Secrets to Dog Training is the most
comprehensive
resource for training German Shepherds. It is an
unusually detailed and thorough resource written by a seasoned dog
trainer.
While
problem behaviors are covered, the book starts off with a ton of
new owner advice:
how to choose a puppy/dog
best places to get one
breed information
puppy/dog-proofing your home
first vet visit
housetraining a dog tips
and much more
Once the basics are down, it then moves on to
more advanced German Shepherd training tips:
common dog health problems (allergies,
cat/dog
coexistence, fleas, heatstroke, etc.)
advanced commands and tricks
There is also an easy to follow 30-minute
downloadable
video that provides real-life examples for training a German Sheherd
out of bad behavior. And includes solutions and remedies to change them.
Woof!
But, my favorite part of the book was the section on dog whispering.
Daniel Stevens explains the background of this technique, including how
to best use voice and body language and how to use the technique to
calmly, assertively, and effectively correct and train your dog.
An extremely comprehensive program on
training
GSDs, it's price is little
more expensive
at $39.95. But, with so much helpful information, it is well worth that
price.
