German Shepherd Training: How to Avoid Behavior Problems

By Patrick Hayes


Are you weary of always having to confine your furry pet when visitors come over? Do you have problems leaving your canine companion alone, even for a quick run to the store? Certainly, there are things that you can do to help get your four-legged pet become obedient. The following tips are helpful to get positive result from German Shepherd training.

If you want to keep your canine pet from the couch or bed you will need to create a negative reinforcement when he decides to hop on the furniture. Once he jumps on the restricted furniture, give a sharp, "No!". Gently, but firmly lead your furry companion off of the furniture. If your four-legged friend chooses to sit at your feet rather than jumping up on the sofa, reward him with lots of praise.

Dogs with separation anxiety will benefit from affection from places aside from their favorite person. To paraphrase, their favorite person must reduce attention. You need to only greet the pooch when she is calm and quiet. Furthermore, you need to get your four-legged companion familiar with you going out. To do this, begin going out of the house and go back after a short while. Reward your four-legged companion with praise or treat when he remains quiet and relaxed. Gradually increase the time of you being outside. This can help your furry friend find out that you will always go back home whenever you step out of the door. Other members of the family must take her out and assist with German Shepherd training sessions so she creates a relationship and feel comfortable with others too.

To end your furry pet from biting, you should express pain every time he bits you and then disregard your furry pet for a few minutes. When yourfour-legged friend bites you softly, reward him by responding to their nipping and playing with your dog. When practiced constantly, yourfour-legged friend will eventually understand the distinction between biting and soft nipping.

Never reprimand your dog for coming when called. A great recall command is essential, not just for obedience, but for your dog's safety too. It may look apparent that calling your furry friend to you for punishment is bad, however when you're upset at a dog who has darted out of the yard or will not come for a bath, you can easily forget. By keeping their "come" command associated with positive experiences, you can be assured that next time they get away from you, they'll dependably return when called.
