Troubling Traits
Schäferhund Understands Troubled Pups
The shepherd breed over the years has developed many great traits and some undesired ones. We are here to help you understand those traits and how to curb them.
Jumping
What it means?
The jumping habit of a shepherd can be very rude, threatening, and scary for many people, as shepherds are known as strong guard dogs.
What can cause it?
This behavior happens either due to your dog’s overly-excited, overly-possessive or overly-protective nature.
What are the next steps?
Jumping behavior is seen in the dogs that are not trained to follow commands from a young age. Some ways to curb or work around this behavior are to ignore the pup, put the pup on a leash, teach them to sit or just put the pup in another room.
