How do you teach a German Shepherd tricks?
German Shepherds are very smart dogs. Many police use them as the K- 9 unit. You can teach them to do unbelievable things! Some dogs do tricks for treats or just for you to give them a good pat.
Probally one of the most basic tricks is Sit. To make them sit, take your dog and a treat, hold the treat in your hand, and wait until the dog puts his/her butt on the floor. Right when she/he does, immediatly reward him with a treat saying "Sit." Keep doing that and eventually Rover will get the idea. Pretty simple. You can teach them to do other things like stay or lay down. You can make him/ her lay down by holding a treat in your hand, make them sit, then put your hand to the ground. Your dog will follow it, and lay down. Once he/she is on the ground, laying down, Say "Lay down" Or whatever you want to call the trick. Be sure to encourage and praise your dog alot, and not to yell at him/ her if she/he messes up. Try not to get frustrated, it takes patience to train a dog.
