30-minute training DVD contains bonus material specifically for your German Shepherd Dog! Dog behavioral trainer Peggy Moran shows you how properly training your German Shepherd makes your best friend a Happy Healthy Pet for life.
To know a German Shepherd Dog is to love a German Shepherd Dog--those upright ears, piercing eyes that can see into your soul, that shiny black saddle sitting above sturdy, yet graceful, legs. It's no wonder the German Shepherd is one of the most popular breeds on the planet.
Packed with full-color photographs, this fun and practical guide gives you everything you need to make your relationship with your best friend even better. Inside, you'll find:
Characteristics to look for when choosing a German Shepherd.
A list of supplies you'll need before you bring her home.
Advice on grooming, feeding, and training.
A reproducible pet-sitter chart to keep track of important information.
A bonus DVD shows you that educating your German Shepherd positively is easier and more fun than you think. You'll learn how to teach your furry friend basic commands and tricks, correct inappropriate behaviors, and understand her unique personality.
