When training the German Shepherd to hold something, you can first choose a quieter place, then hold the German Shepherd's favorite toy in your hand, then shake it in front of it, and then throw it out. It will instinctively pounce on the moving object.
So parents can give the "go" command at this time. When the German Shepherd holds something in its mouth and returns to its parent, give the "fetch" command and reward it. If the German Shepherd does not let go at this time, then the parents can let the German Shepherd sit down, which can reduce its excitement, and then try to find a way to take the thing out of its mouth.
Some German Shepherds may be reluctant to look for things. This is because they are not very enthusiastic about this training. Therefore, parents can shake the toys in their hands to attract them and stimulate them to hold them. . Once it grabs the toy in your hand, immediately let go and then pat its head to praise it.
One thing that parents need to pay attention to is that if the German Shepherd is unwilling to hold something in its mouth, never forcefully stuff something into its mouth, otherwise it will make it feel disgusted.
