Training instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for inexperienced dog owners like me! Throughout the book you will find various facts about the breed which although are not relevant to raising your dog, make very interesting reading. This book is a great start for people wishing to learn about the breed, although it is not written with experienced dog owners in mind. A little lacking in content, although it covers all the important areas, and is inexpensive. Also contains some beautiful photographs. A must for first time dog owners considering choosing a German Shepard.
