Though these are very intelligent dogs, they need regular training and constant attention. Training should begin early in life that is very important as untrained dogs have a tendency to be difficult to handle and control. Since these are very intelligent and eager to learn dogs, they can be trained to do a variety of tasks. They can perform well in sentry duty, police work, and tracking, obedience, search and rescue, and serve as assistance dogs for the disabled. Originally trained as a herder, the breed is still used in this capacity in some areas of the world. Learn more about german shepherd characteristics at rescues and view photo galleries.
