Training is a vital part of dog ownership that should be given enough attention. It should not be overlooked because it's through training that a dog discovers how to behave in ways regarded as desirable by his owners. There are several tricks, lessons and commands a dog has to learn during German Shepherd training. If you are wondering what these commands are and how you can get your pet dog to learn them, here are a few ideas you may want to take into consideration.
Train your dog the "down" command. This command is helpful to build upon, or alone in emergency circumstances. A dog that knows his "down" command well can decline to the ground at a moment's notice in a testy situation, making it an incredible command to keep available for safety reasons. To teach your pet dog the command, have him in sit position and hold a treat right in front of his nose. Once his attention is focused on you, slowly lower your hand (the one holding the treat) while you move it in your direction. Needless to say, your furry friend will follow your hand in an attempt to have the treat. Give the command "down" the moment his belly touches the ground. Reward him with the treat for carrying out a good job.
One more obedience command to train your pet during German Shepherd training is "drop it". You never know when that command will come in handy. Be generous with praise and treats as you are working with this command and continue to practice it from time to time even after your dog has perfected it. A word to the dog sure beats having to wrestle unsavory objects out of a dog's mouth.
Teach your pup the "Leave it!" command. This command is extremely important in day-to-day situations. Use it if your dog tries to get food off a table or eat rabbit poop when you're out for a walk. To get the dog to carry out your command, have a treat in your hand (have one in the other hand, also). Hold your hand open, and when he goes for the treat, close your hand as you say the command "Leave it!" Then offer him the other treat and dispose the one you told him to leave. Repeat this step several times and he'll learn to "Leave it!" whenever you tell him to.
German Shepherd training may appear difficult but as long as you have patience, diligence and can tolerate repetition, for sure it is not impossible to achieve success.
