Instruction
1. Begin to bring up a German shepherd from yourself. From you the discipline, firmness and endurance and also uncompromising adherence to principles will be required. You have to approve once and for all the authority for a puppy. Besides, any ease will lead to the fact that you will lose everything what could achieve. You treat the dog as to a reasonable being who as well as we can be happy and upset. The patience and reasonable severity in a combination to the competent embodiment of the basic rules of education - only such policy will result you in success.
2. Bring up the German sheep-dog from the first days of its emergence in the house, especially if you bought a puppy. Do not postpone a training, accustom yourself and the members of household to systematic lessons. Begin with establishment of a strict daily routine – fix time of feeding of a puppy, allocate certain hours for walks. The mode – an integral part of education of a German shepherd therefore do not neglect this rule.
3. Define her place for a dog. Think over where it will be because it is extremely undesirable to change it in the future. Combine this step with the first training: touch a mattress or what will be serves as a laying and pronounce the word ""Place!"". Bring a puppy there and praise. You remember - threats and shouts you will achieve nothing. To bring up a German shepherd, but not to grow up aggressive and intimidated, and therefore a potential dangerous dog, it is necessary to be patient, persistent, but at the same time quiet and benevolent. You the leader, the leader of pack, so from you is required to be fair.
4. Formulate the teams most uniformly. Dogs are sensitive to words which we pronounce, to their sounding, but not to sense. ""To Lie"", ""lay down"", ""yes lay down you already"" - all this different sound signals. Develop one which has to become team for your pet. It belongs to any action which performance you demand from a dog.
5. You enter teams gradually. Do not try to bring up a German shepherd through training her in all teams at once. Such method is inefficient and can worsen your relations with a puppy. Begin with the simplest and most necessary requirements – teach a German shepherd to take on command the place, to return to you. The team ""to me"" – one of the most important elements of education of a German shepherd, it has to fulfill this requirement strictly. One more ""alphabetical"" team – the termination of undesirable action. Most often it is coded the word ""faugh"".
6. You pass to the teams ""lie"", ""stand"", ""sit"" and also ""aport"" only after make sure that the previous signals are strongly acquired by a dog. Before achievement a puppy of six-month-old age the best training is a game. Pay attention that during this period the puppy is still extremely restless and first there will not be able to be in a desirable pose a long time. It is impossible to abuse for it at all. From you it is required to help it to become more patient and to learn to keep a standard position, the following command will not arrive yet.
7. Bring up a German shepherd according to her natural qualities. Guard dogs have to seize a big set of teams, than room. And surely find an opportunity to allow a dog to practise with various objects – barriers, hills, tires. Dog platforms serve best of all for such purposes. In case of impossibility to get to such place, make the necessary objects independently.
