Yeah, I got ya, Spiel, when Matty starts getting carried away I pull  away from him, or try to, ( had him out to the Vet yesterday and he weighs almost eighty pounds, seven months old, that is where the King Shepard comes in) I just tell him, and in a gentle voice but with some compassion in it, easy, don't hurt dad and it wasn't long before he understood what I meant.  Priceless!

 

80 pounds.....holy crap.   Imagine the crushing power in his bite.  Yikes!  

And yes, "Gentle" is always spoken in a calm and loving manner, they understand that our vocal tones underlie and enforce the command itself, imo.

I poor pity the guy that tries to come in our yard. If I let the person in the yard or house he makes a big fuss over them as though it's one of his long lost friends. But until that time he scares the crap out of everyone and anyone, especially with them teeth and he likes to show them. They almost glow in the dark LOL. I'm certainly not complaining with the crime these days. I love him for it, he's doing his job and he takes it very seriously. His senses are so keen (his 6th sense I guess) even when he is in the house, which is most the time he some how knows, day or night when there is a prowler around and goes ballistic. Pretty good for seven months. but it's his breed. Imagine him in a couple years from now when his body is fully developed. There is no better alarm system. Watch out bad guys Haha.
