Will a gsd untrained protect its owner?
I am a personal protection dog trainer and the best dogs for that are gsds (German Shepherd Dogs) and rottweilers. For e.g. gsds are very insecure and bond well with usually 1 or 2 people and they will do anything to protect them and just to let you know there all like this but they don't usually get their guarding instinct until they're around 1 year, oh and a little tip, when he or she is 8 to11 months don't socialise them for a two week period.
What are some behavioral adaptations for German Shepperd's?
Dogs, like people are individuals with their own personalities so there is no generalisation or rigid formula to certain breed's behaviour. However, some characteristics of the German Shepard breed include:Generally an intelligent breed, one animal behaviourist's experimentation in placing breed on a IQ continuum determined that GSDs would be the third smartest breed. Such dogs, if bored, can become destructive, but that's depends on each individual, their breeding and their upbringing. GSDs are Working Dogs (originally bred to herd and guard large livestock), and most wouldn't be content to have nothing to do or have little mental stimulus.They're good guard dogs and family dogs though generally not as good with children as some other breeds such as Rough Collies or Boxers.Unlike some smaller dogs and some more aggressive breeds such as Dobermanns, GSDs are not as easily excitable, meaning that they are generally calmer and less likely to go into flight-or-fight mode (the more common reaction for dogs would be fight, which is why some breeds can be more unpredicatbale and dangerous than others).Unlike some breeds such as Pit bulls, some Mastiffs and Boxers (so called "bully breeds"), GSDs are relatively easy to socialise with other dogs.They're excellent family dogs but they're also one-man dogs. This usually isn't a problem but it can potentially become one if just that one person (the one the dog sees as pack leader) plays the leader role (feeding the dog, taking for walks, bonding etc.) Again, it depends on the dog's personality.
How do you train German shepherds?
first of all NEVER train anything with treats because when you are away from home or wherever you wont be able to give him/her treats and when you dont they will be confused and it will just go downhill from there. anyway start with something simple like sit, lie down , or shake then work your way up. but when your GSD-German Shepherd Dog- does it right simply say one or all of the following- good dog, good boy, good girl, good_____-what ever your GSDs name is-, or even yay you did it! dont forget to pet your dog when you say those things. ITS A SIMPLE PROCEDURE CALLED PRAISING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can dachshunds swim?
GSDs swim brilliantly. But you should expose your pup to the water early and often, so they do not develop a fear or are apprehensive about getting in the water when they are older. GSDs like routine and they thrive off of their human leaders, so make sure you spend a lot of time socializing them, introducing them to new situations (like swimming in a lake) and pampering them with love.
Why would a 13 year old German Shepherd have problems with poop just sliding out of her like she doesn't even realize it is happening?
There are several possibilities, but a vet should be consulted for a diagnosis. It is possible it is from degenerative myelitis, a disease that effects GSDs and their ability to use their hind quarters.
What is the difference between an English Shepherd and a Border Collie?
EVERYTHING! GSDs are larger often 65-100 lbs. and can be long or short coated BCs are always long haired a 30-55 lbs. BCs are recognized as #1 most intelligent dog and GSDs are #4. GSDs also have a stronger bite force at 238 psi and ranks in the top ten highest jaw strength for domestic dogs. I don't believe they have tested the BC, if they have i haven't found the results. BCs are most commonly black & white but can be red, blue and i have read black and tan. GSDs are usually black mixed with red, tan, silver, or white. They can also be black, white, sable, cream, or yellow. GSDs don't need as much exercise and can be kept as apartment dogs if given fair exercise BCs are not recommended for apartments because of there very high exercise needs.
