GSD Tip of The Day

Teach your German Shepherd to find their own leash for an engaging activity before a walk

Teaching your German Shepherd to find their own leash can transform your pre-walk routine into an engaging and stimulating activity. This not only keeps them active but also sharpens their problem-solving skills.

Start by hiding the leash in a designated area, allowing your dog to watch you place it there. Use a cue word like "leash" to associate the term with the object. Gradually increase the difficulty by hiding the leash in more challenging spots around the house.

Encourage your dog with positive reinforcement. When they successfully locate the leash, reward them with treats or praise. This method not only makes them excited for walks but also builds their confidence and enhances your bond.

Incorporating this fun activity into your routine can make walks more enjoyable for both you and your German Shepherd, ensuring they are mentally and physically stimulated.

Trivia Answer

C) Bacterial Plaque Buildup 

The primary cause of dental disease in German Shepherds is bacterial plaque buildup. This accumulation of bacteria leads to gingivitis, periodontal disease, and other dental issues if not managed properly. Regular dental care is crucial to prevent these problems, as the unique dental structure of German Shepherds can make them more susceptible to plaque.

While genetics, lack of chew toys, and diet (like eating hard kibble) can play roles in dental health, the direct cause of dental disease is primarily associated with the presence of plaque. Owners should implement a routine that includes brushing their dog's teeth and providing dental chews to help mitigate plaque formation.
