How do you introduce your German Shepherd to your Boyfriend?

Answer 1

German Shepherds are known to be a very protective and intelligent breed. When introducing them to new people, it is always advised that you not take the dog by surprise. For the first introduction, have your boyfriend come into the house and sit down in an area that is familiar to your German Shepherd. Carefully bring your pooch over and let him or her start by sniffing your boyfriend. He should not act apprehensive or show fear, as the pup will pick up on this. Gradually coax your boyfriend to pet your dog and allow them some time to get to know each other.

Answer 2

Start by having your boyfriend approach slowly with a calm and relaxed demeanor. Allow the German Shepherd to sniff your boyfriend's hand to get familiar with his scent. Monitor their interactions closely, and provide positive reinforcement to both when they behave calmly and positively around each other. Gradually increase the time they spend together and always prioritize the dog's comfort and safety.
