your dog sits at the table with you? thats awesome!!!

i say "bad dog" when she does something REALLY bad ( like potty on the floor, lol ) but that is rare. otherwise i use her name in a stern tone to let her know she is doing something wrong, its hard to explain though, usually i do that when she is wondering around and i can't tell exactly what she is up to so she will come to me. other wise i use "NO!" in verying degree's of severity.

lol No she does not sit at teh table with us. She sits in a big old arm chair in the livingroom. That is her place when we eat meals.

"Shame on you" or "no".

I use "NIT" in a hissed tone.. No means NO instant, NIt means try again or cool it.. ( much better than knock it off...) I use to have a van named " hushpuppy" ( hshpupe) which I figured was better than "shut up dog"... lol..

While I don't own German Sheperd dogs, I occasionally have 2 who visit me quite often..

When I tell Hexay to sit, she "speaks" ( maybe in German? ) so, then I say--EH! EH! EH!!!-- "come on Hexay, you know the drill"----"Sit !" We'll go through this for a few minutes, or a few more " woffs", then, she'll sit!!! She is a very vocal dog most of the time anyway, for an Older German Sheperd~~

Kasha ( the black one) is well trained, she will sit and offer to shake your hand, but, she wants to be Grammas little Baby (Senior Dog), and keeps coming back for another treat when she has been a very good girl!!! It's so hard not to spoil her, she is such a sweetheart!!

Both of these dogs are just ANGELS!!!!!

Shepherds, especially females, will try to figure out another way to do something. They are also smart enough to know if they dont do it quite right- you talk to them more, and they love the sound of your voice.. lol.. Yes I am kidding =- but sometimes I wondered..
