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.

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!
