The German Shepherd breed was developed in the 1800's by a guy
named Max Von Stephanitz also widely known as the father of the
German Shepherd breed. While they find itself in many working
capacities, it has distinguished itself among others as being the
first dog to serve as guidance for the blind. Currently, they
reign as one of the most popular dogs in the world.
While being a puppy, the German Shepherd
will need to be immediately socialized and trained for obedience
intregally. Just the same as other dogs, this breed does not
respond very well to harsh or detrimental methods of training.
They have been developed to be he learned and very obedient in
nature. You'll need a firm hand during training along with
fairness, respect, consistency and praise. This breed has been
known to have very good intelligence that helps in various
activities like obedience, tracking, ring sport, sniff searching,
agility and other competitive tasks. Being a popular working dog,
the German Shepherd breed will often find itself involved in
search and rescue, police tasks, guidance for the blind and
military service work.
Like almost any puppy, they will not be
doing many things except for eating, sleeping, and playing around
while being of age anywhere up to 21 days. Also at this age, they
really don't care where they go to the bathroom. However,
immediately following this age they will look for a place to go to
the bathroom that is farther from their regular living quarters.
At this time, the German Shepherd puppy will be ready for learning
other things like using a crate.
These other things might include a little
pre-training including getting your puppy to come when called.
There are two things that you want to do in order to get your dog
to come. In unison, say in a high-pitched voice "come" along with
clapping happily in order to get your puppy's attention and for
him to come to you. Once he arrives, give him plenty of praise.
This exercise is basically a precursor for normal training
sessions.

tenements of thought for training your puppy. These are some
guidelines that will help your whole household consistent with
your puppy in order for him to learn quickly. While using these
guidelines, continually remember that your puppy will always be
learning not just in formal training. Almost every minute of the
day your puppy will be using its brain to learn more about you and
his surroundings.

newly acquired German Shepherd puppy will hold a great deal of
enjoyable pleasure for your puppy and you. At all times you should
