Owning a German Shepherd is a rewarding experience. This dog breed is famous for its intelligence, protective nature and ability to learn many different commands. If you have a german shepherd, the earlier you start the training the better. Like a child, the intelligence is much easier to retain during the puppy phase.
German Shepherd training has to work to mutual benefit of both the owner and the dog. When training a large dog like a GSD you need to understand their temperament. These dogs are very active and need a lot of exercise. Not getting enough activity will make them very hard to train.
This breed is highly intelligent and naturally dominant so getting training that works ensures that you control your German Shepherd not the other way around. If you have a dog in a home with children, it is important that they have a role in the training so that the dog does not dominate them either.
Professional dog trainers can be hired and take care of all of your training needs. This option is more expensive and easier but will still require plenty of personal interaction with your pup.Training on your own can be a great experience. Remember to be consistent with the training and you will be able to save a lot of money.
The key to effective home training really is being consistent. Even it appears the dog is not learning or even if its misbehaving. Do not let be discouraged. Holding consistent training sessions even when you are tired or not in the mood is essential for proper training. These regular training sessions will establish a natural hierarchy that makes you the leader and your German Shepherd the follower.
Training should start as soon as the puppy first arrives at the home. Your children need to be taught how to maintain the same level of firmness you hold as the leader of the pack. This does not mean you cant be affectionate, it means to need to take charge and make sure that your German Shepherd understands at all times that you are the boss.
Proper dog training reinforces the necessary roles the dog should learn and maintain. You hard work will pay off and you will have a loving pet who protects your home and family while respecting all of the members and the house rules. Once your pup is demonstrating the proper behavior with out being prompted continue to reward them to reinforce the right behavior.
