Overall a good book on German Shepards and the different styles of training the breed. The book is more of an overview than a guide on how to train the breed. It does contain some useful pages on manners, house training and basic commands.

I liked this book. It contains lots of good tips on how to educate a GSD. I also enjoyed the many good pictures of GSDs displaying their traits and showing their skills. However, one can follow the advice, attempt to teach the lessons, ask for obedience, beg for mercy, but if the dog wants to follow the car, jump on the cyclist, tear your shirt or hide your socks, he WILL DO IT!! Perhaps I did not pay enough attention to all the details about training, or Bronco has a heart the size of a mountain, capable of expressing immeasurable and unconditional love, plus the strength of a locomotive and the will of bull, but he has proven to be nearly untrainable. He’s quit hiding my socks, but I already gave up on things such as “search and rescue” training. Forget also about “bomb and weapon detection”. I guess I cannot blame Dan Rice’s book...
