How to train a German Shepherd to track? Put food in front of the German Shepherd's nose and let it sniff. When you see the dog's nostrils move, praise the dog and take away the food. Place the food a few meters away where the dog can see it, let the dog go up to find the food, and praise it if it does so. Then, by placing the biscuits further and further away, you can train your dog to find biscuits out of sight.

1. Start with a piece of biscuit or a piece of dog food, let the dog sit down, put the food in front of the dog's nose, and let the dog sniff it. If the dog tries to eat the food, tell the dog not to do this and quickly move your hand away. Start over and tell the dog to sniff. When you see the dog's nostrils moving, praise the dog and remove the food. Place food several meters away. Still within the dog's sight, tell the dog: Go find the food. This command tells the dog to stop sitting and lie down, but to go up and look for food. Swallow it in one gulp. If you do this, the owner will praise the dog very enthusiastically. Repeat this game until the dog obeys the command and stops acting without permission.

2. Slowly, place the biscuits farther and farther away. Now the dog is involved in the play and is very involved. If the dog finds the biscuits, not only will he have something to eat, but he will also be praised. Next, you can train your dog to find biscuits out of sight. Let the dog be seen entering another room with the cookie. And put the cookies in a conspicuous place on the floor. This way the dog can find the cookie without any effort. With this method, the dog can succeed every time and gradually find the confidence to find things. The training process must ensure that the dog obeys the command. In other words, the dog cannot eat food while sniffing. Nor can they leave without the master's order.

3. Step by step, from simple to complex: When training a dog to complete a certain action, you must follow this principle and do not rush forward impatiently. Each complete movement cannot be completed at once. It must be carried out step by step, from simple to complex, through a gradually complex training process, and the movement is finalized from each single conditioned reflex combination
