Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book, February 23, 2004

By	F. L. Busch (Reno, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Training Your German Shepherd Dog, October 4, 2001

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best dog book I've ever read!, February 10, 2003

By A Customer

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!

2.0 out of 5 stars dissapointed
While the book has a lot of good advice , IMHO too much is dedicated to specialized training (rescue, work, etc.); basic training tips are mentioned in a minimalistic way. Read more
