The funny part was that she would try to be sneaky about it because she knew she would get told to behave if he caught her doing it. She would wait for her opportunity. It really was a hoot. She knew she had to obey my commands, but I swear that she always looked at me and rolled her eyes and said 'whatever' before doing what I told her to do.

haha! What great fun and entertainment! that is so cool.. I love dogs. Jack is so independent that if you try to feed him or get him to eat something he starts growling and won't eat it. Then as soon as you walk away he'll start eating. He just doesn't want to be told when to eat! Unless it's one of his special treats that he loves then he'll eat those anytime and has no problem being fed.
That sounds like behavior that he learned as a pup. Always keep a close eye on your food!
Yes, he can't be trusted fully! lol..usually he doesn't try to get our food but I think he did once when the wild part of him took over. lol. Generally he's very good and gentle but he can get very fierce if you act like you're going to take a bone or something of his away from him. He's a 2 year old now and hasn't been fixed so I don't mind that he's agressive sometimes, he would attack to protect his territory around the house if threatened by other animals, he's never been aggressive toward people though, he loves everyone.
Jim took Anna for Shitzhund training and she was kind of amazing to be around. He was definitely the leader of her pack.
howdy this afternoon Melinda! What is Shitzhund training? It must be good.
It is a method of training and testing developed specifically for German shepherds 100 years ago in Germany. Anna loved it... And it made her a pleasure to be around. If we were going in and out of a door she never bolted around us. She always sat and waited until the people had gone through the door first and then she waited to be invited to join. If he would go for a walk in town and stop at one of the stores he could tell her to sit and wait and she would wait outside the door of the store by herself until he came back out. People used to be amazed by her because she wouldn't even look at them if they talked to her. She was focused on the door and waiting for Jim to come back out. Unless we were somewhere that required a leash he never used one. She would not leave his side for any reason without permission. . She was an amazing dog.
wow that is amazing Melinda! And she was not like that before the training? she didn't jump up on people or did she have a problem with that? Jack likes to jump up on strangers!
