GSD goes for an attack at full speed
Environmental, genetic, and biological factors are responsible when German Shepherds attack unexpectedly. The shepherd’s intelligent, loyal, and protective temperament makes it an ideal service dog.
German Shepherds have a partially deserved reputation for attacking suddenly.
Due to aggressiveness traits passed through bloodlines, undesirable temperaments were handed down from generation to generation. Worldwide organizations like The German Shepherd Dog League identified this trait as a tendency for biting out of fear.
They warned the public to be wary of incredibly timid, easily frightened dogs.
Through selective breeding programs and the education of owners, this dangerous temperamental element has largely been eliminated from purebred German Shepherds.

Training a German Shepherd
The training a German shepherd receives is mainly responsible for its behavior.
Sadly, some German Shepherds are the victims of abusive owners who keep them as attack dogs, train them poorly, and encourage dogs to bite intruders.
They can attack when these dogs slip their leashes or escape their compounds.
Although German Shepherds should only be trained as guard dogs by experts, home obedience training for your puppy is vital for both the dog’s and the owner’s safety.
