He should be teething at that age, and as Haney said, he will somewhat grow out of it. When Lisl would do that I would stop her and firmly say NO BITING, while pushing her back. Sometimes pushing her face/head back. Many times a re-direct works better depending on their mood. While saying NO BITING, give him a toy to divert his attention from you.
I used positive re-inforcement for 90% of my training of German Shepherd Dogs. I have found over the years, that bitches are easier to train than the males. Their attention spans seem better, and they submit to second banana much easier than alpha males do.
We are here for you brother. Bronson can play with all of our dogs on the other side when it is his time. They will help him out and he will have friends.
Thank you. There are still some great people on the hide. I thank you for your kind words. And Bronson thanks you.
What a beautiful girl.This was Lisl von Schlaf. She passed away on 05JAN24 in her sleep at 11 years, 3 months, and 9 days. I miss her dearly. She was my fifth German Shepherd Dog I raised and trained from a pup. She was the most intelligent of the lot, and I think a lot smarter than I knew. She was so easy to train she would have a command learned in less than an hour and never forget it. Excellent personal protection dog, knew basic and advanced obedience, agility exercises, and tracking.
Her ashes are sitting beside me.
My condolences on your loss.
I wish I had better words for you at this time.
Watching out best friend decline is one of the hardest things there is.
My prayers are that, when the time comes, it is peaceful and you are able to be with him.
They give us their all and ask for so little in return.
My thoughts are with you.
I had a dog we called cow dog. She was a real good girl. RIP Recon. She is the big one on the floor.Cow dog not doing cow things

Thanks for posting this. My time was RVN '68, '69 and '70. Our teams stayed in the same AO as combat units moved in and out. Our job entailed working with indigenous people. The entire time I was there the combat unit was the 173rd. I lived on two different LZs. One Bigade size and one Battalion size. There were a number of names spoken with reverence. Three were soldiers and one was a scout dog of the 39th Scout Dog Platoon attached to the 173rd. His name was Budda.

The indigenous that we worked with were, I'm sure, treated in the same manner.
Edit: I suggest you grab a couple of Kleenex if you take the time to read Budda's story. I had no idea the dogs were treated in this manner until several years after I left.

Her royal grumpiness is starting to adjusted to the new house.
Does she have a Kong you can fill up with peanut butter?
She used to have one, but sadly that was back when she had the energy of a rabid alligator on cocaine and it only lasted two days. Going on 12 yo,
she's slowed way down.
Yes, when they slow down, they really slow down. Lisl still carried hers around and ate the PB out of it, but she didn't have any interest in chasing it any longer.
She went through five in eleven years.

She use the Chukit as her emotional support ball, or as I tell strangers that come into work, it's the only thing keeping her from biting the piss out of you for getting too close.
He started out really light weight but tall compared to the German Shepherd puppy growth charts I can find. But he seems to be doing just fine. He has a ton of fluff going on, but when I wash him and can see what his body really looks like he seems lean, but nowhere near scary lean. He’s happy and has energy and drive so <shrugs>
At 8 weeks he was 9” but only 8lbs
10 weeks about 11” and 12lbs
12 weeks about 14” and almost 19lbs
They were so fluffy they didn’t notice that the Dam had stopped feeding them and 2 of the pups died. He seems to be making a rebound from his low weight. But most places I look people seem to say those charts don’t always jive.

Here's #3...
This is the "compromise" pup... Where she said she wanted another pup, and I said I didn't... So we compromised and got another pup.
It's all good though... he exasperates her and when she's finally had enough he comes and lays down at my feet and behaves.

Came back to the tin teepee (travel trailer) from the council fire (BS session) at the and found this, 
Had Cedar out for more training last week, based on what I’m seeing she is going to be a great hunting dog and I’m super excited for this fall.
She also really likes boat scritches.
