f you want a happier, healthier and more well-behaved German Shepherd Dog... then this is going to be the most exciting message you'll ever read...
Here's why:
My name is Michael Tapscott and I've owned several German Shepherds (even a white one once), I have also been a volunteer with a dog rescue organization for years, so I have a lot to tell you about this wonderful breed. Some people have even called me the "German Shepherd Dog Whisperer"... But more about that later.
First, let me ask you a question... Did you get the "owners manual" the day you chose your German Shepherd?
No? I've been in contact with many dog owners (and owners-to-be) over the years and I've realized that most German Shepherd owners actually need one!
As I'm sure you know, each dog breed is unique, and the German Shepherd is not an exception. The German Shepherd is among the most popular of all breeds, most likely for its loyalty and courage. But most owners don't realize how much attention, training, love and firm guidance is needed to get their dog to develop these characteristics.
That's why I've spent months and months of research, interviewing German Shepherd trainers, vets, importers, dog owners and well-known breeders to compile the complete "German Shepherd Handbook"!
"The German Shepherd Handbook Will Teach You Everything
You've Ever Wanted To Know About German Shepherd Dogs!"
Everything from how to choose the right German Shepherd and housebreak it, to the history of the breed and how to train your dog to obey your every command...
Imagine being able to get your German Shepherd to listen to you anywhere you go... Wouldn't that be nice? What about knowing that your dog is perfectly happy and healthy because you know exactly how to exercise and feed your dog?
Wouldn't it be great if you could teach your German Shepherd to stop biting and chewing everything in sight? Can you imagine how great you'll feel when you know that your dog loves you as much as you love him/her? And what if you could train your dog to get rid of bad behaviours and obey your every command?
In fact, all of this will come true for you once you know the secrets.
This book covers everything there is to know about German Shepherds,
"And It's Not Like Any Other Book You've
Ever Read On German Shepherd Dogs"
I'm telling you, the information in this book is not available anywhere else! Not in the bookstore, not in the pet store, not at the library - Not even on the Internet!
Why?
It's simple: No one has ever gone through the entire research process that has taken me over 6 months to complete.
During my dog rescue volunteer work I read every book out there on German Shepherds (I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I probably know more than those authors by now). When I decided to finally write my book I wanted to find some "insider information" about the breed as well...
So I tracked down and did interviews a professional dog trainer, two vets, three of the most well-respected German Shepherd breeders and importers (and every GSD owner I know) asking for tips and advice on just about anything related to German Shepherds.
With all the work I've put into this, you're truly getting the ultimate German Shepherd Handbook.
But the most unique thing about this book is that every section of it is there because "you asked for it". Well, not "you" exactly. But from live questions. Questions coming from people all over the world who really love German Shepherds and wanted to know how to get a more happy, healthy and well-behaved dog. A simple web page was set up, and people just like you visited it and left me their most pressing questions about German Shepherd Dogs.
Then I answered them!
Which means no fluff or boring filler - Just the real answers that you want to know.
You'll discover many exciting tips and secrets in the German Shepherd Handbook, everything from how to choose the right German Shepherd and housebreak it, to the history of the breed and how to train your dog to obey your every command!

"[But Don't Just Take My Word For It] - Check
Out What Some Of My Readers Have Said
About The German Shepherd Handbook"
"When I thought of owning a German Shepherd, I thought of an beautiful, obedient dog that sat calmly and was a great companion for the entire family. This vision came from the German Shepherds I would see work with police or just walking with their owner.
Well, when we got our German Shepherd puppy, she grew very quickly and yes she was beautiful, but to my surprise, the rest needed a lot of work!
Finding the German Shepherd Handbook helped me to understand our dog and why she was behaving the way she was. Your book guided me to teach my dog to behave and be the dog I had envisioned. This handbook is a must for German Shepherd owners. The lessons are quick, and the results have been outstanding!"
