Best dog treats hoovers according to redditors

WTF yes they do. Have you never been around cows before? You can buy them as chew toys for your dog.

I am not a trainer so take this with a grain of salt (I am training my own SD currently with assistance of a trainer, though). I'd definitely recommend clicker training, too.

For puppies, I'd start out feeding them out of your hand (to prevent resource guarding) and then transition to a bowl in your lap. Or feed him in a kong in his crate (put some water in a serving of dry food, mix it and freeze it in the kong). Be sure when you crate him to give him lots of teething and chew toys (no stuffed animals because they could be torn up), no rope toys (because they could be swallowed and make him sick), and no squeaky toys (for obvious reasons). Give him positive association with the crate (throw treats in and around it, feed him in it, put chew toys in it, etc) Be sure to let him outside enough during the night (since he's so young) but don't let him out every time he barks or he will think every time he barks, he gets to leave. For things to chew, I'd recommend any type of chew toy, split antlers, hooves, and benebones. (Don't do rawhides, though)

I'd recommend doing a lot of socializing and building your bond at this point (especially since he's a GSD, if he's not socialized enough he could become protective of you). Get him used to traveling in a car. Touch all over his body and get him used to being touched (for grooming purposes). Do a puppy socialization class if you can. Carry him into pet friendly stores and get him used to lots of situations & have good meetings with strangers and let them pet him. Get into a routine. Feeding, exercising, crating, etc. all at the same time every day. Don't let him sleep in your bed at a young age. While he's still potty training, crating is essential. And make sure he can walk on a loose leash (and use training collars to help with this if you want to).

Start with basic obedience (come, sit, down, stand, stay, etc.) and do a lot of self control training. I'd keep him on a leash at all times. What I do with my dog is give her a "place" that she stays on all the time when we're at home and not playing or exercising (and she's on a leash too but I'd recommend getting some type of tether instead to keep him in his place). This teaches them to settle. Reward being calm and work on waiting (like drop a treat and they have to wait for you to say "okay!" and waiting to go through doors, etc.). Do not let him get into behaviors like jumping on people or counter surfing.

Then after all of that is solid (and he's older), do a lot of PA training. Then work on task training. Here is a good video on medical alerts. I don't know if seizure alert training is similar to other medical alerts but I hope that the video is helpful.

For training help, I'd recommend this YouTube channel.

> I wouldn't register him if he wasn't ready or able to do it though.

I don't know where you live but in the US, there's no such thing as registering.

Some dogs also do well with hooves, but unfortunately that hasn't always been my experience. Just the same, these look like a good deal for the price.. Same with himalayan dog chews; they upset my guys' stomachs, but I've had other dogs do well with them in the past.

Good luck!

Hooves! I think they’re cow hooves; I get them at my local independent pet store but I’ve also seen them many other places. Similar to https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KC681BW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rG2IBbCQJTDPM
