Remember to stand up straight and not to lean forward towards your dog
. Hold your hands low and close to your body. Pull the lead in to make the dog sit. Train your German Shepherd to sit straight and squarely on both hips. Hold the leash tight and gently cuff him on whichever hip is out of line. This exercise is important as every obedience exercise includes the "come-fore" position. Therefore, it is important that the German Shepherd puppy training is done correctly at the very beginning else, your dog will get into habit of doing sloppy work.
