how much time do you spend training your GSD?

10 1/2 years or months? I run my ten month old for at least an hour a day, but probably only train for 15 minutes a day since she knows her basics and thats all I need from her

Sorry Molly is 10 1/2 mths old

Some days more than others, it adds up to be about 5 - 7 hours per week. That is counting only actual training time on club days. It also depends on what the weather is like and how many times we get out tracking during the week.

I train my GSD for about 10-20 mins per day plus an hour of training in class once a week.

Same here- some days more time than others naturally, but I try to get in at least 20 mins a day then 1 hr at class once a week. That's in addition to frisbee and a hike in the woods where we practice commands. It's been so brutally hot that I've let it slide some afternoons.

i try to do about 20-30 minutes a day but with my new job thats a little harder to do. Basically whenever i get the chance. meal times. walks.

Same as most above, around half hour in total a day but I also make Molly do sits etc before/ during walks. meals, going out the door etc

Right now I don't go to any classes anymore. I do most of the things myself.

However, there are standard things I do each and every day and that is having them listen to commands before they get the food and to sit before I open a door.

But training itself, three to four times a week because I always give them one day off. I believe that they deserve a break too and you can tell that they need a break after a long hike or a hard day of training.
