LOL all the German dogs are hard headed. I have a neighbor that calls the police every time "my" dog barks. The police have about had it with this guy as an officer stood outside my house talking to my neighbor and the dog never barked in the 20 minutes he was there. The problem is that I back up to 3 houses and two of them have little nippy barking dogs in them. They actually come out the doggie door barking and don't stop until they go inside. Well my dog hears them and barks back ..... and which dog do you thing the idiot hears..no not the little nippy dogs but mine because she is louder.
I have stooped to bark collars but she's not stupid she shakes her neck until the collar moves away from her throat and then she starts barking again. So unless you want a dog that will not warn you of people on your property then learn to live with a dog that barks...I have.
NOTE: Rotties do not bark every often in fact they do not give you a warning before they attack so if you want a dog that is quiet get a Rottie. All the nasty things people say about them are not true, they are a very loving dog and the ones that have attacked people have been trained to do so.
