Ok, so my dog is not the smartest in the world, but I would think at being the age of 5, he would have learned to walk with me and behave now. No.

The thing is is that when my parents first got him, they never trained him at all. Nothing. It was a big mistake that they never corrected him. The dog was originally for my step-sister because my step-dad told her about it. But she couldn't take him so we ended up with him.

So I go to take him for a walk today. I just want to mention that whenever you say walk, he goes ape shit. He does this all the time. All he does is pull you and sniffs everything. He never walks with you or beside you like a properly trained dog would. He was pissing me off so bad I took him home after I passed like 4 houses on my block because the other dogs came out and he was barking at them and pulling the shit out of me. So I pulled the shit out of him back to the house.

It really pisses me off and I end up smacking him when I get him. I don't hit him hard, but I have to scream and yell and hit him so he gets the idea that what he is doing is bad. I feel bad for hitting him because I try to display pacifism, but he has to be corrected. I don't want to hit him hard anyway because he could go after me. He is a German Shepherd after all. We even have a choker...but that doesn't help at all. It did when they first got it, but my step-dad was really hesitant to get one.

I love the dog, but I would never keep him in my own house without being trained. Any dog I get is getting properly trained.

He's a German Shepherd so he is good for protection, but he just doesn't listen. I don't think I am taking him for any walks anymore. He just can't be controlled. He's a really nice and loving dog too so I hate it that I can't take him for walks.
