Well said. Imho, being experienced with a breed is key.

All dogs can be aggressive if mishandled, but those of us with the larger, more athletic breeds have a particular responsibility. Our youngest, just a year old, weighs 80 to 85 pounds and our largest weighs 120. There is absolutely no way I could control any of my dogs by brute strength alone. That’s where knowledge and experience is essential.

You don’t let your dog walk YOU then, I assume.....way out in front ?

Ba da ba da boom. :) :)

My oldest GSD came home at a tad over 6 weeks. OTHER THAN thunder, she is THE most stable animal I’ve had the joy of owning/training.

I have no clue if it’s a fluke or what ... so no flames please.
