![]() Well, unless they might throw the ball for her. ![]() Halo is all about the ball and getting it before Keefer does! She's (VERY) focused on us and on Keef, and couldn't care less about people if there is a ball around. He doesn't pay a lot of attention to people unless they pay attention to him first, but then he's quite friendly, even allowing hugs from strangers and giving them kisses. He doesn't play with them but will chase dogs that send out strong chase signals. Many he ignores, but as we pass by some he will stop to sniff butts and muzzles, and sometimes get in a lick or two. Keefer is a social butterfly with other dogs. What are your dogs like in these situations? I was told by the instructor his defense is very stable and good. He lunged and barked and went after the decoy. He looked to me for instructions and when I gave none he took it upon himself to defend himself/me. When he was tested for Personal Protection we stood in a field and was approached by an unknown man to Sonar (decoy) in a threatening manor. ![]() He then lets his guard down and allows petting but is never overly excited to see anyone but myself and my boyfriend. Once the new person is in the house he observes them normally by my side, sniffing the air and then will investigate after a minute or so, he is not eager to be petted unless I offer encouragement that it is ok (almost like I need to release him of his protective mode? I say "Okay"). When new people knock at the door he gives a very mean alert bark (no hackles) and quiets and follows my commands. While on walks he stays close by me, when people approach he is alert and interested but does not lunge/bark, he just seems to take notice and keeps moving. While at the dog park Sonar frolics and plays with other dogs, he checks in every once and a while with me, when people (owners of other dogs) go to call him or pet him he ignores them completely or comes close enough to sniff and then keeps moving (not running away just that he doesn't want them the pet him). I never knew what it even meant until reading about German Shepherds.ĭoes Sonar have an aloof personality or is it something else? I feel like it is aloof to the T. When does is move from aloof to fearful or aggression? What exactly should the aloof disposition/personality be like? ![]()
