I 've raised and trained German Shepherds for the past 25 years, and am really impressed with the book TOP WORKING DOGS: A TRAINING MANUAL. I highly recommend it to anyone who plans on training a puppy or dog in tracking, obedience or protection work. Whether you're a person who just plans to train a pup basic manners and obedience for around the house, or if you're a top trainer, - I suggest you read this book! It covers all the phases of training and explains how to start puppies at a young age (which I thoroughly agree with) . The book is very easy to understand for a young or inexperienced trainer, yet it provides a lot of very good information for the experienced trainer or someone who wants to make a top working dog. Not only are problems that you may run into confronted, but several good solutions are given for each problem. All three areas of training- tracking, protection and obedience, - are thoroughly covered and are well illustrated. There are a lot of methods talked about in this book which I have never read before and that are very good. You can use this book to start training your puppy and it will take you through advanced training. It is refreshing to read a top training manual that is not heavy or boring - there are even some cute jokes in it! I like the author's psychological principles , too, - and if you follow his instructions you'll not only have a top tracking, obedience and protection dog, but will have a very meaningful relationship with your dog. On top of that, the whole training process will be enjoyable for you and your dog. I've learned some good training methods myself from this book and I always recommend it to anyone who buys my puppies, if they're interested in training.
