German Shepherds, also called German Wolf Dogs, originate from Germany. These dogs look very tall and mighty. Their working ability is extremely strong, and they are often active in various roles such as police dogs, rescue dogs, and guide dogs. Their bodies are very sturdy, with especially developed muscles and strong bones. They look very calm and appear elegant and noble. Their intelligence is particularly high, ranking in the top three among all dogs. At the same time, their personality is also very gentle, with high obedience and great loyalty to their owners. They are also the choice of many people as pet dogs nowadays. So how should we train them?

Here, we can train dogs differently according to their growth stages or cycles. For example, training during the growth period or transition period is different. Next, I will introduce how to train dogs at different stages.

From one to two weeks after the dog is born, during this time the dog’s various senses have not fully developed, so we only need to place them aside and let them crawl slowly; generally, there is no need to manage them much.

During the transition period, dogs start to open their eyes slowly. At this time, their senses have developed and they can have some social activities. Training can begin at this stage. When dogs attempt to leave the nest, you can use a somewhat rough method to pull them back, because the outside world is dangerous, and they should recognize this.

When the dog is from four to seven weeks old, you can simply train their behavior habits, teaching them to urinate and defecate at regular times and places. When the dog reaches eight weeks, this period belongs to the socialization phase. During this time, persistent training can be taught. You can teach them how to sit, stand, and obey commands. However, we need enough patience to teach them.
