How to Train German Shepherd Mix Dogs?
Adopting a German shepherd mix is a very wise idea since these dogs are known to be excellent pets as well as work dogs. German shepherd mix breeds are said to intelligent and they serve as very good guards. Nevertheless, the quality of an adult German shepherd mix dog depends on the way we train him/her. Most of the people are clueless about how to train a German shepherd mix dog. The training routine to be meted out to a German shepherd mix is almost the same as what is to be provided to a purebred German shepherd dog. If you have bought or adopted a German shepherd mix dog, the first training to be inculcated is basic obedience training. The requirement is not of physical exercises only; in fact mental exercises are essential as well. It is necessary to lay down your training goals before you embark on the process. Suppose you want to begin with basic instructions such as “Sit”, “Stay”, “Run”, etc., it would be better to pursue the training in short one-on-one sessions. Even the puppies would respond faster if the sessions are short and compact. Otherwise the German shepherd may show fatigue and any progress made towards the training goal may go down the drain. Make sure that you conduct the initial basic training sessions at a place where there is very less scope of distractions. Choose a private space such as a store, laundry room, office, or study, away from distracting catalysts such as noise, traffic, and even toys. Also, it is vital that you reward your German shepherd mix puppy once he/she gets the training step right since reinforcements go a long way in conditioning a dog effectively. Make sure that you do not splurge on the dog with choicest of rewards each time. But, learn to be generous and kind to the animal. The most important virtue to inculcate while training a German shepherd mix is patience. First and foremost, you need to understand the importance of providing the right training to the dog. German shepherd mix breeds are not normally reared for mere luxury purposes. They are supposed to guard one’s homes and their intelligence has to be properly developed to distinguish between things. One modus operandi to make him/her learn the tricks faster is by keeping the reward out of reach. Position it about six inches above the dog’s head and as he/she tries to reach it, say “Sit”. Do not repeat it but make sure that the dog obeys your command. In this way, you need to train him/her with respect to other steps as well. Whenever the dog follows the step correctly, do appreciate him by saying, “Good boy!” or a similar endearment that will encourage them on the path of learning. One basic key to be kept in mind is not to move forward to complicated steps without gaining mastery over simpler steps. After all, a solid building can be built only when a strong foundation is laid.
