogs like that. I think she doesnt know how to play anymore, cause of traumatic expirience. She should get lots of practice with stable social dogs to show her not allz dogs are bad. She should learn to ignore dogs when she’s on leash, and play with them of leash. Might take weeks or months before it starts to show effect thow. Dont give up.

Oke, i saw this …
Oke, i saw this kind of behaviour before with other dogs. It’s likely your dog had a bad expirience (probably with your trainer, who’s incompetent to teach). Keep rewarding good behaviour as i told. But you really have to ‘read’ your dogs bodylanguage. If she’s not actively showing wrong behaviour but only with bodylanguage, you dont want to reward that either. She really has to show good behaviour for the reward.

when she is offleash,she charges at other dogs and kind of scares them,but she puts her front paws down in a playing mood,but she runs way to fast up to other dogs

Its better to visit a good dogforum to ask questions. Or buy some books about raising dogs and training dogs. But you should be carefull with that too, cause there are still lots of people trying to teach you the wrong way. Books about positive training methodes works the best. Its based on rewarding instead of punishment. 9 out of 10 times the dog gets agressive cause he’s scared or insecure. Did my tip helped your dog so far? And how does your dog react to other dogs when he’s of leash?

Ofcourse! But if …
Ofcourse! But if your puppy keeps barking for no reason after enough play and exercise you should ignore it. Sometimes they try to test you or try to get your attention for the simple reason the puppy wants to. It really depends on the situation. Stuffed kongs are perfect to keep them quiet indeed.

I had my gsd pup for 3 weeks with a professionell trainer,qualified and certified,but the outcome was really bad,so what can it hurt to ask others for advice,thanks to the trainer,my dog is now agressive towards other dogs

Why are you asking …
Why are you asking for dog training advice from people you don’t even know? You have no way of knowing if someone is giving good advice or bad. Before I hired a dog trainer to teach me how to teach my dog, I spent time researching the credentials, experience, and training philosophies of several trainers. My dog is too important to be entrusted to just anyone.

Hang on. Why is …
Hang on. Why is your puppy barking? Boredom? Dogs bark for so many reasons, what is your puppy trying to tell you? When and where does he bark? Is he/she getting enough exercise? A tired puppy is a good puppy. A stuffed kong can also keep him/her busy.

I think I …
I think I understand what you are saying, Grace. You are saying that in your opinion it is harder to teach dogs than it is to teach children because we don’t share a common language. That’s a valid point of view.
I also think that when raising a child, one is always aware – or should be aware of -that a child’s mind is like a sponge and one is always “teaching”. It’s easy to forget that this is also true for dogs; I know I do.

put him on a leash, …
put him on a leash, and watch his reaction to the other dog. ignore his bad behaviour, take distance from your dog, step back or something to show him. or even turn your back to him. your dog is provoking the dog, thats fine but you have nothing to do with it. so step away. as soon as he doensnt react to the other dog, ignoring it or watching at you, you reward him with ‘good boy’ or something, or a treat.

ignore your puppy …
ignore your puppy when he is barking. dont even look at him. reward him when he is quiet. dont tell him to stop barking, cause negative attention is attention too so its rewarding for the dog if you talk to him. works 100% just ignore.
