Who could be scared of him? Haha. Great pup

how do you get them to a stage in which they will bark like that when the helper comes into the room

@infernodood3 i wanna know the same thing, i've started my 13 week old rottie on small bite work but she is almost too robotic, it's a fun game for her but she doesn't ever bark or anything, just runs over, bites plays tug o'war for awhile, i give the stop command she stops comes right back and sits but she doesn't show as much energy as this shepherd does

@theleprechaun87 hi, recently i have been started to do schutzhund training with my working line german shepherd pup, and somebody i know was very good at getting the dog to start barking at him, he did this by moving around and hiding behind a blind and then coming back out and then when my dog barked he jumped back, this makes the dog think its in control of what hes doing, and whilst this was going on i had my dog on a lead, stood still and praised her

@infernodood3 thanks, i finally got my rottie to bark, it took quite a bit of work (and some pain) and i prolly did it the hardest/worst way possible but the only way i could get her amped up and energized was by rough housing with her a bit, and when she would bark at me i would give the command and praise, it took a few hours but eventually she got the idea
