For Your German Shepherd

German Shepherds make great pets! They are incredibly loving, gentle and instinctively protective, so they will be by your side, no matter what! Being an active dog breed, they require lots of exercise and will be more comfortably suited for families with larger homes or spaces.

German Shepherds are famously known to be great police dogs, watchdogs and many other roles in the special forces. Their intelligence, keen sense of smell, agility, and ability to learn and follow instructions is what makes them the go-to choice.

German Shepherds are safe as pets at home, and will in fact make sure your home stays safe too! They are instinctively protective of their families and spaces, so you have a loyal companion for life. They are a larger and fairly active dog breed, so you must ensure you can provide them with a comfortable amount of space and lots of fun activities, outdoor adventures, and your time, love and attention.

If you have the time and energy to socialise them, then they are a great choice. But if you have a busy lifestyle and are looking for a dog that requires little training or grooming, then you might want to reconsider.

Comb in the direction of hair growth and away from the skin. Work on the coat in sections to make it easier. Remove tangles gently, do not pull on the fur too hard as it will hurt your dog.

A German Shepherd will turn out to be your best friend! They are friendly to people, kids and most dogs. Their instinctive protective nature might make them a bit hesitant at first, meeting strangers or new dogs. It is also important to note that every dog is different, and many other factors other than their breed type affect their individual personalities.

Don’t be fooled by their tough, wolf-like appearance—German Shepherds are incredibly gentle and loving playmates. In fact, they are known to be very protective of kids in their family, watching and guarding their siblings come what may!

Yes, German Shepherds are super easy to train! They are one of the most intelligent dog breeds. They are known to be quick learners and follow instructions with perfection. You can contact a reputed dog trainer and behaviourist to help you train them, or teach basic commands at home.

German Shepherd dogs have a high tolerance for cold weather. Having said that, GSDs are an adaptable breed and if acclimated, they can do well in hot weather too. Always make sure that your dog has access to cold water and shade.

During summers, you can bathe your GSD once every 2-4 weeks as required. Bathing your dog is an excellent way to bond with them and check for skin problems or lumps that may otherwise go unnoticed. It also depends on where you live and how much dirt your pet’s coat collects.
