A. German Shepherds are intimidating dogs, so that's a plus. It also depends on how you train your dog. A few more good ones a rottweilers, great dane, bull mastiff. It also depends on how much you will be able to exercise the dog, Great Danes don't need that much exercise, but they are big strong dogs, so you would have to invest in some training. Boxer's are very energetic so they would need exercised! Again, training makes the dog!

How do I train my German Shepherd to be an executive protection dog?
Q. How do I train my German Shepherd to be an executive protection dog? How do I train It myself? Where do I get a Decoy in L.A.? Could the owner be the decoy?

A. No, you can not be your own decoy.. if you are the trainer/handler.. then you let someone else be the helper. Find a Schutzhund Club or a Protection Club or a club that does Ring Sport. Go from there. To start with you can go to this site and see if there are any clubs you can visit in your area.. just to see what it is all about. This type of training you are talking about takes years of training and acquiring titles. good luck handler/Trainer of GSD's

How do you teach a German Shepherd puppy, the "German Shepherd stance"?
Q. I have a German Shepherd pup(who by the way does great in her crate now, thanks to all that helped), and I was wondering if the notorious GSD stance could be taught or is it something that just comes naturally to them? I see pictures of pups that are weeks old already doing that stance. How can I have my pup stand like that sometimes? If they are taught, how can I teach mine?
Asked by Courtney S - Fri Nov 2 15:40:03 2007 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments

A. 1. you need a lead that is just under his jaw and ears not around his lower neck. you hold the lead straight up so his head and neck are up 2. you need to separate his back legs by tapping them or lightly moving them back so the stance is as you like it 3. always say good dog as you do this. everytime he moves, you move him back and say good dog then maybe give him a bitesize treat. 4. continue this until he starts to do it on his own. 5. don't forget to repeat the name you will use to get him to stand the way you want him to. link below had e-mail you can ask a pro.
