[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A pet behaviorist will help, because there is a lot you are doing wrong. And yes, there is hope.

If your dog is anxious, it should not be at a family gathering around a lot of people she doesn't know outside her home. Why take her?

She should be separated and not allowed to roam or chase people when the repair man is there. Tether her to you, crate, or put in her own room.

She needs door training and leash training.

You have an anxious dog and her aggression is not her destiny.

But you keep putting her in situations that bring out her worst. Almost setting her up to fail.

I agree with all of this. 
You did not train her correctly from the beginning & now you're playing catch up.

You have so much work to do, but out sounds like you may be ill equipped or just unwilling to do them.

German Shepherds are a wonderful family dog, but they are also known to be protective & territorial and it sounds like you've done none of the training to prepare her for socializing which should have been done YEARS ago.

As the pp said, you're constantly setting her up for failure.[/quote]
