You can teach an old dog a new trick. The dog first of all has to know who is in charge. Once that boundary is set then you start doing positive reinforcements. Clicker training works really well and you can purchase a clicker at any pet store along with a training manual. German Shepard's are very smart and learn easily mainly because they are eager to please and they love praise. I work at an animal shelter and the police adopt most of our Shepard's and train them to be police dogs. Most of these dogs are adults. I will tell you though as a word of warning, these dogs can also become aggressive if abused or mistreated. I would look in my phone book and sign up for some dog training classes. The classes are not expensive and it would benefit you both. Your shepard will love it because it will give them a chance to show off a little. Good Luck!

German Shepherds easily trained, WHEN they are puppies. And i'm not talking a dog that is already 2 years of age. The time to start training for an obedient dog is 8 weeks. At that age you should start using basic commands like "sit", "stay", "down", "stand". However, since your dog is already two years old, I HIGHLY recommend a formal trainer. You should look for local Dog Obedience Classes. They will cost you some money, but so far, they are the only way I know that you can really train a dog that is already that old. Good luck. And kudos to you for wanting a trained dog.

I stroll to the tip of our driveway to get our mail, but we don't share a box with someone so it is right in front of our residence, i don't depart the property or unfastened sight of the condominium. I don't think i might consider secure venturing down the road. This perhaps much less of a question about what you are relaxed with and extra about what's authorized. Not pronouncing you're intentionally seeking to neglect her, however imagine if an officer knocked on the door (say, just to ask a couple of neighbor) and you were not there they usually heard a youngster crying and then you definately bought home a couple of minutes later. They might not believe the same means you do about this :/ just be careful!

Dog poops inside dog doesn't get fed. Everything is about food.
Note: If you have a really dumb dog you might have to fed it anyway.
Also make sure you are the top dog because they won't listen if you're not. Yes you are a dog... at least in your pets mind so don't let your dog get away with giving you any dirty looks.
