We have just taken on a 7 yr old male gsp, due to circumstances we've had no time to gradually grt to know him or him us.
He was brought up from a pup with kids and my two are slightly older then those ones.
He comes with good references if you know what I mean, always been the good lovely family pet.
But, I feel a bit unnerved by him and I don't really know why or how to right this.
He is great with husband and kids but I feel he tries his luck with me. His first night at ours he humped his blanket constantly but I understand this is probably anxiety but now although a lot less he tries to do it to me.
Or he tries to get on my knee more so when my dh has told him off for it as soon as he leaves the room the dog almost gleefully comes running to try again.
Tonight we had been at the beach for hours so is well exercised.
I have been reading up on asserting yourself as leader and I'm trying to be confident etc
Any advice welcome
Now I think he knows when dh is not there I'm anxious.
