Are you planning to welcome a new dog but are still unsure about which breed to get? Have you always admired German Shepherds but are hesitant because of their aggressive image? Or maybe you've been given a German Shepherd puppy, and you have no idea what to do with it?
The German Shepherd is a popular and highly in-demand dog breed... and for good reason. They're intelligent, loyal, energetic, playful, and protective of their owners, making them great companions.
They're also extremely hardworking and versatile and can be trained to do almost anything - including sports, rescue, therapy, scent work, and guide dog work.
But no matter how amazing this breed is, your dog won't come to you all well-behaved and obedient.
Before they can start sitting down or rolling over on command, you need to first start with the basics, such as potty training and learning to socialize. And you'll need to know their unique needs so you can care for them properly. Fortunately, there's no need for you to second guess your German Shepherd's necessities.
