Training Your German Shepherd (Training Your Dog Series) Reviews
Review by F. L. Busch: 
I think this is a great source of info for training your GSD. It also deals with breed history and proper care, it’s not all training. If I were to choose just one book to deal with all aspects of the GSD this would be it. Lots of pictures and lots of info. I also got the Boxer training book and was kind of expecting a lot of the information to overlap, but it didn’t. It was written by a Boxer lover, not just some dog lover. I’ve had two German Shepherds in the past, and am about to get another and everything in the book seems spot on. I’ve got to correct a lot of mistakes I’ve made in the past after reading this book!
Review by : 
I recently bought my first German Shepherd Dog and didn’t really know anything about the breed. This book filled me in on the details of owning a German Shepherd,and gave me many tips on how to train her. I think that my puppy and I will get along much better having read this book.

The German Shepherd Dog (Terra Nova Series) Reviews
Review by S. Earlywiine:
It has detailed information on every subject of the breed, including history and its differences in other countries. Some of it is generalized information in the training parts and a few other parts but most of all it is all GSD info. It explains many common health concerns and common parasites and how to treat common problems and injuries or what to do if something happens. It has some basic information on more advanced training options like tracking and search and rescue and my copy came with DVD on dog training, though I have yet to watch it, if it was anything thing like the book, it should be good. I would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the breed and to lovers of the breed that couldn’t get enough of GSD.
Review by BOOG:
Although I’m not totally unfamilar with the GSD, this book is very useful and infomative, starting with the history of the GSD, which is pretty interesing, alot of facts I never knew. I owned a GSD 10 years ago, and in 2 weeks, will be the proud owner of a new puppy. I believe reading this book beforehand, I am better prepared in bringing a GSD into our home. I HIGHLY recommed this book to anyone who may be interested in owning a GSD!!

Training the German Shepherd Dog Reviews
Review by Dr. M: 
The methods of training in this book are outdated and are not aligned with acceptable practices of ‘do no harm to the dog’.
There are many ways to train dogs with positive reinforcement other than what is suggested here.
Like some popular personalities who are not using updated behavior techniques, this author misses the mark.
I can’t recall if it was this book or his other one where he HITS THE DOG’S PAWS for jumping on the fence!
There is no need to hit a dog to train it.
Even with beautiful, strong breeds like the shepherd, you can establish respect for humans without “alpha rolls” and dangerous practices like hitting the dog.
I recommend Victoria Stilwell as an author who truly knows modern, positive training methods.
Review by PJ – road warrior:
John Cree is one of the most knowledgable people on German Shepherd dogs, and all his books are phenominally good. His information is right on target, and covers both the great things on GSD, and the challenges of this magnificent breed. Other good books on GSD are by the Monks of New Skete.

The Essential German Shepherd Dog (The Essential Guides) Reviews
Review by : 
Although this book is a little more German Shepherd specific than The German Shepherd Dog by Hegewald & Kawich, it’s still rather basic dog information. It does however, go into a little more depth about training the German Shepherd which is why I kept this book
Review by Jonathan Huckabay:
The essential German Shepherd book: This is the book every person should read before getting a German Shepherd! The absolute cornerstone and beginning place for whatever direction you want to take with you dog, be it Schutzhund, Showing, Family Pet and how to be a responsible German Shepherd Dog owner. If you want to specialize in any of these then buy other books but this one informs you about the history, breed standard, puppy selecting, basic training that all dogs should have and even what health problems the breed has. This is THE manual for the German Shepherd Breed.

The German Shepherd Today Reviews
Review by Sun Star:
I recommend this book to any GSD owner or interested person. It is a great reference book. I have been into German Shepherds 30 years and I still enjoy reading it. It has a wealth of information on German and American lines. It takes you from feeding and socializing a young pup to the caring for your old friend. Learn to read a pedigree, treat your dog for illness, teach him good manners. It’s a “everything you wanted to know about shepherds but didn’t know where to look all in one book”. On the negative side, there are numerous pictures but unfortunatly none in color. I would love to see the different coat colors, ie: sables, black/reds, bi-colored, blacks, whites, and greys. I would also like to see more info on shepherds used for other than conformation or obedience but as service dogs, agility, personal protection, Schutzhund, working, herding, search and rescue, to name a few, as well as how are they used in other countries with accompaning pictures. When all is said and done, this is still a great book, full of information and pictures you won’t find elsewhere. Keep it close at hand, you’ll be referring to it again and again.
Review by Mary Lynn Wakefield:
I am an avid fan of the German Shepherd dog and have a small library of books on the breed. This book holds a place of honor at the top of the stack as one of the most complete breed books I have found. It appears to be an honest appraisal and history of the breed, but with the obvious prejudice of an owner. Her love of her dogs shines through in amost every page. That can easily be fogive. The comparison of the German and American lines is particularly helpful. Ms Strickland’s knowledge of the breed and many years of experience are well known and add to the credibility of her work. Good job, we look forward to the next update.

