The feeding method for this kind of wolf dog should be different from other dogs. For adult wolf dogs, one meal a day is enough, and they cannot eat small amounts and frequent meals like other dogs. Feeding should be done at a fixed time every day, and avoid feeding before intense training. If you perform training such as scent tracking after a full meal, it will not show a high degree of excitement, making the training less effective.

The feeding time is best in the evening, so that it does not affect the training, and you can use this time to let it defecate to keep the kennel clean and hygienic. For those overweight adult wolf dogs, it is best to feed them every morning, so that they can lose weight through intense training activities during the day. Pay attention to the nutritional intake during feeding. In the feed, fish or meat with high protein content should be included. Food should account for half of the portion, and the other half should be vegetarian food, vegetables, and other foods rich in minerals and vitamins. This kind of dog is very interested in animal bones, so you might as well provide some. The advantage is that it can not only arouse the dog's appetite, but also promote the consolidation of canine teeth. It can also promote the dog's saliva secretion and help its digestion.

Pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the food. The food must be fresh. Do not save leftover food for next time. Drinking water must be clean and provided 2-3 times a day. The trough and basin need to be cleaned every day, especially in hot summer.

Also keep the dog's body clean and hygienic. Use a comb or brush to comb the dog's coat frequently. Before combing the dog's coat with a comb, it is best to rub the dog's coat with your hands repeatedly for a while, which helps the dog's blood circulation and is good for the dog's hair. Coat metabolism is beneficial. After rubbing, use a comb to remove the hair that needs to be removed. Finally, use velvet or suede to wipe along the direction of the coat to make the coat smooth and shiny. Every once in a while, the dog should be bathed, especially in hot summer, every 3-5 days should be bathed to remove dust and dirt on the body, so as to keep the dog's body clean and hygienic and prevent the breeding of parasites. The water temperature for bathing should not be too high, usually around 30-35 degrees Celsius. Every 3-5 days, the dog’s earwax, tartar and eye wax should also be removed. Wash your dog's eyes with 2% boric acid water every 1-2 weeks to ensure that it does not suffer from eye diseases. The dog's claws should also be trimmed every few days. If they are too long, it will affect walking.

First, let’s talk about the requirements for dog trainers. He must be loving and patient towards the dog, understand the dog's behavior and language, and most importantly, he must adhere to principles. Dogs are not machines, they are living, independent, and sometimes stubborn animals. Each dog of the same breed, or even the same litter, is an independent individual, which requires dog owners to understand and adapt to them.

A well-trained dog has the following characteristics: Not indoors and anywhereDefecate and defecate; behave well indoors, in the yard and on the street; run with the owner when riding a bicycle; defend the owner or belongings when necessary. Many dog ​​owners have this idea: They want their dog to know what to do on a leash or off leash. Such thinking is wrong. The training methods for dogs are different from the training methods for sports dogs. There are also hierarchies in the dog world. Dogs with lower ratings tend to feel more comfortable being on a leash because they experience a sense of safety and protection through the leash.

Notes

Although German Shepherds are ferocious, as long as they or their owners are not attacked, they will not take the initiative to attack no matter how dangerous the situation is, especially the weaker ones. This character is exactly the opposite of some small dog breeds that appear gentle on the outside.

Confident but not arrogant is the greatest advantage of the German Shepherd Dog. They have unparalleled courage and courage and can cope with any dangerous incident, which is absolutely impossible to achieve without a high degree of self-confidence.
