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 & I were a full year into owning a GSD before getting this book, & it was still immensely 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…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 & I was a novice GS owner but an experienced dog handler. It’s a must read,”” APM, US “My parents recently purchased a German Shepherd several months after they lost their 13-year-old. They have owned other German Shepherds, but a puppy is different. This book is just what they needed. It’s giving them a fresh perspective on what to do with this new guy,”” DIERDRE, USA The Full Colour German Shepherd Handbook ASIN B086PTDZP3, with over 100 colour photos, is also available from Amazon. – ASIN: B0863TW44K | ISBN13: 9798627765228 | ISBN-13: 979-8627765228
