I just got this Black German Shepherd puppy and the guy I got him from told me he was trying to train him in order to protect his garden or something.
Anyway that basically means no socializing and most likely beating.
So the first 3 days my puppy was very scared, tail between his legs and whatnot which I understood though within the first day he became best friend with my labradoodle ( F 5 years old, she was also fixed and is very energetic and playful) 4 days in I took them both to the vet, him to get the last vaccine he needed and her for a checkup ( everything is fine) the day after taking them to the vet, the puppy started having random bursts of aggression, he ,out of nowhere, starts snapping, biting, barking and growling at me and my family though a lot more at me, he barks at my father and growls and snaps though he leaves him alone after a few seconds. Me? He barks jumps and bites me, sometimes my labradoodle jumps in and stops him.
I ( also wanted to mention that I’m a female if that matters) am currently trying to train him since most times he seems alright and actually lets me pet him though he never wants to play, I bought him a few toys which he has 0 interest for.
I do spend more time with the doggies than my family, not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I keep them both in the garden of my house, they’re not in-house dogs.
What should I do? I’m thinking about finding a trainer for my puppy though I really wanted to train him myself.
And I highly doubt that the puppy is having an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
Any suggestions would help.
