3 out of 5 stars Pretty Basic Book   January 20, 2009
Cmiddl01 (WV)
This was a pretty basic dog training book and not necessarily targeted for GSDs. I understand that you can't categorize dog behavior by breed, but lets be realistic-GSD's are naturally protective and territorial. I wish that this book would have gotten into this a little more.

I did appreciate the information on the hip issues.



5 out of 5 stars Great Book   January 12, 2009
Robert B. Clarke Sr. (Denver, CO)
I really enjoyed this book, full of good information. The best book on German Shepherds I have read so far.


2 out of 5 stars Terrible German Shepherd book!   January 5, 2009
S. Crouch (Evansville, IN USA)
This book is good if you want general advice about dogs. However, if you want to know specific details about the breed then your out of luck. For example, the book doesn't cover taping the ears AT ALL. Which is odd since it's a book about German Shepherds.


3 out of 5 stars Agree with other reviewers   July 19, 2007
Sheepla (North Carolina USA)
I've had this book for two years now and agree with many other reviewers. While the information in the book is helpful in a general sense, the cover picture and title could be changed and it could apply to any dog breed. Really nothing specific about German Shepherds.
