Actually it's not just an old wives tale, years ago in the UK a family friend said just the same thing - here's why: (taken from the site below)



I don't suggest that any Alsatian puppy owners rub their GSD puppies ears backwards away from the tip of its nose or to scrunch them up in their hands when petting the dog. Since the musculature in the GSD puppies ear is just now developing, you don't want to do anything to disturb that new ear development. If you were to scratch the pups ear at its base (where it attaches to the skull) the puppy will enjoy it just as much and you will not disturb that developing ear structure in any way

Msg. 1 Actually I think it was more the way you worded your query. You made it appear that the dog wouldn't actually learn to stand up if you played with the ears. That's probably why you got the reaction you did. OK?
