[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2740037, member: 1242"] While everything you are saying is generally true, even high energy dogs can learn when and when not being rowdy is appropriate ... and they can learn how to play appropriately. Additionally, you are through the worst of it with her ... 5 years of age is when the vast majority of high-energy dogs start to slow down ... GC has absolutely HATED every single GSD we have had until they've hit the 5YO mark ... within 6 to 8 months of them turning 5 he's asking me why they couldn't just "be good" in the first place. Lol ... as you can tell be is NOT a dog guy ... :( There was another member here who had much the same problem ... but his dog was still a puppy ... instead of taking his dog, I simply took her in and worked with her for a few weeks. He still has his dog, hmmmm, it's been 4 years now, I think ... I'd offer to take yours and work with her but this stray that followed me home from the lake last year is NOT good with other dogs or kids. He's just now started to feel secure here and I don't want to rock his boat ... like your girl, he was dumped and I have NO DOUBT mistreated for quite a while beforehand. I hope you find a home for her. If you change your mind, all you've gotta do is holler ... [/QUOTE]
