Nice Pictures BabsT. And no kidding, but your son is like the spitting image of our son. Anyway, recently, i try to involve our son as much as possible in training Sam. Something i did not from the start, and this might be why this is happening. But we are on the right track now.

Hi Rocky's Rents, thanks for your input.
The funny part is that we play alot with sam. My son or me will play soccer for instance and Sam would be in the middle trying to get the ball. We also throw things, like balls and small branches and stuff for Sam to fetch. And my son will take the ball, or small branch away from Sam, without any problems. It is only with food, that Sam beomes some how aggressive towards my son.

I know, so true, well, i have to say that the cat food was outside, on our front porch. We have outside cats. So maybe it is not a good idea to have cat food out, when Sam is on the front porch.
Yes, Sam lets me take his food away, if i would want to do so. Right from the beginning, when we first got Sam, i would fill his food bowl, put it on the floor and i would first, (pretending) eat it. Than, i would let Sam eat. So he lets me, i test it every once in a while, sticking my hand in the bowl while he is eating. No problem.
I also do know that Sam think he is above our son, we are working hard on changing that. Your suggestion, let our son feed the dog, supervised, is a good idea. Thank you. I also do know that it is partly oour fault, since our son is a scary cat, but on the otherhand, Sam is so big and impressive for our 10 year old. If Sam stands up on his backlegs, he is as tall as our Son is

His temp is good i think. He is harmless towards us, although he did growled at my son a while ago when he wanted to make Sam stop eating our cat food, which scared me a bit, ans still does. So i told our son to leave Sam alone when he is eating. Furthermore, Sam likes attention and playing. Not for a long while. He also like to lay down next to me and relax, but only when i am one on one with him.

Hi, i am so glad to have found this web site. Thumbs up.
Attached is a picture of Sam. Sam is an Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. We got Sam when he was about six months old. He is 10 Months old now and he is doing really good. We all enjoy Sam every day. Sam is a good listener. Especially one on one. Sam likes to be with us and is very protective, which is in his nature. Allthough training Sam is going well, there are some things that i can use some advice on. For one, Sam likes to eat everything he find that is dead, like birds, frogs and yes, even poop, especially cat poop.... Furthermore, Sam likes to Jump, which is especially bothering our child. One more thing, Sam is doing extremely well while walking him on his leach. And when the walk is almost over and we enter our property again, We like to unleash Sam so he can run. But, As soon as off the leah, Sam will wonder off and when we call Sam, he will not attend or listen. I have to bribe him with a treat to make him come to us again. Any suggestions ?
