As owners of German Shepherd dogs, it is essential to have good training methods because German Shepherds are highly intelligent and exceptionally functional dogs. If owners do not master a good training method, your German Shepherd might look down on you. The learning ability of German Shepherds is truly admirable; they quickly understand and accept their owner's commands. Elegant and with a kingly dignity, they are also highly sought after.

However, if a dog is not properly trained, it not only affects the life and safety of people around but can also cause other serious consequences, so the training method must be correct.

At this point, the editor has to say, what kind of training method is the safest and most effective for German Shepherds? Don’t worry, let’s look at the training methods organized by the editor below.

1. The training time for dogs should start early. What does this mean? It means training should begin gradually when the dog is a puppy since at this stage the dog's ability to learn is very fast. Perform simple command training appropriately every day. Because the dog is still young, its comprehension is not very good, so owners need to be patient, repeat training often, maintain a gentle attitude, and avoid frightening the dog.

2. During daily training, often take the dog to walk among crowds. This not only exercises the dog's ability to recognize scents but also alleviates the dog’s resistance to unfamiliar situations, preventing it from baring teeth when seeing strangers. This is very important and can quickly help the dog adapt to changes in the surrounding environment.

3. Since German Shepherds have some fierceness and territorial awareness, they may guard their food. How to deal with food guarding? You can try adding food continuously to the bowl while the dog is eating so the dog understands that you are not interested in its food and will not take it away. However, food guarding is more common in stray dogs.

German Shepherds are very dependent on owners they trust. Being a German Shepherd owner is also very fortunate. If you happen to have a German Shepherd, that is truly wonderful~
