Hi I have answered your message on our Rescue Facebook page
Karen.

how do i find it ?

added you hun thanks

Dot forget. sheperds are very protective, she could see other dogs she does'nt know as a threat, when approaching other dogs shorten her lead, and tell her in a firm voice NO, it works with my GSD, (well most of the time )

thanks alann i met up with a member on here who has gsd and wow scarlet was amazing she didnt stay barking and she was fine with them i even let her of the lead to see if she wanted a play .it was just wow ..

i have the same problem with my german shepherd bitch as well the vet told me she has fear aggression she loves the beach but i have to take her muzzled because iam scared of what she mite do to other dogs she is great with kids its just other dogs and i also ask what is the facebbok rescue page called please

Link to Facebook page please.

Ceasar wants to look at it. I sometimes have the same problem with him although he is fine most of the time. He's been going to obedience classes for 3 years but still has problems with some dogs.

Most of the problems are actually when he is on the lead. If you want your little girl to meet him (don't worry he's neutered!) I walk him on the field by the church and garage on Leasowe Road some weekends when I go to my mum's on the estate. We could "bump" into each other, he won't be bothered and it might do her the power of good.

ye that would be good i will arrange it with u one weekend or just give a rough idea of a time and i will pop down with her thanks

scarlet met up today with tillys dogs .and i was amazed she barhed and lunched forwards then got put in place and was fab then on with them and even off her lead she went over to some little dogs and was fine

The more dogs (and people) she can meet the better to "socialise" her, my early problems with Ceasar stemmed from him being locked in a boxroom and never going out.

Scarlett did bark and lunge at my 2 when we first met, but Shady soon put her in her place, no more barking from her, she was better off lead although very submissive and reluctant to play when Kaos wanted to, but he did tower over her lol! A few more meetings and she should be fine, we be seeing you with Bailey and Kaos today at 11 must remember to take some pics of them all together xx

today was great hun thanks for letting me take some off your time to meet up x i shall keep it up with scarlet and if need be add a puppy class or 2 in to the mix to help make sure she turns out like your amazing dogs xxxx so when ever you are ok to meet message ot txt me and i can be there x thanks karen so much
