I'm in the process in purchasing a GSD puppy. I debating investing in training the pup either as a pup or as a adult. Getting him trained by a professional as a puppy almost cost just as much as an adult. Can anyone tell me if it's really worth the investment of trainng him as a puppy or should I just wait until he is an adult and just do basic sit, down stay type of training myself as a puppy. Can someone recommend an excellent trainer in the Los Angeles area.

Why not join a Schutzhund Club in your area and train there. You can do your pup. Then if you still want someone else to train him when older you will have had a chance to see who any of the club may suggest.

I would love to, the problem is that the nearest club is very far away from me. I also attempted to contact them but never got a replied back.
