A lot of people are afraid of them, but if that breed is raised properly,
they become an extension of whoever raised them.  A lot of TLC and time
must be spent with them or they will follow their instincts instead of
their human owner.  I was advised to get another dog immediately after
putting my shepherd down, but I believed then as I do now, that that would
have been a betrayal to her memory.  She was a once in a lifetime dog.

My shepherd didn't do that or anything else except by my command.  I
trained her to do things in English, German and by silent command (hand
motions).
