The German Shepherd is a completely versatile breed. It is purchased as a guard, but before you buy a puppy of this breed, you need to think it over. A healthy puppy should be cheerful, with shiny coat and thick paws. Education begins from the first day the puppy appears in the house. Raising a German Shepherd puppy is instilling in the puppy the necessary skills that will help in the future life and training of an adult dog.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that the ideal owner of a German Shepherd will be a balanced, persistent, patient, loving and respectful person with whom fate has brought him together.

Proper maintenance of a puppy is the beginning of his upbringing. From the very first day the puppy appears in the house, give him as much attention as possible with your presence.

Do not forget that one person in the family should take care of the puppy and train him.
Step 4
To begin with, accustom him to the regime. Feeding the puppy should take place at certain hours and in a strictly designated place.
Step 5
At the initial stage of education, the study of all teams should take place in the form of a game. Be sure to reward the puppy with a tasty treat for each command execution, but do not spoil him. The delicacy is given only for the performance of any technique.
Step 6
The very first command you have to teach him to is his nickname. Usually, this command is taught during feeding the puppy, during petting and playing. Then add the commands "To Me" and "Place". Remember not to overdo it when training a puppy.
Step 7
From 2 months of age teach the puppy to the command "Fu". This command should be given in a stern voice and persistent. You must always strive to fulfill it.
Step 8
From 3 months of age, teach your puppy to sit and lie down.

Beginning to go for walks, accustom the puppy to the command "Near". It is best to do this when the puppy is walking and having a good walk. Gradually accustom your puppy to street noise, cars and trains. Walk more along busy streets.
