How To Teach A German Shepherd To Be A Guard Dog

German Shepherds usually take it for granted to be a watchdog. It is important to train them to be obedient. Learn like this.

Many dogs are natural watch dogs; Their barking is enough to alert their owner to something out of the ordinary, and the alarm they hear is a hindrance. Also, dogs that fight if their owner is really attacked should not be aggressive in doing so. Training a dog specifically as a watchdog is dangerous and can cause a responsibility for you. Bad attempts to turn an aggressive dog into an abuser are only counterproductive because the dog is not loyal to someone who treats them harshly, and if the dog bites someone wrong, you will be blamed. Never train dogs that are anxious or out of control. These dogs may not respond appropriately in non-threatening situations.

A German shepherd should not be trained as a guard dog unless the dog is basically friendly, stable and clear and well socialized.


 

STEP 1
Socialize your German Shepherd puppy from the beginning. Dogs need to understand clearly what is normal and what is not, so they are not afraid and know when there is a real threat. To socialize puppies, bring them to places with you and let them interact and talk with as many people and animals as possible, always careful to protect your puppy from negative experiences. Dogs of any race are likely to be anxious and anxious in strange or new surroundings if they have not been well socialized, and this may create a dog that bites or runs away in fear when confronted with something unusual.

STEP 2
Register your German Shepherd dog as soon as possible in an obedience class and train your dog completely in basic obedience. It is important that your German Shepherd dog is always obedient, but if you want to do a watchdog training, the need for control is inevitable. Although the purpose of training is serious, dogs should like to work obedience and treat it as fun. Positive reinforcement, the practice of rewarding dogs when they work properly instead of punishing them for mistakes, has several purposes in teaching dog needs, connecting them with their owners, and leaving them alone. Fun. It also meets your need to work.

STEP 3
Teach your German Shepherd not to bark on command. If dogs do not learn that, they can bark up anything and anything unusual that gets annoying. Begin by teaching your dog to "speak" with the command and give him a compliment and much praise for the barking. Then use a command like "Silent" or "Enough". Give praise and a small gift when the dog is calm. This workout finally gives you control over the dog's barking. Let your dog bark. German Shepherds are smart and learn fast.

STEP 4
Encourage your dog to bark by announcing strangers who come to your home. You can develop this function by showing why the dog is barking, praising, and then giving the command "Silence" or "Enough." Respond positively if your German Shepherd warns you of unknown objects or objects in your house, but do not let this behavior arise outside your home. Your dog should not worry about the neutral or friendly strangers he encounters when walking around.

STEP 5
Improve your dog's alertness at home by making sure the people the dog does not know are pretending to enter your house or garden. If your shepherd barks, the intruder must watch the dog and run away while hugging and congratulating your dog. Do not let your pet chase away the evasive stranger. Praise your dog for letting someone know on his territory, and stop barking as soon as the person fled. This increases the confidence of the dog.

STEP 6
Regularly guide your German Shepherd with a leash around the perimeter of your property to identify your area boundaries. Do not let your dog bark at anyone outside of your possessions. Do not let your dog hunt under any circumstances.
