How do you get a German Shepherds ears to stand up?

Some ears simply need time to prick up on their own. However, if you are concerned that they will not stand on their own, there is a trick you can use. (Don't laugh.) Take tampon tubes and feed his ears into them. Then use adhesive tape to wrap the tubes and secure them in place. Remove the tubes every few days to let the ears breathe and check on their progress. Repeat as necessary.
