<p>Have you ever wondered how rescue dog training worked?  After all, they are able to find victims, regardless as to whether they are alive or dead, whenever a tragedy or disaster strikes.</p>

<p>There are some <a href="http://www.doghealthproblems.org/doghealthproblems28.php" target="_blank">Healthy Dog</a>s who have a magnificent sense of smell.  Since they are smaller than humans, they can also penetrate small areas where humans cannot reach.  All of this, combined with their rescue dog training, makes them well worth the praise they get.  This is especially true because they think that this work is fun.</p>
<p>An important part of rescue dog training is teaching these dogs to be focused on the task at hand, regardless of what else may be going on around them.  Of course, different breeds of dogs are better able to do this.  For this reason, different dogs have different jobs.  A Bloodhound is renowned for their ability as a search dog while Newfoundland’s are used in avalanche rescues and <a class="zem_slink" title="Labrador Retriever" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrador_Retriever">Labrador Retrievers</a> are the absolute best cadaver dog in the world.  You will also find that <a class="zem_slink" title="German Shepherd Dog" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd_Dog">German Shepherds</a>, Belgian Malinois and <a class="zem_slink" title="Golden Retriever" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Retriever">Golden Retrievers</a> are also very good at tracking and following scents.</p>
<p>It is highly recommended that <a href="http://www.doghealthproblems.org/doghealthproblems17.php" target="_blank">Pregnant Dog</a>s who love to play participate in rescue dog training because they will do anything to receive a reward.</p>
<p>How Rescue Dog Training Works</p>
<p>Rescue dog training focuses upon a dog’s sense of smell.  With their sense of smell they are able to pick out a target odor amongst millions of different odors.  So, whenever a dog is tracking a person, it will focus upon the scent of skin cells that come off of the human body.  They can even be sensed in the water in cases of drownings.  In rescue dog training these dogs are trained to sniff the air and follow the scent to find the victim.</p>
<p>Of course there are other things that a rescue dog is trained to look for.  In rescue dog training and <a href="http://www.doghealthproblems.org/doghealthproblems08.php" target="_blank">Dog Excercising</a>, a dog is also trained to take the right position so that the rescue can be executed.  From there, a dog must also learn how to use everything that is has been trained to do as a single exercise.  Another important part of rescue dog training is for the human to learn how to read the dog&#8217;s eyes.  Since a dog&#8217;s eyes can be very expressive it can also read the handler&#8217;s mood.  This is 1 of the many non-verbal signals that a dog will learn during its rescue dog training.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>German Shepherd Problems</h2>
<p>A German Shepherd is an intelligent and loyal dog that becomes very attached to its human family and very protective.  A well-trained and well-loved German Shepherd can be the best pet you will ever see and it can bring you a lifetime of love and joy.  An improperly trained German Shepherd will have problems that can be both unpredictable and dangerous if not dealt with.  If you do not have time to dedicate to a dog then do not get a German Shepherd.</p>
<div class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged">
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 212px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:117_17961_180606.JPG"><img title="German Shepard" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/117_17961_180606.JPG/202px-117_17961_180606.JPG" alt="German Shepard" width="202" height="131" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>

<p>The German Shepherd breed of dog was first domesticated in Europe over one hundred years ago and it was bred to help herd animals in Europe.  That is where the German Shepherd gets its name.  But this <a class="zem_slink" title="Herd behavior" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior">herding instinct</a> can go horribly wrong if it is not first corrected by a responsible owner, who knows how to care for their dog.  It is important to make sure your German Shepherd does not display its natural herding instincts at any time.</p>
<p>A German Shepherd can learn to socialize very easily as long as it is taught at a very early age to socialize with other animals and people.  A <a class="zem_slink" title="German Shepherd Dog" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd_Dog">German Shepherd dog</a> craves a social atmosphere and they love to be around people so if you take the time to socialize your dog with other animals and other people you can easily eliminate this problem that seems to have grown into a huge myth that Shepherds hate other animals.  A <a href="http://www.mypetkingdom.info/freebies/5-dog-training-myths-free-book">properly trained German Shepherd</a> can interact very nicely with other animals and strangers as well.</p>
<p>Your German Shepherd will need a lot of exercise, it will want to constantly be in motion and it needs a job to do.  That job can be as simple as to be in training to be the family dog but that requires hours of attention each day from everyone in the family and also a lot of empty outside space for your dog to run in.  A bored German Shepherd will resort to its natural instinct to hunt and herd and that can lead to nothing but a lot of trouble.</p>
<p>Another of the <a href="http://german-shepherd-lover.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">German Shepherd problems</a> that people are not usually told about is that this breed of dog sheds a lot.  If you do not want to have to groom your pet everyday and then also deal with hair all over the place then maybe a German Shepherd is not for you.  This is not just a winter or summer thing, they shed all year long and they shed a lot.  So if you have an allergy to pet hair, or you just do not want to be constantly vacuuming up pet hair, then stay away from a German Shepherd.</p>
<p>A properly trained German Shepherd makes a great pet but you will need to spend a lot of time with it.  Their superior intelligence makes them very easy to train and it also makes them a great watchdog.  But they can get a little over protective so you will need to teach your German Shepherd its boundaries.  Luckily for you it really wants to learn what you have to teach it.</p>
