German Shepherd Obedience Training – Unbelievably Effective Tool For Training Your German Shepherd

After God knows how many trial and errors, I finally discovered the best German shepherd obedience training method. I can definitely vouch for this method as it requires a certain tool designed to be a highly effective conditioned reinforcer…

And this tool has done wonders for my dog’s behavior!

So what is this effective tool I’m raving about?

Okay the tool that I use for my German shepherd obedience training is called (drum roll please)…a clicker!

Alright look, you’ve probably heard of this device before. It’s basically a little plastic box with a metal on top. It makes a clicking sound when you press it.

Before this, I tried using a clicker to train my dog but the end result was unsatisfactory. I clicked, clicked, clicked, gave treat, clicked, clicked, treat again and my German Shepherd Yobo, he just stared at me like I’m a hobo or something.

So, I gave up and tried other dog obedience training techniques and you know what?

Nothing worked!

And then, I stumbled upon a clicker training manual online. I saw a sample video on the site and I figured why not just give the clicker another shot. So, I downloaded the manual and viewed the videos online.

(You may follow the link at the bottom to take a look at the manual and video details)

And what a revelation!

My German shepherd obedience training went smoothly thanks to the manual’s easy to follow examples and the clicker exercise videos were top-notch.

Alright! Listen closely. In order to train your dog effectively using a clicker, you must take note of the following points:

(1) Always aim for high rate of reinforcement especially in the very beginning stages of training. Your dog should earn a click/reward every 5 seconds. Don’t linger for too long during training just waiting for your dog to finally perform the correct behavior (my initial mistake!).

(2) When you teach him a new behavior, do it in a zero-distraction environment. Once your German shepherd has learned that behavior, then you can bring him out in the open.
