Well, maybe all people aren't evil! Mama had some ladies over last night and me and Dad hung out upstairs. I heard the doorbell and I tried telling Dad - DANGER! Let's go get them! But he said no. I did a little squeaking and protesting and then I calmed down.

After a few hours I told Dad - I've got to pee! What to do? They thought about locking the guests in the bathroom.. Then they put my pinch collar on and took me downstairs. I growled a little, but I really had to pee! Then I came in and stood with Dad, Mom pet me and I looked at the people. They didn't look all that bad. Plus Mom was petting me.

Then we went back upstairs! Bye people! That was kind of weird! Oh well, it all worked out! And I got to smell where they were sitting later!

Mom and Dad say that was a really huge improvement. Before they say I was just plain bananas. 'Relax on a mat' must be helping!!!

Good job Ulli! I do NOT like strangers in my home either. When people come over, I come out, say hi, sniff them and then I say "See you later suckers!" and I go to the bedroom and watch Animal Planet or COPS. Much better than socializing, BOL!

Good work my friend! You know, I never met a person I DIDN"T like,BOL ! It's amazing how much difference there is between breeds. As a GSD you are doing what you were bred to do and you are learning how to temper that protection instinct.You are one SMART pup !
