Why Train Your Puppy?
So you have or plan to get a new German Shepherd Puppy? No doubt you have prepared in some ways for when he or she comes home, the kids are ready to play, you have somewhere for your German Shepherd Puppy to eat and somewhere they can sleep. So what else is there to think of? What about training?
While your German Shepherd Puppy is little cute and cuddly they can do almost no wrong (except for the chewing of the kids homework and the accidental little puddles), but as they grow, any bad habits your German Shepherd Puppy acquires during this period will remain. This puts you in a difficult position when your German Shepherd is fully-grown and all of a sudden, goes off and does something you would rather he or she didn’t.
Training Your Puppy
There are five key techniques that your German Shepherd Puppy will learn in obedience training or German Shepherd Puppy school, they are:
Biting – Your little German Shepherd pup may currently affectionately nibble at your fingers. Cute, right? Well as a German Shepherd, it may not be, biting is a serious issue for German Shepherds and could have terrible consequences if the German Shepherd bites someone else. Training will ensure that your German Shepherd Puppy knows that this behaviour is not acceptable.

Barking – Like biting, little yaps now are sweet, but a German Shepherd barking all day and night is likely not only to cause you headaches, but your neighbours as well.
Walking – Your strength places you at an advantage while your pet is small, but it could quite quickly become a problem as he or she gets older and stronger. Imagine if your kids are not able to ever walk the German Shepherd without you there to help? Obedience training will ensure you walk the German Shepherd and not have the German Shepherd walk you.
Understanding – People may think commands for German Shepherds are not necessary, but really it is a way you and your German Shepherd can communicate. Basic instructions like sit and stay can also be vitally important. Imagine if your German Shepherd gets off his lead while walking? It would be nice to know you could call them back to you without risking the safety of your German Shepherd or of anyone else.
Security – Dogs are a little like children, they need to know they are secure and loved, but they also need to know you are boss and it is their job to listen to you. Security comes through having clear leadership, rules and boundaries.
Training your German Shepherd Puppy at an early age in a German Shepherd obedience training school will provide you with all of these skills and more. They are the skills to ensure your new pet will not only integrate well at home but ensure you can also be confident when he or she is around other people, especially children.
With these skills mastered you will have not only a well-behaved German Shepherd, but also one that will most likely be happier.
Training at Home
Training doesn’t end with the last lesson. The valuable skills your German Shepherd has learnt in obedience school will need to be reinforced at home. Think of German Shepherd Puppy training as German Shepherd Puppy and owner training, as it is as much for you as it is for your German Shepherd Puppy. Take the family and get fully involved, so when you get home, everyone in your household knows just how to issue commands.
It will take time, but try to always remain calm and consistent while training or issuing a command. Whenever you are going to use a command, say it clearly without additional words and when your German Shepherd responds in the way they should, ensure that you give them a reward, even if it is just an affectionate scratch behind the ear.

Dobermanns are toooooo CUTE!
Im a really girly girl, but I really like those “tougher” dogs, and so with the size. Don’t want a freaking chiuhauha?! 
my dog is younger than yours & is better trained…dobermans are super SMART
theres a dog website called natural-dog-health-remediesDotom/dog-bloat.html that tells about cheese and other itssue. I lost my dobie about 2 weeks ago. A. i overfed her b. I used a raised bowl which is a no no and C. i gave her cheese treats.. I dont know if I killed my dog but seems I helped it along
@ljkyekennels ok i kindly disagree. but thats ok. hope nothing happens
dont give cheese to dobermans. It can cause bloat.. especially in older dogs. do a search on bloat. I lost my girl last week to it. cheese a NO NO>
I use long line method its good for basic training of recall and such.. I never train to shake hands usually when I did they would want to put there feet on me all time..lol
DON’T DARE TRY TO FOOSE MY DOG YOU SICK BASTARD.
@jdgemo She has jus had her ears cropped.
that dobie acts just like my dobie
she giving the dog the prize too fast, got to make them sit for atleat 30sec then give them the prize for following command.
@CloseYaEyes Maggie is my Dobie and she is not fat at all. She gets Best Breed Working dog diet and silk balls for extra protein and calories. The hot dogs are not used for regular feeding but for training purposes only because of the shape they are in. Maggie is 50lb and 17 months old. I still need to put another 5-10lbs on her so the hot dogs won’t be a problem.
y do u hav tose things on her ears?
@ljkyekennels okay then go ahead and have a fat dog
Training and imprinting your puppy you can use Hot dogs, Cheese, Chicken what ever is most agreeable with the dog. The Dog must drive for the food. You find a food which is ate with not a lot of chewing for the purpose of training. You get correct sits and downs and heeling with food. After you have correct obedience if the dog has good prey or toy drive you can switch reward and bring up drive with a tug or ball.
@CloseYaEyes
Training using Cheese and Hot dogs is not bad for dog!!! L J Kye kennels uses the German diet by Best breed. Working sport dogs like Deacon in my Kennel is feed the German Working Diet.
Why do all Dobies do anything for cheese??? We have 3, our eldest will probably climb Mount Everest for some Cheddar!
@ljkyekennels very bad to give them
@lordslayer22 thats what they do when there ears have been cropped…. when ears have been cropped… that means that there ears when grown up will stay and stand up right all the time… if you dont crop your dogs ears – they are called button ears… light my doberman… his ears arnt cropped
Cuteeee, i love dobermann pups
- Wish my one was a puppy lol, but hes just one big dog! xD
@venkatkai89
@venkatkai89

@lordslayer22 bcz the ears are cropped and thats the bandage to help it heel plus to make them stand up after they have healed.
