Should German Shepherds be trained to bite?

German Shepherds are excellent working dogs and are often used as police dogs, drug detection dogs, guard dogs, etc. To be qualified for these positions, German Shepherds need to be trained to bite.

How to train a German Shepherd to bite:

1. The German Shepherd’s bite training mainly requires the German Shepherd to be able to bite the designated person according to the command and gesture, and it is required to be active and brave when biting, move quickly and agilely, obey the command, and bite the opponent’s right hand accurately. Passwords used: "Qiu", "Bite", "Release". Gestures used: The right hand points to bite the target.

2. Choose a relatively clean training venue. The assistant trainers will be dressed up in advance, wear protective gear, and hide in appropriate locations in the training venue. Then the handler leads the dog to the training venue, about 20 meters away from the assistant trainer's hiding place, and asks the dog to sit down in the direction where the assistant trainer appears. The trainer takes a half-squatting position, issues the "attention" command to the dog, and points his right hand in the direction of the dog's attention. At this time, the assistant can first make random sounds in the hidden place to arouse the dog's alertness. When the dog becomes alert, hold a cloth bag or a soft tree strip, emerge from the hiding place, and approach the dog with sneaky movements. Choose the distance from the dog according to the dog's courage. If the dog is bold, move closer to it. If you are timid, stay away from the dog and try to arouse the dog's hatred so that the dog dares to bark and pounce. While the assistant trainer is teasing the dog, the handler should hold the dog firmly in place, continuously issue the "attack" command, and encourage the dog to attack the assistant trainer. However, the dog should not be allowed to chase and bite the assistant trainer at this time. The purpose is to make the dog work hard. After the two sides were in a stalemate for a period of time, the assistant trainer began to make concessions as appropriate, fearing defeat, and gradually retreated to the original hiding place. When the assistant trainer retreats, the trainer can lead the dog to chase, and encourage the dog with the command "attack" until the dog can no longer see the assistant trainer, and then take the dog back to the original place. After the dog calms down a little, continue training according to the above method. Through this method, the dog should be highly hostile to the assistant trainer, take the initiative to attack, and be eager to bite the assistant trainer. Such as swooping, barking, gnashing teeth, being tireless, etc.

3. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the dog is resting in the kennel, the assistant trainer disguises himself as a stranger and approaches the dog from far to near with strange and panic movements or makes sounds. Get the dog's attention and tease him five meters outside the kennel. The initial purpose is to arouse the dog's alertness. After several times of teasing, when the dog becomes wary of the trainer or bites,After the performance of the dog, the assistant trainer can start to feint attack on the dog to stimulate the dog's hostility and active defense reaction. This kind of training can be carried out two to three times a day until the dog sees the assistant trainer appearing and can bark, pounce, and attempt to rush out of the kennel to attack.
