[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois (especially Malinois) are working dogs. I’m willing to bet these are owners who believe that a half hour or hour of walking everyday is enough. It’s not. Unfortunately, it sounds as if protecting the owners has become the dog’s job. As a GSD owner, I understand why you are wary. These are great dogs but need training, exercise (my younger GSD would run hard 90+ minutes a day chasing balls or doing agility). I might suggest something like HALT dog repellent for your keychain. We had a neighborhood Australian cattle dog who disdained the UPS driver, so he started carrying halt.

I love Shepherds and Malinois, I really do. But I really wish people would recognize that these are not giant lap dogs you can keep inside all day.[/quote]

I love these dogs, but I also believe they shouldn't be (mostly the Malinois, Shephards can be fine) in basic suburban homes with owners who are doing anything under like 3 hour long walks a day and CONSTANT training. Like every second.  Amazing dogs but they demand to be trained, and without that you've got a big problem.

I second the halt. Do what you need to do. [/quote]
