Reviews From German Shepherd Owners:

“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. Throughout, breeders from the UK & USA give their combined wit & wisdom on EVERY aspect of German Shepherds alongside a very objective & informative author… if I had bought it 18 months ago, I would have saved a heck of a lot of money on other useless titles,”

“My older parents recently purchased a German Shepherd several months after they lost their 13-year-old GS. They have owned other German Shepherds, but puppy is different. First of all, he is huge & still growing. He's easy to train & super boisterous. Smart & stubborn. This book is just what they needed & they are so grateful. It is able to provide some solutions to problems, suggestions of what can be done, & how to prevent some other bad habits from forming,”

“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!”

“Five stars. A comprehensive book that I would highly recommend to anyone who admires this unique breed. The book is easy to read & enjoyable. I will reference the health & diet sections & use the exercises & activities with my current German Shepherd Dog to keep her mentally stimulated & happy throughout her life,”

CLAIRE JOHNSON, UK

“My husband & I were a full year into owning a GSD before getting this book, & it was still immensely helpful. We already "understood" our dog & knew the nuances of the breed, but we were still very impressed with this book & learned quite a bit more. I think this should be a must-read before getting a GSD. It will help you build an even better relationship with your dog!”

“I highly recommend this book! I own many GSD books but this book includes the most recent information from understanding the GSD breed to training & caring for your GSD once you bring your pup home. The author clearly defines the characteristics & temperament of this breed as well as guides you through the stages of puppyhood. This book is packed full of useful information for every German Shepherd owner,”

“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 & I was a novice GS owner but an experienced dog handler. It’s a must-read,”
