Dogs have been man’s most loyal companions for thousands of years. Since dogs are used for the purposes of food and protection, they have been given a certain amount of status in human society. This is also true for the breed that is loved by millions of people around the world: the German Shepherd.
Because of their association with military purposes, German Shepherds have gained a certain amount of popularity in the United States and some parts of the world. The reason for their popularity is simple: they are beautiful dogs that look fierce and tough. They are indeed, but they also have amazing personalities. It’s quite astonishing to see how they happily listen to orders from their owners as well as from soldiers. It’s also quite incredible to see how they help their owners as well as how they protect their owners from any dangers.
The German Shepherd is a loyal dog that does not get tired even if it has been subjected to an abusive situation. Some might consider this quality as wrong but I consider it to be the best. In military contexts, they usually don’t get enough physical activity. In civilian settings, however, they tend to get plenty of exercises. This can be done by doing sports or using dog-walking services.
Despite their strong physical ability, German Shepherds are not aggressive dogs. Indeed, it’s quite easy to find people who love their dogs and will treat them with great care and consideration. Yet, on the other hand, there are plenty of people who would be more likely to be aggressive if they sense a problem. That’s why some trainers have started to train them as guard dogs.
How German Shepherds are trained as guard dogs is quite controversial. Some trainers have decided to train them to guard their owners. Others prefer to train them with athletic exercises and obedience. Regardless of how they’re trained, the German Shepherd is a great dog for the job. They are great at protecting their owners from any dangers.
