How to Train a German Shepherd? The German Shepherd, commonly known as the German black-backed dog, is what people often call the German wolfhound. The German Shepherd is agile in movement, tall in stature, and majestic in appearance, making people feel intimidated and reluctant to approach. German Shepherds are very obedient to their owners, so we often see that German Shepherds are generally used as working dogs such as military dogs and police dogs. So how should we correctly raise a German Shepherd?
How to Train a German Shepherd? The Best Time Should Be in Its Puppyhood.
Training Methods for German Shepherds:
First of all, the best time to train a German Shepherd should be when it is a puppy. The owner can start training the German Shepherd puppy while it is playing. The training content can start from living habits and attitudes, and then gradually transition to training in abilities and skills as the dog grows older.
In the training of puppies, parents can use auxiliary tools such as a ball, a cloth, a stick, a leash, etc. for training. For example, ball training can not only awaken the hunting nature of the German Shepherd but also enable it to get physical exercise and gradually become more flexible. At the same time, at this time, parents can train German Shepherd dogs to develop the habit of eating, sleeping, and defecating at fixed points, saving the owner more troubles and annoyances.
In the training process, in the initial stage, parents may need to adopt some compulsory or mechanical training methods. Because in the initial stage of training, German Shepherd dogs cannot fully understand the owner's instructions and meanings. This requires the owner to teach the German Shepherd dog to complete the training content by hand. Then, through continuous repetitive training, strengthen the memory of the German Shepherd dog and make it form a conditioned reflex and always master the training content.
Moreover, in the training process, attention should also be paid to rewards and punishments.
Feeding Methods for German Shepherds:
Nutrition is a substance necessary for life activities such as the growth and development of German Shepherds. It mainly refers to proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc.
Feed is divided into animal feed, plant feed, seasonings, additives, and commercial feed. Animal feed is the staple food for dogs. Such as commonly used beef, milk, eggs, fish, internal organs of livestock and poultry, etc. Beef is the best among meats. Plant feed is mainly rice, such as rice, millet, wheat, sorghum rice, corn, etc. In addition, there are green vegetables such as spinach and cabbage. Seasonings are mainly salt, but excessive salt can cause sensitivity and poisoning in dogs. Additives include minerals, vitamins, trace elements, etc. Commercial feed refers to a series of pellet feed for dogs.
What to Feed German Shepherds:
Canned food. Juicy and soft canned food with different flavors and chewiness can promote the dog's appetite. However, it contains high protein. Usually, when mixed with dry dog food, the intake of calories and carbohydrates will increase. Moreover, it loses its freshness after being opened for a period of time.
Dried meat cake. Crispy dried meat cake added to canned food not only has chewiness but also increases fiber and fat and strengthens the movement of the palate.
Dry dog food. Completely dry dog food has balanced nutrition and is conducive to large-scale storage. Because it contains four times the calories of canned food, pay attention not to give too much when feeding.
