I have a German shepherd/Husky mix named ROCKY. He's a very energetic dog so we take him out to a park once a day for about 45 minutes to make him dispense some energy. He is a good dog. We have trained him to obey some basic tricks such as stay, sit, lie down and shake paw, but he is extremely aggressive. He will growl and snap at anyone who tries to take something away from him. My question is how can I train him to stop acting in this aggressive manner? Please help.

OK to train the dog until the point where he trusts you completely and has a very high level of either basic or advanced training is key to getting rid of aggression, when he becomes the submissive member of your family or "pack" he should stop aggressive or dominant behavior. If he still shows signs of aggression after this then you should use distraction as a method of training. so once you see early signs of aggression snap him out of it by use of a whistle or call him gently.

Other ways include practicing the "drop it" command on sticks or stones etc and then trying it on his toys and bones. hope I helped good luck.

I just got a german shephard/ husky from the local animal shelter. He is less than two years old. I was actually looking for a puppy, but saw this dog and just fell in love with her. So I adopted the dog but is waiting for the animal society to finish with the sterilization and inspection before they hand her over. I can't wait so excited. I just have a few questions and due to work, can't get to shelter for two days.
How difficult is it gonna be to train her now, given how old she is?
She did seem well mannered but silly me didn't ask about her history at the time (I've made a list now for when I go back) I nervous or excited but just don't know what exactly to expect. Please help, I wanna be prepared and make her feel at home when she arrives

Whatever obedience training you decide upon, I hope you do it soon. Dog trainers have told me it is very difficult to train established aggressive behavior out of a dog.

You did not say how old your dog is. We started training each of our dogs when they were puppies. We would take a toy or bone or reach for their food and then give it to them. They soon learned to trust us and therefore we are able to take a dangerous item from them without fear of being bitten. Then we reward them for being a good dog.

Get Cesar Millan's new book "Be the Pack Leader". He is on TV as the Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic channel. I have had much improved success with my Red Heeler spitfire just from watching the show.
