Training German Shepherds is most effective when they are 3-5 months old. Commands should be concise, clear, and consistent. Praise and reward the dog when it performs the command correctly. Be patient and never scold or hit the dog when it makes a mistake.
Methods of training German Shepherds
German Shepherds have the strongest memory between 3 and 5 months of age, so training them at this time will yield the best results. It is better to train a German Shepherd as early as possible.
Simple and consistent commands are more conducive to training. Therefore, when training a German Shepherd, the owner must pay attention to the simplicity and clarity of the commands and maintain consistency, without changing them frequently.
During training, when the German Shepherd completes the command, the owner should reward it promptly by patting its head and praising it as a "good dog." However, if it fails to complete the command, these rewards should be withheld as a form of punishment.
It's normal for German Shepherds to make mistakes when they first start training. Owners must be patient and avoid hitting or scolding them. Training sessions should also be kept short, ideally 10-15 minutes, to prevent the dog from developing resistance.
