<\/a>Preparing for a stranger and strange dog as they approach<\/p><\/div>\n
I also make sure everyone in the class understands the proper procedure to separate two dogs that get into a ruckus.\u00a0 This is done by each owner of the aggressive German Shepherd Dogs to turn and walk in opposite directions to separate the two aggressivors.\u00a0 Never stick any part of your body in between two dogs that are showing aggression.<\/p>\n
This exercise serves several purposes, first for those dogs in the sit stay position, they learn to remain in the sit stay position even when a stranger and strange dog are walking around them in close proximity.\u00a0 In addition, it teaches the heeling German Shepherd Dog to concentrate on heeling and their owner and to ignore distractions of strangers and strange dogs.<\/p>\n
More importantly, it teaches passive and\/or insecure German Shepherd Dogs to develop confidence around strangers and strange dogs.\u00a0 Most importantly for those German Shepherd Dogs that are people or dog aggressive, it teaches them to be under control when in close proximity to strangers or strange dogs.<\/p>\n
Try this exercise or ask your trainer to incorporate this exercise into your basic obedience class and you will be pleasantly surprised about how quickly your German Shepherd Dog will improve their social skills around strangers and strange dogs.<\/p>\n
Ask me a question and I will provide my opinion.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
