Question about a German Shepherd dog?
I just turned 22, self employed right now, and i'm gonna go find an apartment soon. When I do, I will be buying a German Shepherd. Fortunately, the apartment I want to move to allows pets. The unfortunate thing is my family does NOT want a dog --- mainly cause my dad has allergies.
I'm going to buy him as a puppy. ANd i will do my own training. I been watching a lot of "It's me or the dog" on animal plannet. I think I picked up some goods tips on there about how to train dogs. And I don't think a German Shepherd pup will be hard to train because GSD are considerably smart breeds. Right?
Here is the thing. The lady at the apartment where I'm gonna go to said when you train them you can buy a shocker. I thought that was a good idea, but then later on I feel that was a mean thing to do.
Here's the thing. If my german shepherd does SOMETHING that I DON'T like, I won't give it a treat. For example, if i tell him to sit, and he runs, I won't give him a treat. If he sits on the command "sit", he gets a treat. I will reward my dog when he does something i like after I tell him. I don't think it's nice to shock him for every wrong thing. I have too much respect for these dogs, and I wouldn't want to shock them. My GSD will be partner for life and i want the best for him and he will get the best from me.
Is there, however, any other methods to discpline them other than a shock or not giving them a treat? I want my training to be successful.
