REVIEWS:
"The only book you will need. Honest. This is the BEST book on German Shepherds I have read & I''ve read sooooo many. The German Shepherd Handbook is NOTHING like the others. It''s fantastic. I am so pleased I got this book & if I had bought it 18 months ago, I would have saved a heck of a lot of money on other useless titles," KLYNN, AMAZON VINE VOICE, UK
"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
"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
