You have a pet, and with him the question immediately arose: how to raise a puppy of a German shepherd? Education of a puppy is, first of all, its correct content and training in personal hygiene. By the age of six months the puppy of a German shepherd must know his nickname, carry out such commands as "To me", "Nearby", "Sitting", "Aport". Teach a puppy to these teams must necessarily in the form of a game, not using violence or punishment. For every command your pet performed correctly, it should be praised and given a treat. The teams themselves must be given in strict form, for example: "Lie down", not "Lie down". Only then will the puppy gradually start to perform them correctly.
Raising a German Shepherd puppy
The owner of the German Shepherd puppy should be patient, since upbringing and training is a troublesome business. In the understanding of the puppy, your family is a pack, the leader of which is the owner of the family. And the owner chooses the owner himself. Most often they are the one from the family who is most engaged with the puppy.
If you want a puppy to grow self-confident, then let him out of every game comes out victorious. If it should be punished, then do it right after the misconduct. You should not scold the kid for a puddle in the corridor, which he did when you were not at home. Sometimes the host starts to set the puppy on someone else's, trying to specifically call in a little dog anger. This can not be done, because, becoming an adult, such a puppy will be excessively aggressive and even uncontrollable.
While training a German shepherd puppy, do not give him frequent and monotonous commands: from this he will quickly get tired and lose all interest in learning. When, at the end of the walk, the puppy does not want to go home and ignores the command "To me", it's best to distract him with something, playing a little more, and then really go home.
Do not forget that the shepherd is still a guard dog , so you should bring up protective qualities in it, causing distrustful attitude towards strangers. The stranger should not be allowed to caress your puppy, tease and give him various goodies. When an alien enters or enters an apartment, hold the puppy in place. When the stranger passes, praise your pet with the "Good" command. In this way, you will educate the dog about the alien people who appear in your house, and in your absence, she will neither allow nor release an outsider.
After your pet is strong enough physically and psychologically, you can start to train a German shepherd puppy at the general rate of training. The difference between raising a puppy and training it is that the puppy is brought up without coercion, but training provides for unconditional fulfillment by the dog of all commands of the owner. Between the owner of the animal and the dog there must be good contact and absolute mutual understanding. Only then will a well-bred dog grow out of a puppy, who obeys his master not because he has a stick in his hands, but because she respects him. And you can achieve this under one condition: all the commands you give must be clear to the puppy.
One of the problems in raising a dog is that the German Shepherd puppy bites.
When the puppy turns four months old, you can go with him to the courses of educational training. And from 10-12 months you can start to train the dog at the general rate of training. In the classroom, experienced instructors will help you grow a reliable shepherd and a loyal friend from a German shepherd puppy.
