Many people will be a little scared after seeing a German Shepherd, and many people call it a "wolf dog". In fact, German Shepherds are not as scary as we think. A well-trained German Shepherd is very lovable. They are loyal, obedient, highly alert, and not easily bribed. German Shepherds have a high IQ, so they are relatively easy to train. Let’s talk about the precautions for training German Shepherds.

German Shepherd

1. Puppies should be trained starting from 70 days after birth, and adult dogs should be trained immediately.

2. When teaching new things, it should be done in a quiet and safe place that the dog is familiar with; when reviewing things that have been understood, do it in a slightly distracting place; when reviewing things that have been fully mastered, do it in a more distracting place. carried out locally. In this way, the dog's attention is gradually trained to focus on the owner.

3. Training for a short time every day is more effective. For example, compared with once a day for 20 minutes, twice a day for 5-10 minutes each time is more effective and can keep the dog fresh.

4. Don’t overdose. For example, when training "sit", the dog can complete it well after a few times (or it can be completed occasionally). You should give it some encouragement. This is much better than training 10 times in a row and failing in the end.

5. It is difficult to concentrate the dog's attention during the first training. At this time, you need to be patient and never act too hastily.

6. It is the best way to reward the dog immediately after completing the task as required, such as feeding some meat. If the dog cannot feel that the training is happy, then the expected training purpose cannot be achieved.

7. To stop a dog from "doing bad things", you must seize the opportunity. The time to correct is not after the dog has finished doing it, but at the moment when it is about to do it, stop it with a decisive and powerful command.

8. Repeated training can deepen the dog’s memory. Training too quickly can cause your dog to become defensive and run away. Therefore, dogs should not be required to learn it in one day, but should be reviewed day after day.

9. Corporal punishment can only be used when a dog wants to bite someone. Large dogs need to be trained. Depending on the dog's personality, some may require violent methods. In addition, if the use of iron rings or collars with nails for training has no effect, you should consult a veterinarian or expert in time.

10. The shortcut to obedience training is practice, persistence, patience, hard work, rewards, etc. In addition, it is also a good way to exercise with dogs.
