Socialization is so important with German Shepherds. They are highly sociable, and possess unlimited potential for adapting to any situation. From herding, obedience, agility, flyball, tracking, search & rescue, law enforcement, guide dogs, and schutzhund, german shepherds are game for any kind of action.
Born with a strong work ethic, german shepherds like to stay busy and help around the house & yard. Giving them small jobs starting as a puppy keeps them sharp and out of trouble.
