If you're a new German Shepherd owner or you've finally decided to train your dog, then this article is for you! German Shepherds are intelligent dogs who could learn anything that you teach them, but because of this, they could easily outsmart their owners. So, in this article, we're going to share with you some tips on how to train your German Shepherd.
Hopefully, you'll have a well-rounded and obedient dog after following these easy tips.
#2 If you are going to have a great relationship with your German Shepherd, you need to train him properly. 
#3 If you are going to take on the training responsibilities rather than hiring a professional, teach Him the 5 most important words. 
#4 When your German Shepherd will know these 5 words: Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Heel. Once you get through the 5 basic commands and he understands them well, you will have a well-behaved dog with whom you have bonded with. 
#5 It is not a good idea to give your German Shepard a treat when you are teaching him commands. 
#6 The one command where he can have a treat is when you are teaching him to stay. 
#7 When you praise your dog, not only will he want to learn more, it will also help you bond with him. Most professional trainers will tell you that giving your dog praise will actually help him learn faster. 
#8 Make sure you have his full attention during training sessions. 
#9 They are naturally strong and muscular, sturdy, and elongated. 
#10 A good place to do your training is in your yard. This is a place where the smells and the surroundings are familiar, therefore, he won’t feel the need to explore. 
#11 If you try training your dog at the park, you will have no control over distractions. Children, other dogs, and even unfamiliar smells can make him lose his focus, which would make his training session useless. 
#12 They are one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs, which is what makes them so desirable in the human community. 
#13 Despite their large appearance and their intimidating face, these are dogs that have a very calm temperament. 
#14 These intelligent dogs were trained for many years as police dogs and military dogs, and that practice continued all over the world and did not remain something unique to Germans.
