I need tips for obedience training for my 6 months German Shepherd female. Specially when walking outside, like how to sit and never move or never eat anything from the street, or how to attack someone by my command :). Any tips would be very helpful. Thanks a million in advance.

When I wanted help training my 2 Labs, I went to a city parks and recreation class once a week that was very inexpensive. Look also in the yellow pages. There are even people who will train your dog for you for $$$. Be prepared to spend time every day working with your pet to teach them.

The three basic commands are: Sit Stay Down Sit: Tell the dog to sit. The dog want know what to do. When the dog sits after a while. Give the dog praise. Down: When you say down point your finger twords the ground and say "down ". Stay: When the dog is sitting or standing, say "stay ". When the dog moves say bad girl or boy. When the dog stays, wait 30 second and say good girl or boy and praise the dog with a treat.

Time, praise and consistency are your best bet. If you are in a position to train twice a day for 15 minutes, great. You also need to play with your dog after the training lesson. I use praise and not treats. Remember, the dog wants to please you. ATTACK COMMANDS ARE RESEARVED FOR PROFESSIONAL WORKING DOGS!! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAIN YOUR DOG TO ATTACK. YOUR DOG WILL PROTECT YOU WITHOUT AN "ATTACK " COMMAND; if you try to teach it to attack, you might ruin a great animal.
