Are German shepherds smart and easy to train?
Yes and no to both. Most GSD’s are eager and willing to learn and enjoy training sessions (don’t overdo with a young pup – they just don’t have the attention span). If you start young and teach your puppy its order in your “pack”, problems with training will be minimized. However, GSD’s tend to have more dominant personalities than some breeds and can be stubborn, so some care in training is recommended. Classes are extremely beneficial. A GSD that thinks it’s the Alpha member of the pack can be a big handful.
