German Shepherds are intelligent dogs that benefit from leash training which starts around 8-10 weeks of age. Leash training establishes the owner as the pack leader and teaches the dog to pay attention to and obey the owner by tightening the leash when the puppy wanders and loosening it for good behavior. Being authoritative while also using rewards helps ensure the German Shepherd views the owner as the alpha of the pack.
