GERMANSHEPHERD

Coexistence

It is important to acquire German Shepherds from recognized breeders since, as good shepherds, they are large, powerful and have strong guarding instincts. Dogs bred with poor practices are more likely to be nervous.

To avoid aggressive and overprotective behavior, German Shepherds need to be carefully socialized from a very young age and obedience trained. They should be with family and exposed to other people and neighborhood pets under supervision; They should not be confined to a kennel or yard either alone or with other dogs.

German Shepherds are active and enjoy having something to do. They need to do a lot of exercise on a daily basis; otherwise, they become nervous or very excitable.
