Well, here’s the situation. I have adopted a 4 month old German Shepherd that was abandoned and had been found by another family. He’s a great dog and is very loving but I’m having some trouble with his bad habits.
1) He likes to gnaw and occasionally bite while playing.
2) He likes to bark at me when I reprimand him.
3) He likes to steal food.
4) He has a problem with peeing.
Pretty much the usual bad habits all puppies get. Except he’s 4 months old and is 50 pounds of solid muscle. The peeing is what I’m having the big problem with. I literally have to take him no less than 10 times a day on a walk, two of those being long 30 minute walks. He seems to have a hard time holding his pee and has me getting up at 2 am to clean his mess up and to take him out for a quick restroom break.
So, What would be the best way to correct these things. Also has anybody else had a dog with a similar peeing problem, and what did you do to solve it?
Thanks in advance.

What pooch does not love getting a treat or two now and then. Dog owners also love giving their dog’s treats. If you have a dog, then you have a good idea of what your dog likes to nibble on. There are so many treats available these days and they all come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and consistencies. For every great dog treat, there are those on the market that are not so good. These treats can harm your pet by being lodged in your dog’s throat or intestines. This can cause choking or worse. If you love treating your canine friend, then you will want to be aware of those treats that can be potentially harmful. Even with treats that are not usually dangerous, you need to supervise your dog when they eat.
Greenies: Most dogs really enjoy these treats. They are advertised as a treats that help clean your dog’s teeth. However, you need to be aware that “greenies” can cause choking. This is because dogs eat these very quickly causes large chunks to lodge in the throat. Young puppies should not eat this treat and dogs that are prone to “scarfing” food. If your dog eats these treats, be aware of potential vomiting, bloody stools, and difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these symptoms after your dog has eaten this treat, seek medical attention.
Rawhide Chews: What dog does not love snacking on these chewy treats? Rawhides are good because it cleans your dog’s teeth and keeps your dog occupied. However, rawhides are dangerous, as well. Some rawhides that originate outside of the United States may actually be preserved with arsenic-based chemicals that will be ingested by your doggie when he or she chews. For this reason, make certain that any rawhide treat you purchase is processed in the United States where this preservative is forbidden. If you cannot tell where a treat originated do not buy it! In addition, you still need to watch your dog when he her she is munching on rawhides to help prevent choking. Make sure you buy rawhides that are the right size for your dog, too. A small dog needs the smaller sized rawhide treats.
Chocolate: Chocolate is a terrible thing to allow dogs to eat. Of course, sometimes dogs get into candy and cake without your knowledge. Chocolate is toxic to both dogs and cats, so you need to be aware of your dog sneaking chocolate nibbles, especially around the holidays. Chocolate contains an ingredient called theobromine. This acts in the canine about the same way caffeine acts in the human. A little will make the doggie hyperactive, but a huge dose may be fatal. If your dog has gotten into chocolate, you need to look for vomiting, shallow breathing, and irregular heartbeat. A visit to the emergency vet unusually results.
Bones: It seems that it is the right of every dog to be able to crunch on a real bone from time to time. Dogs love bones of all types. However, some bones can be dangerous. Both chicken and turkey bones are especially dangerous because they are brittle. When your dog chews on the, they can easily splinter and cause choking. Some pork and beef bones can also cause the same problem. Veterinarians agree that the one of the safest bones you can give your dog is a shinbone. If you must give your dog a bone, make sure you supervise your pooch and if he or she shows signs of bleeding, then you should call your vet immediately for some advice.
This is not to say that you cannot give your dog an occasional treat. That is one of the fun parts of owning a dog. You do need to watch your dog and make sure that your dog is safe when snacking. Always pay attention to what kind of treat you give your dog in case of a recall.

Letting the dog food industry decide how long dogs will live and how healthy your dog will be, isn’t this a decision you should have the full responsibility for?.

Is your German Shepherd coming to you when you call on him? Or do he pretend that he does not hear you, and go on doing something else that he might finds interesting. It is important for dog owners that the dog comes to them when called to do so. When they fail to give heed to the owner’s call, it can mean trouble. If the dog is active and does not come when called, they can run into traffic and get hit by a car or other bad stuff might happen . It is a really bad idea to let your German Shepherd dog run free without a leash, unless it is in a safe environment, like a tour of the woods where you are sure of that there is no other animals that your dog will chase. Otherwise the owner should always have the dog on a leash.
In fact, many urban areas require that a dog is on a leash or the owner could face seriouis fines. Once they can roam free and unattended, the dog could care less about obeying the commands of their owner. Once the dog act like this , they will not give any attention to the owner’s calls, or come to the owner sometimes but never every time. If you have not let this type of behavior happen, don’t start it. However, if you have, do your best to reverse the situation. You must train them to respond when you say “come here”and other commands. The best for everybody people and animals is that you have full control of your German Shepherd dog, and other people will not see it as you do, to some the German Shepherd may be considered like a wolf, so keep and train your dog so that you have full control of the dog and you will enhance the reputation of the German Shepherd race and your own reputation to.
When you use the “come here” command, use it in a way that will be good for the dog. First play with him, then do other things with him. If you use the command and then clean him up after wards, that will not be negative. Make sure that your dog does not connect your command to a bad experience. Your dog will always be learning. It’s important that each process of teaching and training is something that is positive. That way, they won’t hesitate to do whatever it is you want them to do. Every time you command the dog to come, give him a treat. It does not have to be to fancy. Praising the dog can include scratching behind the ears or patting them on the head. Just as long as it’s something that makes him feel good.
