You might consider checking out some of Casear Milan's books. Yeah, that's the Dog Whisperer from television.

The Sheperd reacts to loud voices like that as a conditioned response. That is, yelling most probably preceeded or was included in abuse it suffered. It hears loud voices and gets scared. It's a conditioned response that will remain even if the circumstances change. In other words, even though it no longer gets abused after hearing loud voices, it will still go through the same mechanisms until that conditioning is undone.

You always respond to me and everyone on this board. You are in pretty much every thread on here.

That being said I know who Casear Milan is. I know all about German Shepherds. I did bother to read and learn all about them right after I adopted Lola. You wanted to know what not normal was and I gave you examples. There are plenty of animals that are not going to be normal after they were abused. Perhaps instead of being an asshole on here all the time, you should donate your free time to helping abused animals. It would actually amount to something.
