In order to effectively train German Shepherd dogs. We often give German Shepherds reward methods, clear punishment methods and induction methods. The editor will briefly introduce them to you below.

German Shepherd

Rewards Rewards, encouragement, and praise are necessary means in positive education. It is also the favorite training method for German Shepherds. Through incentives, the correct actions of the German Shepherd can be strengthened, the developed abilities can be consolidated, and the nervous activity state of the German Shepherd can be adjusted. Generally speaking, it is best to use as little food encouragement as possible, because giving German Shepherds frequent rewards can easily lead to greedy and food-stealing problems. You can use verbal praise or touch the back of the ears, the nape of the neck, the top of the head or the bottom of the neck. The effect of this kind of spiritual reward is actually no worse than the effect of material reward.

Clear punishment with rewards and punishments can make the German Shepherd understand what is liked and needed during the training process, and what is not desirable. It is an effective means to stop the bad behavior of the German Shepherd. When using this method, the trainer must have a serious attitude and a high-pitched and sharp tone. Severe punishments include pointing and scolding the German Shepherd, throwing stones and books at the German Shepherd, and beating with whips and sticks. Of course, they are not beating with real swords and guns. The main purpose is to give the German Shepherd Using a threatening posture and stimulating its nerves, it will make it remember this lesson and never do it again. It should be noted here that we do not advocate real violent corporal punishment or abnormal mental abuse.

Induction: Holding a piece of straw in front of a donkey is induction, which can also be called guidance. Induction refers to the use of delicious food, objects, trainer's actions, etc. to induce the German Shepherd to perform certain actions, thereby establishing a conditioned reflex. For example, to train a German Shepherd to correctly grasp the command "come", the trainer can tease the German Shepherd with a piece of meat in front of him, and the dog will definitely "come" obediently. At this time, Yuwan cannot reward the German Shepherd with meat. Dog, then it will misunderstand your "come" as "eat". If you repeat this many times, the German Shepherd will understand that the so-called "coming" is a process of walking to the owner from far to near. No meat is needed, and after a few more trainings, your dog will definitely be able to understand your "come" command accurately.
