Have 3 dogs in vegas and 1 back in wv. Have had dogs all my life , first off all 3 are big akita, golden retriever, and scottish deer hound. food does matter. A good food keeps the shit down and hard, junk dog food will cause extra shit and soft because it is full of junk. Have always used Eukanuba with them, have seen the difference in the way food acts from skin, and the coat as well as the end result. Have a belgium shepherd back at my dads and really learned the food with him.
six-five is right about being in control from the start, you get them own their back and bark and act mean, you can put mouth by ear and just pinch the ear with thumb and finger till you get a yelp and then back to the growling and barks , dog will go backwards might pee a little and put tail between their legs, but if you wait you will be sorry and you are not hurting the dog trust me. Then you go to class and learn comands with hand and verbal all 3 of the dogs here have it down and the shepered is unreal with every command. The akita is the only problem with comands sometimes he wants to be the head and I just put him in his place like a pup he is almost 2 now.
like I said food is importent sorry to disagree but ole roy will give you lots of loose wet shit. Hey if your on a farm fine and don't care but if it is your yard you will when you try and clean wet shit from a dog that big.
