Training Your German Shepherd – It Is Essential To Train Your Dog
Filed Under German Shepherd Puppies, House Training Your Dog, Shepherd Breeds | Leave a Comment

German Shepherds are one of the most intelligent dog breeds. Smart dogs can be a challenge, because they should have both mental and physical stimulation. An idle shepherd is bad news for you, and terrible for the dog.
There really is no untrainable dog, unfortunately, there are too many untrained dogs.
You have to know the rules
You also need to figure out:
- understanding the basics of dog training
- how to make training fun
- house training your puppy
-teaching the basics, like sit, stay, come, and of course heel
-and, you need to decide if you want to go out for training classes, can you afford one on one training with a professional, or, you could do the professional home training…

As usual, the most simple game is the most fun…Playing Tag.
Most dogs love to run around you, trying to stay just out of reach…this is a fun game for most dogs. If you have a trained dog (German Shepherd Handbook) he will know the difference between play and “for real”.
And, don’t forget all the other fun stuff. I love doing these with my own dogs:
- swimming
- sharing a sunrise, or a sunset
- going for a nice long walk
All the fun reasons why we own dogs….right?

Long Haired German Shepherds – German Shepherd Info
Filed Under German Shepherd Puppies, Shepherd Breeds | Leave a Comment

A long coated German shepherd can come from two short coated parents. Long coated shepherds do not generally compete in conformation trials, as the AKC does call for short hair.
Many people actually prefer the long coated dogs, (those not interested in showing) and many kennels do actually specialize in breeding them, again for non conformation showing. In strictly obedience trials, of course conformation is not taken into consideration.
At birth, it is difficult to tell which pups have the longer coat, however, at 10 weeks it is usually noticeable. Both parents must carry the long coated gene…

What and How Should You Feed Your German Shepherd
Filed Under Feeding German Shepherd | Leave a Comment

Dogs love love to eat. German Shepherds easily eat 3 to 6 cups of food per day, depending on the quality and calories of the food you feed your dog.
You don’t have to buy gourmet food, but, you can’t just throw your leftovers together and give it to your dog either. You will take your savings and spend it at the vet’s office instead. Please don’t ever think that if you work late, or need to go away for the weekend your dog will be fine. It won’t be, it’s not right to do that. Consistency is necessary for a healthy German Shepherd. Neglecting to feed your dog is cruel, and over feeding is unhealthy. So, it takes thought to own and raise a dog.

German Shepherd – The Breed and The Personality

German Shepherds are highly active dogs, and described in breed standards as self-assured.
The breed is marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. Shepherds have a loyal nature and bond well with people they know. However, they can become over-protective of their family and territory, especially if not socialized correctly.
Find out more about your German Shepherd…German Shepherd Handbook
An aloof personality makes them approachable, but not inclined to become immediate friends with strangers. German Shepherds are highly intelligent and obedient and some people think they require a “firm hand”, but more recent research into training methods has shown they respond as well, if not better to positive, reward based training methods

I was driving through my subdivision the other day, and there was a tiny wee little lady walking a huge German Shepherd. This dog was walking perfectly by her side…no pulling, no yanking, just walking nicely, almost as if “hand in hand”…
You can too you know, you just need to train yourself
and your dog, of course. So, have a wonderful summer with your dog, and start training him now!

Of course we are ready for summer, but, are we ready together with our dog? Do you know about grooming your shepherd? About walking your shepherd?
I see so many people struggling with the German shepherd dog. When I walk my two dogs past them I am so worried “What will happen if she/he falls or loses her grip on the leash? And it has almost happened, the lady fell, but, she barely managed to hold on to the leash long enough for me to disappear with my dogs.
You don’t have to be afraid to walk with your dog. You don’t have to move out of the way of an oncoming dog (unless you don’t trust that dog).
You really can learn to be in total control. And, it doesn’t take forever to learn how to do that. So, give yourself and your dog a break. Make summer a pleasant and happy time for both of you….Learn how to train your dog so it becomes a pleasure to you, your family, your neighbours.
Check out how you can do this right here! (It may take a moment to load…but you will not be disappointed) There is help no matter how good, sweet (but naughty) or even how bad your dog is!

Do You Have A Jumping Shepherd?
Filed Under German Shepherd Obedience -German Shepherd Handbook | Leave a Comment

A lady I know has two dogs, and her dogs are really sweet and good natured dogs. But, one of them has a very bad habit of jumping on people she likes. Of course she is excited at seeing them, and the more she likes someone, the harder it is to settle her down.
Have you ever had this happen to you? I mean, these are such good dogs, and yet one bad behavior can so spoil things, especially in the summer when one is outside a lot.
Try this dog training system… it really does work

Does Your German Shepherd Nip and Playbite?
Filed Under German Shepherd Obedience -German Shepherd Handbook | Leave a Comment

Nipping – the playful biting and mouthing of your hands and clothes by your dog – is particularly common among puppies, but can also occur in older dogs that haven’t been taught proper bite inhibition. It’s natural for dogs to mouth and nip. They explore the world using their mouths – to a dog, his mouth is as important as eyes and hands are to us. Nipping is very different from true aggression: it’s a form of communication, interaction, exploration, and play. From birth, pups use their mouths to explore the den, their mother, and their littermates.
German Shepherd Obedience Training
From a few weeks old, they use their mouths to play with their siblings: puppies play by biting and mouthing each other. Some adult dogs – usually, those with owners who encourage rough play, or who were removed from the litter at too early an age – retain these same tendencies to nip during play and in moments of emotional duress. Sibling play is actually how young pups learn a very important lesson, called bite inhibition. If a puppy bites another puppy too hard, the other pup yelps loudly in pain and stops playing with him. This teaches the biter that such a degree of bite force results in an undesirable outcome: social isolation.

Training Your Shepherd Using The Positive Reinforcement Method
Filed Under German Shepherd Obedience -German Shepherd Handbook | Leave a Comment
Successful training for your dog: the Positive Reinforcement Method
It’s widely accepted among the vast majority of dog training experts that the most effective and humane way to train your dog is through a process called positive reinforcement training. This is a fancy phrase for what’s essentially a very simple theory: using positive reinforcement entails rewarding the behavior that you wish to see repeated, and ignoring the behavior that you don’t. This method is in direct contrast to some of the now-outdated but once-popular techniques for dog training, some of which were frankly abhorrent: physical pain and intimidation (such as hanging an aggressive dog up by her collar), or inhumane methods of aversion therapy (such as shock collars for barking).
If you have a disobedient dog that causes you
stress or embarrassment
then you’ve come to the absolute best
place for finding out
how to communicate with and train your dog.
