They are a easier dog to train than most dogs and are very obedient thats why they are used as police dogs.
German Shepard’s are smart dogs and protective of their owner , but like any puppy its not hard to train them , you just need to have patience. Any puppy will obey what you say it just takes them time . . .
Animals are like human babies , It takes them time to learn and understand.
German shepherds are very trainable. I wouldn’t call them EASY to train since it’s always going to take work to train any dog, and you probably know this, but yeah, they’re smart dogs, they’re loyal so they obey pretty well and they do take training seriously. That’s why they make such good seeing eye dogs, drug sniffer outers, police dogs, etc….
Yep, you have great taste in breeds!
Yes they are, But remember since they’re just pups have a small attention span and would almost rather play for a reward. Try playing with they’re favorite toy as a reward instead of a treat. plus in that case less money spent of treats and a better out come.
Don’t forget Have Funn with your pup. Good luck.
I have a German Shepherd Puppy myself who just turned 1, and he is as crazy as all get out, but can be the sweetest and most lovable dog ever. Shepherds just need some patients. I wouldn’t say that they’re easy to train, but they’re certainly not impossible to train. It’s just that they get so big so fast, and their brain just doesn’t seem to catch up as fast (;
They are extremely loyal dogs and love their owners very much, that’s why they make such good police dogs. I would recommend beginning training not long at all after you get the puppy to get it started off right.
Hope this helps!
German Shepherds are smart so if you are consistent you should be able to train one pretty easily.A puppy always needs a lot of exercise so remember that too.

German shepherds are listed as the third smartest dog, but they need alot of exercise if they don’t get that exercise they’ll be to hyper to listen.
Socialize early take them everywhere. You must introduce a puppy to alot of different things while there young or they will be unsure of those things as they get older.
Use positive reinforcement and a stern low voice for corrections. Train almost every day for about ten minutes
Remember you are boss, socialization, exercise, and training
