| Virtually every aspect of training is covered, including housebreaking and paper training, basic obedience, teaching the animal to obey both verbal commands and hand signals, retrieving, and walking on a leash. Also covered are humane methods of breaking a dog's bad habits, such as begging, jumping on people, unnecessary barking, and biting or showing other forms of aggressive behavior. Training the German Shepherd dog begins with praise and other associative learning methods. The author advises owners on setting realistic goals. Filled with instructive full-color photos. |

 great book |

| I think this is a great source of info for training your GSD. It also deals with breed history and proper care, it's not all training. If I were to choose just one book to deal with all aspects of the GSD this would be it. Lots of pictures and lots of info. I also got the Boxer training book and was kind of expecting a lot of the information to overlap, but it didn't. It was written by a Boxer lover, not just some dog lover. I've had two German Shepherds in the past, and am about to get another and everything in the book seems spot on. I've got to correct a lot of mistakes I've made in the past after reading this book! |
Best dog book I've ever read!

| Complete guide to buying and training a German Sheperd, or any other dog. More information then the average person wants but you get to pick and choose. Buying and early training sections are outstanding. This is the only dog book you need! |
A good informative book

| I wanted to have my first dog. But I wasn't sure which breed. So I decided to do some research on breeds like mastiff, rotweiler, doberman, german shepard, labradors and terriers. I bought one book on each breed (I mentioned). This book I bought for doing some research on german shepard. This is a very good informative book specially for people who want to have their first guard dog. It has explained the breed in easy and detailed way. I would recommend this to anyone who want to go in for german shepard or just want to reserch on this breed. Pictures are quite good specially of the puppy. |

| I bought this book based on other recommendations on your website. It is just as recommended. My husband doesn't care much to read long, complex training manuals. He read this one, though, and he uses the instructions daily! |
