2. German Shepherds can act aggressively out of fear.

Aggression and behavioral problems do not occur in every dog breed. However, if you have a German Shepherd, you might face aggression problems quite a lot.

So, why does a GSD behave like this? Are there any situations that trigger this behavior? Or is there something wrong with your dog?

According to Shepped.com, the common aggressive behaviors in German Shepherds include:

  • If your GSD is barking at you and when you tell it to ‘stop’, it starts to bark louder.
  • If your GSD is biting on the furniture or chewing something it shouldn’t and you tell it to ‘stop’ or give it a ‘no’ command but it starts to growl at you.
  • If your GSD snaps at you when you ask it to stop doing something.
  • If your GSD is trying to harm children or other animals in the home.
  • If your GSD is biting on your hand and feet with force.
  • If your GSD is chasing other pets in your home with a continuous bark.
  • If your dog growls at you when you touch it.
  • And much more.

    Had shepard when my kids were tiny. We were fishing one day on a dock. A little boy reached for their tackle box. Prince gently took the little ones hand in his mouth and said no no in doggie language. Amazing dogs very protective.

    I agree with most of them except the one where it says German Shepherds don’t understand speech’s, my German Shepherd had the runs a couple of weeks ago and I told her if she wanted to go out just wake me up and I’ll let you out, she woke me up at 4 in the morning and I let her out, so I like think it what I said to her.
