The Best Way To Eliminate Canine Issues Through German Shepherd Training

By Patrick Hayes


Many dogs want to dig, but you can end this behavior if you know the right method to train your dog. Like many dogs, German Shepherds get bored very easily from their day-to-day schedule and often turn to unacceptable behavior such as digging, chewing and excessive barking. This post contains some German Shepherd training hints to help you prevent and stop your dog from digging and other behavior issues.

To relieve canine separation anxiety (CSA), give him lots of exercise. A tired dog is a happy dog. Slip in and out of the house without making a big deal out of it. Sometimes bidding goodbye to your canine companion heightens his anxiety. If you notice that your dog has associated something like picking up keys with departing, then begin doing the move many times each day to quell negative feelings. Dogs with separation anxiety should not sleep in their human's bed. Fido may be comfortable, but sadly, sleeping in bed often results to dogs building unhealthy, obsessive fixations on their owners. By providing your four-legged friend a crate or bed of his own, he will have his personal space and learn a little independence.

Stop your furry friend from eating poop! For some reason, some dogs tend to eat feces, either because it tastes good or they are bored. A different theory is that a dog will eat his feces because he sees the owner cleaning it up and is seeking to copy that behavior. If you see your canine friend doing this, use the basic 'leave it' command. If your dog already understands this command, it's going to work quickly. Reward proper behavior. One last thing - dogs will eventually grow out of this routine on their own, so do not worry a lot regarding it.

The best way to stop your dog from barking excessively, is to make him more comfy with whatever it is he barks at so often. Dogs bark at anything that scares or threatens them, so if you show your canine that the object of their fear is nothing to be scared of, he will end barking.

Some German Shepherd training tactics advise that you give your dog a treat as a reward for great performance. This is a wonderful technique but make certain you're not giving your dog a treat each time he executes the task. If you do, he come to expect the treat whenever and when you stop with the treats, the obedience halts as well. Instead give the dog a treat at random so that he won't begin to expect when he gets a treat.
