Schutzhund club is the best place to start. You'll learn more about the breed and your dog. It will teach you all about obedience and your dogs personal abilities and drives. With this said, i highly recommend you to find a schutzhund club and at least watch and talk to people from a club about gsd cause a lot of dogs are not up for protection and with help from knowledgeable helpers you can find out where your pup stands and if it possesses the drives to get you where you want to be. In other words some dogs are meant to track,some do agility the best,some do obedience better than others,some are a great house dog, but a select few will have the straight up drive to eat your rear up and do it calmly and not fearfully. Please do not use YouTube as a training tool,it's great for somethings but not training a gsd in protection. It's cool to see certain things and video clips but you can ruin a dog if you train protection without the proper equipment and experienced help.
