#4 When your German Shepherd will know these 5 words: Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Heel. Once you get through the 5 basic commands and he understands them well, you will have a well-behaved dog with whom you have bonded with.
#5 It is not a good idea to give your German Shepard a treat when you are teaching him commands.
#6 The one command where he can have a treat is when you are teaching him to stay.
#7 When you praise your dog, not only will he want to learn more, it will also help you bond with him. Most professional trainers will tell you that giving your dog praise will actually help him learn faster.
#8 Make sure you have his full attention during training sessions.
#9 They are naturally strong and muscular, sturdy and elongated.
#10 A good place to do your training is in your yard. This is a place where the smells and the surroundings are familiar, therefore, he won’t feel the need to explore.
