More than likely its a symptom of both. A lot of guys cant train but take peoples money. There's a lot of ego in training when it should always be about going with the dog. How old is your dog and where did you get him. I tell people all the time you're gonna spend for quality genetics from a reputable breeder or a ton to a trainer to overcome weak genetics and mask the holes. I lost the best dog i ever had last year. Imported him from Bulgaria. Kerry Kamos Durabo and Pali grandson. Best balance of prey and defense drives I've ever seen in a dog. Was offered his brother as a replacement for free and i refused. He had a soul and i haven't personally owned another German shepherd since. Gotta wait for the right one. Thinking of getting a Ibon son tho.
