Dog Health Questions: Dog Training for a new solo owner??????????

My family has given me a few books for dog training. One is Dog training for dummies and the other is Caesars' Way by Caesar Milan. I want to try training my german shepherd/lab mix by myself but worried it might be too late....she's 1 1/2 yrs old and I got her a few months ago. I really just want her to be able to go to places with me like a friends house and not worry that she is going to bite people....as you can tell this recently happened but pretty sure it was just that she was scared and had never been to my friends house before.

Schutzhund Dog Training - The Highest Level of Dog Training

• well in the mornings animal planet gives this show called It's Me or the Dog and it shows you how to train your dogs


• It's never too late to train a dog. You should however talk to a trainer in your area for the best way to go about it. DO NOT go to a petsmart or a petco for training. I used to work at Petsmart, and help out with training, and I was not pleased at all. I took my dog to a private training class that was cheaper and fixed all of the problems we had. I plan to be a trainer in the future.
  
  Has your dog ever showed signs of aggression? If you are constantly worried about it, the dog can sense it and you could actually cause it to happen. You definitely need to talk to a trainer though, as they can help you step by step more than anyone on here can.

• they books are great for you to practice seeing as though it has happened you need professional help outside of books if your dog bites again it could be put down or hurt someone...do your research read all you can but contact a trainer if money is an issue tell the trainer sometimes you can still receive help
