I have been a dog lover ever since I was a kid but wasn't opportune to own one untill now. I decided to get a GSD since I've made some research on dogs and found GSD Preferably. I got Nellie when she was six weeks old from a friend now, the prob is I'm inexperienced in dog training, feeding e.t.c tho I've been able to raised Nellie till now that she's 4months old by the help of same friend that I got her from. I mainly feed her Indomie together with fishmeal & fish but raising Nellie up till this stage wasn't easy coz she's too picky & rough, never barks on strangers & always pee whenever a friend shout or even tries to pet her & she lacks confidence which I'm most worried about.
Any advice on any of these her behavioral problem would be highly appreciated and also what other high proteinous dog food can I give my Nellie?

Thanks

give her a cage or put d dog ina restricted environment where only u can go nd feed her. dnt even play with her doit for a long time like one month ... nd she will bite d next stranger she sees ..be it ur mum or dad ....dn noodles really anit good .. go to any walmart ..or shoprite tell em y want dog food .. or do rearch on google on d best local food to give her .. but

No no no, am seeing d wrong advice here, could it be me DT misinterpretes wat u asking or wat? cos I feel u mean she pees out of fear nd doesn't bark cos she fears. that to me is a dog wit weak nerve nd u cannot get a dog wit weak nerve to be beta by keeping her locked up in a cage nd nt playing with her. Do d exact opposite of wat this people are telling u, play with her more often, do not beat her, cos I feel u beat her wit d attempt to mk her aggressive, go on walks wit her, gradually introduce her to new things, do not rush her else she will be worse, its sad u got a weak nerved dog BT she can be managed.
A weak nerve dog, naturally gets better with age, if its a female, some of them get territorial and aggressive after their first litter, BT den dey will still protect out of fear nd nt confidence. To build their confidence level, do not put her under pressure, show her that u love her, nd while showing her, when she cowers or pees out of fear, do not pity her or show affection cos she mite get d idea DT u want her DT way so u show u care, so instead u ignore her nd dnt beat her.
Try not to make ur frnds shout at her, d stage she is now, she sees u as her protector nd nt d oda way around, she will protect u wen she knows DT u wuld protect her wen d need arises, so discourage ur frnds frm shouting at her, it mks her more nervous nd fearful of all humans. Take her on long walks, nd while on d walk, encourage ur frnds to play wit her outsyd ur home, I know u dnt want a frndly dog nd DT is y it shuld be done outsyd ur home cos wat u need is a confident dog DT wuld protect u. I know most frnds derive joy in bullying dier frnds dogs especially wen dey know d dog will cower away, so plzzz encourage them to play wit her instead, this doesn't mean DAT if dey trespass in ur property, dey wouldn't defend. my male dog is frndly wit my frnds, plays wit dem like dey are his best pals, BT d moment dey jst pick a stick to try hit me, or land me a blow, my dog automatically changes it for dem.
after walks, u could release her to play nd rest a bit b4 u now cage her in d secluded area dis people speak of. Appart frm dis, train her ursef, dis will develop a bind BTW u nd d dog nd while training, mk use if treats as rewards instead of forceful training, do dis for abt a 2 months nd u will see great results nd finally wait for maturity nd u will av an averagely balanced dog. she will naturally bark wit maturity, some dogs are slow to learn Dan odaz
