I am 75 and have had 6 GSDs, 2 at a time, over 25 years. Number one was socialization, which I start early. When I had to work, I used a dog hiker who took my dogs up in the mountain and to lakes, off leash. Of course I only did this after I had trained my dogs to obey off leash. I also take them places, even in my pharmacy. They are very friendly, but have also protected me and my home. As I am older, I spend more time with my dogs, but am not as active. They don’t seem to mind. They follow me everywhere and are very polite. My youngest is 2, so I will be 85-87 when he dies. Since he loves me now I assume he will always love me. He also likes to ride in my Porsche.

Gentle is my favorite word to teach mine. I can see their bodies language change immediately when they hear it. It’s super easy too. When they are being sweet and chill you say good gentle. And pet and love on them.

Then when they are crazy, you say gentle… and praise them when they power down and act chill.

(Cats also help train gentle lol)

Just got a pup last July. My wife has anxiety. Without training he knows to go to her for comfort when her anxiety goes up. He's pretty amazing.

We just adopted a year and a half German Shepherd. We have had Shelties, Samoyeds, Labs, Goldens, and Dalmations. Whenfirst we brought him home, we left the kitchen for just a few minutes and when we came back into our kitchen, he was up on a high counter looking out the window! Fortunately, he had already had real good effective training so, he knew the command, "down". He obeyed at once. We love him! He is so well behaved, as we go into stores that allow dogs, LOVES car rides. Especially, when he hears the Mustang roar up. Oh, he is all over that sound and know it is his special time to go cruisin' with Mom!

My german shepherds are like humans, because I have been socializing them since 3 months old. Now they are five yrs old and very smart. They behave and understand like humans. My life has been the happiest and safe. My three queens. 👑👑👑🐶🐶🐶

Another excellent video, it's true GSD can be taught manners! Not jumping major lesson to teach your GSD they can unintentionally cause physical harm by jumping up on people.
That pure white GSD wow how beautiful!!!

I won’t have a problem with socializing because we have a lot of neighborhood friends and i have a LOT of siblings. This was helpful

[OttoMatieque]

yes, socializing is important. Keep an eye on how your dog is taking it and don't push too fast/hard. When my girl was 2 months to a year old I would take her to Lowes and other stores that allow dogs. She would show signs of stress so I would slip her some snacks and keep her moving. We would quickly flow through the store and not linger so she could experience the strangers and noises but not have the stress hormones build up and boil over. As she passed her first birthday she had a big jump in maturity and wasn't bothered nearly as much when going into stores. Try to keep the learning experiences positive or at least having her end with the feeling 'that wasn't so bad'.

My dream dog is the German Shepherd and thank you for these tips

[alcyr]

I got Nayla at 9 months old, 3 months later she is less aggressive to strangers, but that all goes out the window when she sees other animals. A dog barking through a house window or fence, she would lose her mind. Now depending how wound up she is, a simple "Nayla be a good girl calms her down". Or it can be all teeth and aggresisive behaviour. I just want calm walks. When she spots other dogs. Quite often the other dog, across the street ignores her. I accept she wants to protect, but not provoke it.

I have a 4 year old male German Shephard who is smart enough to pull his collar off. He will get loose to chase the Ducks. 3 times he has jumped up 3-4 feet to catch the ducks while taking off. He catches them like a frisbee. He plays with the Duck for 2-3 minutes then lets them loose. No amount of persuasion will have him release the Duck. The ducks are fine when he releases them. I since have turned to a harness so Dog-Dini can no longer escape! 😳

[Blockparty]

What happens if the German Shepard is older and hasn’t been socialized well what do I do?

[barrybeharriell]

How do you break aggression in your Shepard towards other dogs, I got him at 3 years old, he's now 5...

[lesliecorcoran]

Most important thing with all dogs is make them understand you are Alpha. Don’t scare them be firm and consistent

[hughp]

Ignoring unwanted behavior like jumping is ridicules. My GSD was re-homed twice because of that kind of crap. He was 3 1/2 when I adopted him and totally out of control and did whatever he wanted. From the beginning he LEARNED what was acceptable and what was not, which meant I had to TEACH him by loving guidance and leadership what it was I wanted. I never inflect pain on my GSD, but teaching him and a good quality pinch collar made all the difference. There has to be boundaries and consequences. Children don't get to kick teachers when they want either.

I just got my first Shephard. 4 months old and playful. Ive never trained one so any advice would be helpful.
