Your German Shepherd Puppy Month-by-Month provides readers with everything they need to know and do at each stage of development to make sure their playful, energetic puppy grows into a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted companion. Expert authors Liz Palika, vet Deb Eldredge, and breeder Joanne Olivier team up to cover all the questions new owners tend to have and many they don't think to ask, including: What to ask the breeder before bringing your puppy home. Which vaccinations your puppy needs and when to get them. How to make potty training as smooth (and quick) as possible. What do to when your puppy cries at night. Why and how to crate train your puppy. When socialization should happen and how to make sure it does. When your puppy is ready to learn basic commands-like Sit, Stay, and Come-and the best way to teach them. When and how to go about leash training. How much exercise your puppy needs to stay physically and mentally healthy. What, how much, and when to feed your puppy to give him the nutrition he needs without the extra weight he doesn't. When your puppy is ready for obedience training and how to make sure it works. How and how often to bath your puppy, brush his coat, clip his nails, and brush his teeth. How to know what requires a trip to the vet and what doesn't. What causes problem behaviors, when to expect them, and how to correct them. Review: Great book for 1st time GSD owners - I've just got this book early today, and now I can't stop reading it. As a first time GSD owner myself, I found this book he extremely easy and fun to read. The information is just about right amount and answers every question I have. It also explores and analyzes the canine psychology for their normal and bad behaviors as they development through the life span. After you understand puppy psychology, you don't even need to memorize the solution to correct a specific unwanted behavior, the solution just comes up to you automatically. I feel like an dog behavior expert after reading this book, and it definitely helps me become more confident in raising up my puppy. Would recommend this book to all who are new to the GSD breed. Review: Encouraging and practical - Lots of good ideas. I especially liked the suggestions for training. The advice on dealing with puppy frustrations was very timely and needed!

An indispensible guide for people seeking to raise a German Shepherd puppy
Your German Shepherd Puppy Month By Month is an indispensable guide to looking after a German Shepherd Puppy. I never owned a dog when growing up, so was pretty unaware of all the variables involved in raising a puppy, particularly a breed as challenging as German Shepherds. This book ensured that I was able to make an informed decision before making the commitment to buy a puppy and that once I brought her back into my home, I was able to fall back on the book for relevant guidance relating to her specific stage of development. The book is broken down into easily digestible chapters detailing the key developments to look out for and even giving tips on what training should be started in that month. The book is written by an American author, so some points are less relevant e.g. vaccination programmes are different. There are also highlighted bits in ever chapter such as tips and tails and happy puppy, all of which help to find key things which are especially relevant to that month of your puppy's development. I mislaid my first copy of this book on a train and immediately bought a replacement - it was one of the most sensible decisions I made since deciding to get a dog. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Awesome book. Carefully written by an obviously well informed breeder. This is not the kind of book that is just a generic dog book that could apply to any breed. This is very specifically for German Shepherds and informs you of the caracteristics that are proper to the breed, although it is a good tool for any dog owner, regardless of the breed.
