How can I train my german shepherd to be calm?

A.Y. asked:


Whenever I go to play with my dog, she always jumps on me and steps all over me and since she is so big and i am so PUNY it's not very good. I don't know how to make her calm! I am so sick of it because I love my german shepherd head to tail but if she doesn't behave, my dad makes me put her into her crate?

If you own a Chow Chow or if you're thinking about getting one, then this may be the most important letter you'll ever read...

What are the risks of shaving a German Shepherd dog?

Karla asked:


I have two beautiful German Shepherds, both 12 years old now, which I brush daily. I enjoy the brushing and love my dogs. A friend of mine wants to buy a Shepherd and shave him to control shedding. I am really upset with her. Told her that she should not buy a Shepherd if she is going to shave him and that she should consider another breed. She insists that shaving is not only OK but recommended by Vets. Am I wrong or is she?
