This document provides a 3-step guideline for training a German Shepherd:
1. German Shepherds require basic obedience training to demonstrate they can be controlled by their owner. Proper training is important as they are often used as working dogs for tasks like search and rescue.
2. German Shepherds are capable of long hours of physical exercise without fatigue, making them suitable for jobs requiring stamina like police or therapy work.
3. While they can be guard dogs, the document also notes they can make family pets due to their traits, though owners must be committed to training them.
