REVIEWS:

”I have been an owner of a GSD for 9 years who recently passed away. I am getting a puppy & I am so glad I got this book. Training dogs is ever-evolving as all teaching strategies are. The strategies I used back then are a little different today. This book is a great resource & I now feel ready to welcome home my 8 week old GSD tomorrow! Get this book!” ACE, USA

"My husband and I were a full year into owning a GSD before getting this book, and it was still immensely helpful. We already "understood" our dog and knew the nuances of the breed, but we were still very impressed with this book and learned quite a bit more. The content is very detailed, easy to read/understand, even if you're not an animal expert, and overall very helpful. I think this should be a must-read before getting a GSD. It will help you build an even better relationship with your dog!" GSD FAMILY, USA.

“This book is packed full of useful information for every German Shepherd owner. It guides you through the stages of puppyhood (feeding, potty training, crate training, socializing, etc.) to caring for the older adult dog. There is so much useful information…Don’t hesitate to buy this well written book," SCOTT B, USA

"When I got the book I couldn’t put it down. It had a great overview of the different types of GS with their history as well as their special needs as a breed from diet needs to special training. It’s always helpful to know how to work with your puppy and I was a novice GS owner but an experienced dog handler. It’s a must read," APM, US
