Recommended Answer:
your dog isn't a dog- it's a baby. it's the equivalent of a 4 year old child. would you expect your 4 year old human kid to fend off intruders with a gun??
let the dog grow up, and in the mean time, take it to puppy class. when that's over, you can enroll TOGETHER in a class for protection training, of that's what you want to do.
ALWAYS train your own dog- NEVER hire someone to do it for you. it's YOUR dog and you need to train it to respect you and listen to you.
Dog Training Explained
- She will grow up - right now she's a baby.
German Shepherds are extremely intelligent and work-oriented. If she realizes that someone actually wants her to bark, she most likely will when it's time. That would be my guess, anyway. If she doesn't, she may be to soft a dog, and you may need another one for whatever guard work is at hand.
I would never just send a dog out for training - you need to be an active participant and a partner. Not only that, but she is very young, and you need to be extremely careful that someone is not hired to rush her, or treat her harshly - and some training facilities certainly can.
You need to be responsible for her treatment, and be there while it's being done - and be by her side. GSD's are a working partner, not an appliance to be retooled, and very sensitive. Please watch over her. - If any medical issues are ruled out, then you may have a dog who is less barky than others. I say may have, because the dog's behaviors can change between this age and a year old.
You mentioned you are sending the dog off for police training. The best police or guard dogs are ones who have a higher prey drive. I knew a man who professionally trained these dogs. He selected through litters for dogs who showed strong potential. If your dog doesn't have this aptitude naturally, you are not going to get the results you want. That being said, be careful who you send your dog to for this kind of training. Some people use abuse to try and draw out aggressive behavior in a dog. Stay away from these kind of trainers. The trainers should be willing to let you watch how they train. If not, beware.

www.peggyswager.com - IF your puppy doesn't bark yet it may be either due to her young age or that she may have some reason for the delay, check with a vet.
The German Shepard by breeding is a watch dog, she may just be slow to develop that trait in her yet. It will happen if you are patient. If you want to know if this is on track just ask the vet you are using . - She is still a puppy. The only training that she should be having is puppy obedience school, which you should take her to.
Very few dogs will be suitable for Police Force Training and she needs to be evacuated after she has been obedience trained and is older. It is never a good thing to Shutzhund train a family pet. - Sending your dog away for training is not a good move. It's you who needs to learn how to train your dog so you need to be present. Get a trainer in to teach you.
Your dog is a puppy, she'll find her voice in time and then you will wish she would shut up. - Sure it does! You can start with some basic obedience training. Obedience training helps your dog see you as her leader. This, http://dogtime.com/basic-commands-obedie… will get you started.
Have fun! - Has your dog gone to the vet, and had her throat checked out.
