German Shepherd Dogs

Search by designated route:

This is the first step in defense training. If you don’t know much about the dog in advance, be sure to check the dog’s ear number carefully before training to see if the dog has been registered and whether there is a formal breeding record. In addition, it is best to observe the dog's mental state from a distance to judge whether the dog's psychology is stable. The trainer can usually loosen the leash and approach the dog naturally, and if the dog is not shy or aggressive, then training can be done. If the dog is overly recognizable, avoids or has a strong tendency to attack, it means that the dog has a problem with the mental state or the character (temperament) is not ideal, and does not have the basis for training.

Determining a German Shepherd's walking route is as simple as walking a distance on an ordinary piece of land or grass. But the person has to set up a certain number of turns and some special small objects on the road, the latter usually can use some kind of credit card-like cards, of course, these cards must be placed on the road by the person himself. Once set up, the trainer can guide the dog on the road. The trainer can use a 10-meter leash to lead the dog, and try to release the leash as much as possible. Let the dog identify the path by sniffing the smell of the former's footprints, and at the same time let the dog recognize the small objects set in advance. The method of identification is usually to let the dog lie down first, put the small object between the dog's two paws, and let the dog remember and then officially walk. The focus of this kind of training to let the dog walk on the designated line is to test the dog's ability to receive training, the ability to smell, as well as the dog's psychological quality and physical endurance.

Of course, all of this obedience training is a test of the dog's character (temperament), body structure effectiveness, and desire to work.
