Marilyn's German Shepherds

Feeding Your German Shepherd Puppy

I feed my German Shepherd puppies Eagle Pack puppy food and Diamond puppy food. They always have the choice of both and they have food available for them all the time. If these brands of puppy foods are not available in your area then when your  looking for a puppy food you need to check the ingredients in the puppy foods. The first ingredient need to be meat. Any kind of meat is fine, but meat as the first ingredient is very important. German Shepherd puppies grow very fast and need the protein from meat. You can also feed the puppy raw hamburger meat, liver, heart, or cooked if you prefer as a supplement from time to time.

I teach my puppies and dogs what the word Hot Dog means and how good a hot dog tastes. Out of all the animals I have been around and raised food is a big attention grabber. The fastest way to get an animal gathered back up is with food. So if I have a pup or adult dog get loose from me I get a package of hot dogs and start saying "Hot Dog! Hot Dog!" All my dogs know what the words Hot Dog is and like them as treats. So they always come running back to me and get a couple of hot dogs as their reward for coming to me and them are put back were they belong. I tell my clients this because your dog will learn the word come, but that doesn't mean the dog is going to come back every time he gets loose and is told to come. I have just found the hot dog method is a quick fast way to get back a hold of your dog or puppy to keep them out of harm's way.
