My dog was taken from her litter at 6wks (I didn't know the consequences then) and I went through a long period with a pro trainer dealing with biting. We finally conquered it, but it was expensive and I came very close to rehoming her as a German Shepherd biter is not to be accepted.
She also barked incessantly at a lampshade during the 2nd fear period. Drove me nuts but she did outgrow it. Alas, the lamp shade is full of nose print art.
Had I not spent the time with her, learned as much as possible, and worked with a gifted trainer, she would have been a sad casualty of human ignorance. She has transformed from monster puppy to my heart dog to die for...happy, sweet tempered, high drive, fearless who makes friends with everyone she encounters.
