When you are starting up with training German Shepherds you must be aware that German Shepherd Training require a competent and experienced handler.  German Shepherds are one of the most intelligent, loyal and loving breeds around but they are a demanding dog that need a lot of exercise to be a happy dog, if they do not get enough exercise at least an hour a day of heavy exercise, they will find something else to do, like finding something to chew on, and they have really a great set of teeth' s so, if you can't give him enough exercise you better give him something to chew on, or he will find something that he thinks is a chewable object if he is bored. A German shepherd is a great family dog he binds very close to a family and really is the best family dog you can get, he is very protective and will tell you when someone you do not know is approaching your house.

Now about GSD Training there are a lot of training methods out there, i have tried a few clicker training which is one of them, this is a great way to train your dog but it requires consistency in  what you do, you have to do the same thing over and over again and it can take some time before you see results from it. Leash training when leash training you have to tell the dog who is the boss, if you let him decide what to do he will pull you along, because you have not told him who is the boss so he thinks that he is, and will pull you along. The right way to tell your German Shepherd who is the boss is not screaming and/or being angry , then he will only only pull even more because if you get angry he can literally smell it, and will because of that become skeptic to your behavior and probably think , why is he so angry i'll better go away from him till he cams down.

The German shepherd is a very intelligent dog and understands your feelings long before that you do, he has an excellent nose for trouble, and anger and hostile actions will make him run away faster than you can say "Holy Shit". The right way to leash train your dog is to take it easy and if he pulls the leash stop and stand still and give him something when he comes back to you a treat or attention. Unfortunately in the stressed up society we have today taking a walk with the dog can become a stressful task, when you still are occupied with that you soon must go to work or other stuff that you should have done, the german shepherd can feel and smell if you are not up to your best and will act accordingly, because of that he reckons you as he's flock and he in the wild is totally dependent the flock.

So you are he's flock and think of what this mean try to always be gentle and kind to him and treat him with respect and kindness. However you have to show him who is the decider, you should never allow him to lay in your furniture sofa or so on, i have found that with the German Shepherd i had, that he preferred to stay on the floor and did not want to go up in the sofa,  i don't know if this is a common treat of shepherds, but my dog did not like the sofa, and kept himself on the floor. This is something of what i have experienced with my six years with a German Shepherd, if you want to get really into what German shepherd training tips that is the best and what you can learn your German Shepherd, you should consider checking out this program: Click Here .
