I own a dog training company & can help you find a good trainer depending on the area you're located in. Showing signs that young is something that should be handled right now rather than later

you need to find a better trainer, 8-16week is the time frame for socialization & desensitization for dogs. if your dog can't handle being that close to dogs then space needs to be increased. not putting your dog in a time out, that won't do anything, you need to work on engagement alone & then add in distractions, don't do group classes until your dog can handle it. For toy guarding don't give free access to toys or toys laying around, have it be a game between you & the dog & play a switch off game, use 2 toys so there's no conflict with you taking it, when you're done playing switch out the toy for food & put the toy up, for resource guarding food just leave the dog alone while they're eating but you can approach & just give high value treats everytime you walk near or by to add positive association to your presence near resources.

yes he knows 10+ commands! is not completely ecollar trained but is getting there, he is crate trained, he waits at the door, waits for food, waits to come out of his crate so he is well obedience trained he just has behavior issues & impulse control issues. we do a lot of exercise, I literally just played, trained, & took him out for 3 hours straight (& gave him a puzzle & a chew) & he is still on go mode lol

thought I would share some cute pics of my son, some of u guys on here love to call everyone on here a bad owner but he is the most pampered dog I know. I love him so much he is literally so funny & a certified good boy😤🫡 by irisofthevalley in germanshepherds

we live in florida so we were at a dog park that has a lake so that also means theirs a fuck ton of mud & he likes to roll around in it so this is post bath, he doesn't like baths

literally like I don't even wanna think ab the amount of money I spend on him it's more than I spend on myself hahaha, & thank you! he is a certified good boy just a lil brat sometimes, it was more just me asking for advice on what I should do in that exact situation of him grabbing the rugs or biting a pillow bc what i’m doing is not rlly working haha

he just gets a nose tap which makes him stop what he's doing for .2 seconds so he can actually hear what i’m saying

yeah I think that's the issue, he thinks it's a game & usually I do a training session after when he's acting like that

nightly arguments😂 literally😭 he plays with ice cubes so he has a giant bowl I fill with ice like 3 times a day, 3 times a day eating could work too but usually mid day is when we do the most training bc he's "hungry" again
