German Shepherd Handbook by Michael Tapscott Introduction

The good thing about this book of course is that Michael Tapscott has owned several German Shepherds himself. This should be a minimum requirement for any authority on the subject.

In this book he interviews breeders, some of the most respected importers the world over. He also talks to vets and professional dog trainers. This is a very broad spectrum of experts and the quality of the references really stood out for us.

It doesn't matter if your GSD is a puppy or an old boy or girl now, there is help and advice for all ages.

Set into easy to read chapters. It also has a 100% money back guarantee so purchasing this book for training your dog is risk free.

Our Comprehensive Rating

Overall Assessment - 4.5/5

We found this book to have everything we would like to see for GSD care and training. Each section was well written and at the end of the book, we couldn't think of anything essential Michael Tapscott had left out.

Readability - 4.5/5

It was easy to read with each section made clear with nothing being too challenging to learn, yet very helpful.

Useful Knowledge - 4/5

We have witnessed the knowledge being passed onto a GSD by a customer who has read the book and the proof was there to be seen. A well behaved dog with a very knowledgeable owner.

Reliability of Information - 5/5

Having studied GSD and read numerous articles as well, we can safely say that the reliability of the information stands up well. It has all the key information you would expect to find from an expert in the breed.

It actually goes beyond our expectations. Despite having a lot of interactions with this breed and knowing a lot about them, there were still plenty of sections that had new ideas and things we hadn't thought of.
