Michelle, I have been there, done that! Bits my first GSD was the most mellow of dogs. When the time arose, and a psycho was at the door (acting like he was a post engineer) she INSTANTLY crouched and back off the door ready to spring had I opened it............she never made a sound and boy was that lip curled.