German Shepherds for Dummies Reviews
Review by K.H.L.:
I’ll tell you why.:
Little story, my husband surprised me with a GS puppy last year when I came back from a weeklong vacation. I did not want a puppy yet because I’ve never owned a dog before and I wanted to do some reading on the subject, especially with a GS. It’s not the kind of breed that you can just buy and say “ok, we have a cute puppy” and that’s it. Every dog deserves a well informed owner. But I ended up using my intuition and common sense to do the majority of training for my dog (who I now love dearly). This book taught me nothing that I hadn’t already figured out on my own. And I must add that there is only about 10% of this book that is actually geared towards GS’s. It’s a very broad based book on how to train a dog, not just a GS. There are many other books out there that will tell you about the breed and what to expect about there intelligience, personality and the AKC standards for this breed. I learned more things browsing through GS magazines at PetSmart. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK !!!! There are MUCH better books about German Shepherds !!!!!!!
Review by Glen M Darlow:
= A Champion ReadAs a German Shepherd owner in northern Ontario, Canada, I found this book of valuable assistance. There is little help in a practical sense for animals in this part of the world, but this book has really helped. Chapters 12 and 13 on pet care are the best chapters in the book: they help you to dedect ailments early on and so you can avoid expensive trips to vets or even losing your loved animal.
Each chapter is clearly set out and has spacing between main paragraphs and sections.It is obvious that this book is written by a true professional: it is thorough, yet not boringly over detailed. It mentions in one chapter about dominant aggression of the dog, but also, as always, goes to the root cause of the problem , which, of course, helps the breeder or owner alike, to be beware and maybe prevent such behaviour from happening in public.As I say, it is a very practical book. It starts with a practical plan of how much it would cost to keep a German Shepherd at your home and then goes on to point out how it would fit in the family, how to house it etc. In another chapter, it gives really good advice on what to do with the “undesirables” such as how to remove a stink from your home to removing ticks from the dog.Beautiful black & white as well as colour photos accompany the chapters.Only a dummie would skip buying this book !Glen M Darlow

The Everything German Shepherd Book: A Complete Guide to Raising, Training, And Caring for Your German Shepherd (Everything: Pets) Reviews
Review by J. Boeger:
I have two GSDs and have read quite a few GSD books. To date, I think that this one is the best. It does not go too in depth about any one topic, but rather gives the main points about about several topics. I also read several tidbits of info that I actually didn’t already know (and I thought I knew it all by now!).
Review by Jenny B.:
I bought several dog books in preparation for my German Shepherd puppy. This by far was the best at giving practical information and advice. It’s in a very easy to read format. And, it’s a great value too! I don’t think any new GSD owner can go wrong with this book. After showing it to my breeder, she even bought her own copy.

Schutzhund: Theory and Training Methods (Howell reference books) Reviews
Review by gsdtown@terracom.net:
There aren’t many books about Schutzhund available in bookstores or on the Web, and so Barwig & Hilliard’s excellent volume must often function both as a manual for serious trainers and an introduction to the sport for the curious. It is in the latter regard that “Schutzhund: Theory and Training Methods” leaves something to be desired. There is no real overview of Schutzhund as a recreational activity, nor is there any well-reasoned explanation of why anyone would want to pursue a Schutzhund career with their dog. A curious non-participant who reads the book would probably decide that Schutzhund is much too arduous and complex to be any fun at all. While Schutzhund certainly is demanding, the rewards of training and owning a Schutzhund-titled dog–the “process”, one might say–is where the joy lies. The authors could have made a much better case in this regard.On the other hand, this book is a gold mine for the serious trainer. While different training directors espouse different methods for schooling dogs in Schutzhund, Barwig and Hilliard consistently advocate time-honored methods in all three Schutzhund disciplines (tracking, obedience, protection) that are neither too trendy nor too harsh. A dog (and handler!) with the basic “equipment” to compete in the sport would not likely go wrong by following any of the advice given here. Considering the bewildering array of training methods that already exist in the Schutzhund world, this is a remarkable accomplishment in itself. And when coupled with the authors’ accessible prose style, this is an important book that should not be overlooked by any Schutzhund trainer–or any curious reader willing to read between the lines.
Review by Dana Williams:
I personally found the book very well focused and extremely helpful when explaining the Sport of Shutzhund. The Author’s opinions were well stated and overall it was a great book on Shutzhund. The only thing is it isn’t exactly a book I would reccommend to a novice to the sport of Shutzhund. The author uses termonolgy that may be hard to follow for some new to the dog world. But it is a great book for people interested in learning more and advancing through the stages of Shutzhund!

With its cocked head, this friendly German shepherd is ready to hear from you! Gentle and well behaved, this beautifully constructed doggy is made of soft, furry fabric with attention to every detail. Measures 31.5″ x 13″ x 8″.
The picture of this stuffed dog looks great and is why I purchased it. However, when I received the dog, the color was orange (not at all like a german shepard) and the ears were flat (probably due to packaging). Also, the nose of the dog was hard like plastic. I was really disappointed and have returned it. It did not look anything at all like the picture.
