 Shepherd Obidience Classes Just got a new female Purebred White german Shepherd. She is awesome . at 11 weeks old , she is well house trained , ( hasn't pooped inside yet) And she comes inside , and i give her 1/8 of a dog treat , she sits , takes the treat nicely , and walks away . BUT Alot of people are telling me to MAKE SURE i take her into classes. Do you really recommend this?

| I don't think classes are necessary for every dog. If the dog is doing well, there aren't any problems and if you have sufficient ways to socialize, then no.

| What were the parents like? These are questions you should be asking your breeder as he/she will know her lines best.

| He told me they were raised well , in a nice barn/garage ... i seen it , i think its a nice insulited building , that would be warm enough , even tho shepherds have good coats. But he said they were kinda raised to protect the house , ( he lived on a HUGE farm house )

| No I mean temperament wise. Not how they were raised. (though that is good to know) Did he ask if you were going to do classes? Does the breeder reccomend classes for the pups? How much prey drive or protection drive is expected from this litter? What sort of things were your pup's family bred for? All these sorts of things will help you decide what you should do. For example the Dekklets are all pretty easy right now, but I know they are going to be highly intelligent with high drive, so would recommend any non pro home do classes.

| yea, i have a nice toy that tests my dogs "prey drive" . She's a bit slow just cuz she is so young , and needs to fill into her feet. But the man i got her from didnt mention to much , Showed me the parents, they looked very heathy with beautiful coats.
