great book,

This review is from: Training Your German Shepherd (Training Your Dog) (Paperback)
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!

Training Your German Shepherd Dog,
By A Customer
This review is from: Training Your German Shepherd (Training Your Dog) (Paperback)
I recently bought my first German Shepherd Dog and didn't really know anything about the breed. This book filled me in on the details of owning a German Shepherd,and gave me many tips on how to train her. I think that my puppy and I will get along much better having read this book.

Best dog book I've ever read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Training Your German Shepherd (Training Your Dog) (Paperback)
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!
