German Shepherd Obedience Training

An excerpt from Dr Jane Bicks…HealthyPetNewsletter

Many of us agree that we should do everything within our power to make sure that our companion animals enjoy the best possible life. But did you know that simply by playing a role in your life, your furry kids could actually help you to be not only happier but healthier?

Of course you did. It’s all part of the privilege and fun of being a pet parent. What you may not know is that there’s plenty of science to back it up. As a holistic veterinarian, I’ve read so many reports regarding the health benefits associated with having companion animals, which has been accumulated over the last two decades, including numerous research studies in the U.S. and across the globe.

A study published in The British Journal of Health Psychology reports that people who have companion animals tended to be healthier than those who did not. Additionally, when a dog was part of the family, the human family members had fewer minor ailments, lower blood pressures and lower cholesterol levels. Although the explanation for these advantages is unclear, these researchers guessed that all benefits might be accounted for by reduced stress levels. In these cases, lower stress levels might have been due to increased physical activity (like walking the dog) and levels of social interaction (hanging out with other pet-friendly folks).

“This Information-Packed Book Will Be Your Complete ‘Bible’ To Choosing, Understanding, Training & Caring For Your German Shepherd – You’ll Learn How To Get That ‘Best Friend’ Relationship With Your German Shepherd, That Most Dog Owners Can Only Dream Of Having”

The German Shepherd breed was developed over 100 years ago, as the name suggests, for herding sheep. That activity is less common in the world today, but the basic skills are still much in demand.

GSDs, as they’re sometimes known, will patrol a border for hours, keeping strangers at bay and protecting those within. Seeing some dogs roam back and forth along a fence would suggest a mental problem, or at least a high level of frustration. But German Shepherds enjoy routine, never tire of doing their jobs and thrive when they have a role that keeps them active.

What a beautiful animal!

If you have a German Shepherd,  if you received a puppy for Christmas, either way, this German Shepherd Handbook can benefit you tremendously.

Socialization involves getting your dog familiar and comfortable with other dogs, pets and people in their environment. As natural pack animals it’s often easy to do, and sometimes even harder to keep them from interacting at inappropriate times. For the sake of having a balanced dog, you really do need to socialize!

Most dogs benefit from socialization. The people around them do too. But German Shepherds and a few other breeds are special cases. They’re often asked to perform special roles, such as police or guard dog, guide dog and other jobs. That means that socialization, while still useful, needs to be carried out much more carefully.

Check out the German SHepherd Handbook today!! It’s the manual specific for …the German Shepherd.

Most dogs will display a tendency to jump on people at times. How often will vary with breed and by individual. One theory suggests that dogs are trying to get close to the person’s face – not to attack, but to interact. Other dogs, especially of the same breed, have faces close to their level and the dog will use its nose and eyes to explore.

German Shepherds require only modest grooming effort. They have a double layered coat, with the outer layer composed of medium-length, coarse hair and an undercoat that is soft and dense. The outer section provides protection against bushes and ground while the inner layer keeps the dog warm and protected from sunlight.

If you own, or if you want to own a German Shepherd you really must at minimum teach your dog the 5 basic rules/commands.  The main object of basic German Shepherd obedience training is in getting your dog or puppy to understand and obey the 5 basic dog obedience training commands.  These commands are Sit, Stay, Heel, Come, and Down.

Think about it, we can tell and actually explain to kids what we want.  But, we can’t tell and explain anything to a dog.  So, we have to learn HOW to teach our dogs what we want from them.

And, absolutely we have to teach them the 5 basic commands.  It’s not that hard to do.  It takes a little time, effort,consistency,patience,persistence…and The German Shepherd Handbook!


German Shepherds are often said to be intelligent, loyal and hard working. And that’s all true. But they’re often believed to be that way on the basis of temperament, which some claim is all inbred. That’s where the controversy begins.

For more insight into your German shepherd, come and take a look at the German Shepherd Handbook

It’s undoubtedly true that certain features of a dog’s personality, as with humans, derives from genetics. But, as with humans, where to draw the line between nature and nurture is a difficult task.

When you see a behavior repeated across generations, it’s a sign that something genetic is at work. That behavior is frequently (at least partly) the result of an inborn temperament. But characteristics like intelligence are notoriously difficult to measure objectively. Attributes like ‘loyal’ are difficult to define at all.

This is so important with German Shepherds…Check out the German Shepherd Handbook. What is Schutzhund?


Being descendants of pack animals, dogs have needed to find a way to determine leadership within their packs. You have probably seen many examples of pack behavior watching TV.The pack’s have ways of teaching the new members just where they belong in the order, and this keeps things on an even keel, and reduces problems among the pack members.

I watched an amazing show today with Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, and 2 german shepherds, sisters.

It was one of the best show I have seen.  He covered issues like pack leader, calm, assertive, socializing etc etc.

Amazing!  Anyways, if you own such a beautiful animal as a Shepherd, you need to do dog training.  And, you should watch The Dog Whisperer, on National Geographic.

Be assertive, calm, and be a pack leader.  Dogs, unlike humans, can switch around almost instantly.
