Created as a multi-purpose hunting dog, the German Shorthaired Pointer is able to point birds, retrieve in water, and track game. These canines are an athletic, healthy breed full of endless energy.
I work with rescued dogs from spain. This dogs were used for hunting and normally the spain people kill them if they are not longer good enough. Surely they are hunters and have such a lot of energy inside, but in a family they are looking for a lot of bodycontakt and are really close to all family members. If one of the family feels bad they are very close and give power back. Thats what i have seen with gsp.
Did you work with show GSP's alot ? Because the kurzhaars I worked with were among the toughest dogs I ever met. They were hunting dogs, so I assume that you met some show lineage dogs if you say they are sensitive. But I still totally agree with the fact that spiked collars are torture. If someone cannot get the basic respect from its dog (and gets pulled around) shouldn't have the right to own a dog. Especially a spirited dog like a GSP...
I've been working with GSP's alot and it only takes them long to learn if you are totally incompetent as a dog trainer. You should listen to professionals. Dog school doesn't always help, it is you that should make the relationship with your dog work. You have to control the mind, not the body. And that collar is effective because it is painful. It shows that you have no love and respect for your dog, if you would put in some effort you would succeed in teaching him some manners.
Also, I think you got it wrong on the family friendliness, I would give it 4 out of 4.
