Whether you've just brought home your first German Shepherd or you've just finally decided to take your dog to serious training, this article is for you. It's no secret that German Shepherds are intelligent dogs who can learn anything you teach them, but because this breed is smart, they need a solid and firm approach to their training. Don't let your German Shepherd outsmart you; to help you do that, here are 14 tips to get you started!

#1 A puppy is trained from the age of three months.
#2 The clear execution of the command is followed by praise and encouragement.
#3 The command is voiced once, accompanied by a gesture.
#4 The sequence of giving a command and demonstrating with a gesture.
#5 The first time you do it in a familiar place, then you can change the situation.
#6 The presence of a positive attitude from the owner and puppy.
#7 The lesson ends with a command that the puppy performs better than others.
#8 The sequence in teaching commands for each dog and owner is individual.
#9 First of all, the puppy masters the command “Come” and “Drop It”. These commands are simply necessary for a quiet walk.
#10 Encourage the dog with a treat, affection, and approval of the owner.
#11 Important! Cruel physical punishment is strictly prohibited.

#14 The puppy needs to practice a lot.
