Barron's Training Your Dog titles offer breed-specific advice on virtually every aspect of canine training, including housebreaking, obedience to basic verbal commands and hand signals, retrieving, and walking the dog on a leash. These books also discuss humane methods for breaking a dog's bad habits. The German Shepherd is intelligent and a quick learner, which makes him highly trainable.

Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love

Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love Review

Now in paperback, the New York Times-bestselling story of a puppy brought back from the brink of death, and the family he adopted.

In 2002, Larry Levin and his twin sons, Dan and Noah, took their terminally ill cat to the Ardmore Animal Hospital outside Philadelphia to have the beloved pet put to sleep. What would begin as a terrible day suddenly got brighter as the ugliest dog they had ever seen--one who was missing an ear and had half his face covered in scar tissue--ran up to them and captured their hearts. The dog had been used as bait for fighting dogs when he was just a few months old. He had been thrown in a cage and left to die until the police rescued him and the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital saved his life. The Levins, whose sons are themselves adopted, were unable to resist Oogy's charms.

Heartwarming and redemptive, OOGY is the story of the people who were determined to rescue this dog against all odds, and of the family who took him home, named him "Oogy" (an affectionate derivative of ugly), and made him one of their own.

Schutzhund "Top Working Dogs", Training Manual

Schutzhund "Top Working Dogs", Training Manual Review

This is the fifth edition of "TWD", a Schutzhund Training Manual written by the first licensed, FCI accredited German Schutzhund Judge to reside in the US. It is presented in a factual, concise and easily understood manner, a "how-to" book novel and unique in several ways: ** it presents in detail the methods that experts use - but never reveal ** it offers a multitude of approaches for the individual routines ** it lists, for each task, the problems most often encountered, and it suggests a variety of remedies ** it aids the trainer in using psychological principles, by giving descriptions and explanations ** it emphasizes the general components of training which can readily be applied to specific situations in the various branches of the sport of working dogs ** it stresses and explains playful instruction of the young dog ** it introduces fun activities / games for individuals and groups of canines ** it addresses and solves common dog behavior problems which even animal behavior specialists struggle to decipher. Tracking, obedience and protection work are described in this training manual which has found world-wide recognition. It guides experts and novices, even owners of small dogs, with its combination of practice and theory, technique and technology, experience and common sense. The reader would have to pick bits and pieces from thousands of websites and hundreds of books, DVD's, seminars and lectures on the subject to find what is presented here - and he would still come up short by many miles. We offer this book to the general public to make the man/dog relationship more meaningful, and more enjoyable, for both partners.
