German Shepherd Training - 8 Tips on Dealing With Aggression


In this article I would like to discuss the basics of German Shepherd training, specifically, dealing with aggression in this particular breed. Since the German Shepherd is an athletic dog often times used in protection roles, many feel that they are prone to aggression. This is simply not true.



Let's get to the basics of training an aggressive German Shepherd:



� Canines need to understand that you are the alpha dog in the house. German Shepherds are no different. From day 1 of owning them, your dog should view you as alpha. If you are well into your relationship with your German Shepherd and have not established the alpha role, you may experience some resistance.



� Humiliation, abuse, and corporal punishment have no place when dealing with aggressive behavior. A mild shake by the scruff of the neck to emphasize the rules is typically enough.
