Among the many dog breeds, the German Shepherd is rightfully considered the smartest and easiest to train.
The dog is distinguished by its loyalty, devotion, it has a docile character and it can defend its owner.
But, despite all these positive reviews, a dog of this breed is not suitable for everyone and it is not only a matter of experience.
Positive qualities
1. The dog's intelligence should be put first, because it seems that after a couple of training sessions the dog will sit down to play chess with its owner.
This is not an exaggeration, but a real fact - the German Shepherd is one of the three smartest representatives of the family.
2. The qualities of a guard and protector dog deserve attention.
With proper training, representatives of this breed easily learn commands, carry them out accurately, and easily adapt to new conditions.
In addition, the dog is very strong, hardy and armed with powerful jaws.
3. At the same time, shepherds are used not only as guard or service dogs.
They serve people as shepherd dogs, guide dogs and are capable of care and tenderness.
Who shouldn't get one?
With all these qualities, the dog has a special character, which every owner should know about.
Firstly, shepherds are sensitive to the atmosphere in the house.
They do not like quarrels and scandals and can start barking loudly or take the side of the person who, in their opinion, needs protection.
With loud barking, they will insist on ending the conflict.
Secondly, a physically developed dog requires active walks and intellectual stimulation.
Without regular and long-term training, the animal's behavior may change.
There are known cases where the dog became anxious and aggressive.
