  • German Shepherds are my most favorite dogs.

    Beautiful dog you have there.

  • Hey ToriamosX, nice to see you here! Thank you for your comment. He truely fills my heart with happiness. Have a great week!

  • How'd u teach him to do that?

  • German Shepherds are pleasers and very obedient. I'm sure there is an exception to the rule, but Max is the "Golden Rule". He loves to make me happy and it never hurts to have a few treats in hand. The "play dead" part is done like any other trick or obedience... Positive reinforcement . I would have him sit, down, and then "point" and literally have to put my hand on him to make him lay on his side, then give him the treat. Repeat and repeat. Soon, he was doing it without my assistance. =)

  • Ok thanks so much! I'm getting a german shepherd puppy this Saturday! I love the GSD and how loyal and loving they are. :) I want to teach mine this trick!

  • In my humble opinion, they are the most fantastic breed of dog and you are making a very wise choice! The one thing I would say to do (this goes for any breed of dog, but especially GS) is to socialize them with LOTS of people and other dogs. They can become timid as adults if not properly trained and socialized. Best of luck to you with the trick! If you need any advice or help with your puppy just send me a tell. =)
