German Shepherd dogs are not easy to train. In order not to make the German Shepherd confused about the family's orders, or to doubt the rules and feel uneasy, the whole family should have a unified opinion. The following are relevant tutorials on training German Shepherds. I hope you can reach a consensus with your family as soon as possible, so that the training can be successful.

German Shepherd Training Tutorial

1. German Shepherd enters "transitional period"

1) At the end of the 2nd week, the German Shepherd baby opens its eyes and enters the 3rd week, the "transition period". Although the eyes are open, the German Shepherd puppy still cannot see. German Shepherd puppies do not have vision until the 17th to 18th day. During this transition period, German Shepherd puppies begin to socialize and lick each other.

2) On the 21st day, the German Shepherd puppies left the kennel. In a German Shepherd kennel one can see all the pack members taking care of the German Shepherd puppies. Adult male German Shepherd dogs can attack German Shepherd puppies very roughly when they leave the litter. In this way, German Shepherd puppies will learn that the world outside the nest is cold and even full of dangers. This rough play will stop as soon as the German Shepherd puppy returns to the litter. This is an important educational method for young children in the life of dogs.

2. German Shepherd enters the "influence period"

From the 4th to the 7th week, German Shepherd puppies enter the "influence period". This period is crucial for the subsequent behavior of the German Shepherd. All the senses of German Shepherd puppies are fully formed during this period, and they can distinguish between their own kind, humans, and external situations. Contact with fellow dogs and humans, especially children, is very important at this stage to influence the German Shepherd's future social behavior. Otherwise, it will become fearful of humans or act aggressively.

3. German Shepherd dogs enter “socialization”

1) Between the 8th and 12th weeks is the "socialization" stage. German Shepherd puppies should be educated to become a socialized member of the human-dog relationship. This requires continuous training. People cannot allow shepherd puppies to behave wildly because of their cuteness. They should require it as much as they do for adult German shepherds. If your German Shepherd puppy is disobedient, you can punish it by discontinuing play and isolating your German Shepherd puppy.

2) It is of course impossible for a 12-week-old German Shepherd puppy to complete any training subjects, and excessive demands should not be placed on German Shepherd puppies. Play is the best way for German Shepherd puppies to learnway. In the case of wild dogs and wolves, a clear hierarchy is established during play during the German Shepherd's early years to avoid future injuries in fights.

4. German Shepherd dogs enter the "dog group order period"

German Shepherd puppies enter the "dog group order period" in the 5th and 6th months, and people can start education and simple training for German Shepherds. During this period, the German Shepherd must spend more time playing and traveling with the German Shepherd. In this way, the learning ability of German Shepherd puppies can be positively affected, the brain structure develops rapidly, the cerebral cortex also increases accordingly, and the learning enthusiasm of German Shepherd puppies is promoted.
