ATTENTION: If you own a German Shepherd (or are about to get one), this is going to be one of the most exciting letters you’ll ever read:
“This Information-Packed Handbook Will Teach You Everything You’ve Ever Wanted To Know About German Shepherd Dogs…
You’ll Learn How To Get That ‘Best Friend’ Relationship With Your GSD, That Most Dog Owners Can Only Dream Of Having!”
From the desk of Michael Tapscott
Let me ask you a question… Did you get the “owners manual” the day you chose your German Shepherd?
No?
I’ve been in contact with many German Shepherd dog owners over the years, and I’ve realized that most actually need one! 😉
Hi, my name is Michael Tapscott and I’ve owned and trained GSDs on and off for close to thirty years, so I have a lot to tell you about this wonderful breed.
Listen:
As I’m sure you know, each dog breed is unique, and the German Shepherd is not an exception. The German Shepherd is among the most popular of all breeds, most likely for its loyalty and courage…
But most owners don’t realize how much attention, training, love and firm guidance is needed to get their dog to develop these characteristics.
That’s why I’ve spent months and months researching, writing and interviewing German Shepherd trainers, vets, importers, dog owners and well-known breeders to compile the ultimate German Shepherd Handbook.
This Book Will Be Your Complete Guide To Choosing, Understanding, Training & Caring For Your GSD
You’ll learn everything from how to choose the right German Shepherd and housebreak it, to the history of the breed and how to train your dog to obey your every command…
Imagine being able to get your German Shepherd to listen to you anywhere you go… Wouldn’t that be nice?
What about knowing that your dog is perfectly happy and healthy because you know exactly how to exercise, socialize and feed your dog?
Wouldn’t it be great if you could teach your German Shepherd to stop biting and chewing everything in sight?
Can you imagine how great you’ll feel when you know that your dog loves you as much as you love him or her?
And what if you could train your GSD to get rid of bad behaviours and obey your every command?
When you ask him to come to you, he does.
When you ask him to sit and stay, he does.
When you’re out for a walk and come to a street crossing, your dog sits patiently at the curb, and waits to heel by your side across the street.
In fact, all of this will come true for you once you know the secrets.
This book covers everything there is to know about German Shepherds,
And It’s Not Like Any Other Book You’ve Ever Read On GSDs
You won’t find anything like it anywhere. Not in the bookshop, not in the pet store, not at the library – not even on the Internet.
Why?
It’s simple: No one has ever gone through the entire research process that has taken me over 9 months to complete.
During my dog rescue volunteer work I read pretty much every worthy book out there on German Shepherds. But when I decided to finally write my own book, I wanted to find some GSD “insider information” as well…
So I tracked down and did interviews with a world-renowned professional dog trainer, two vets, three of the most well-respected breeders and importers, and every GSD owner I knew asking for tips and advice on just about anything related to German Shepherd Dogs.
With all the work I’ve put into this, you’re truly getting the most complete German Shepherd book you’ll ever find:
*German Shepherd Handbook is a digital product and images are for visualization purposes only.
And the most unique thing about this book is that every section of it is there because
“You Asked For It!”
Well, not you exactly.
But from live questions.
Questions coming from people all over the world who really love German Shepherds and wanted to know how to get a more happy, healthy and well-behaved dog.
A simple web page was set up, and people just like you visited it and left me their most pressing questions about German Shepherds.
And then I answered them!
Which means no fluff or boring filler – Just the real answers that you want to know.
You’ll discover many exciting tips and secrets in the German Shepherd Handbook – Everything from how to find and choose the right German Shepherd and housebreak it, to how to avoid health problems and train your dog to be able to get along with other people and animals.

“I found your section on training so helpful. My puppy responded exceptionally well to the chapter on biting and i have no more bruises and bites”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed your book and emails.
The orderly manner in which you have presented your information has made it very easy to follow. The instructions are clear and have been so successful.
My German Shepherd is becoming more well-behaved as the days pass and I follow your directions. She is a pleasure to train now as I can understand why I am doing certain things and how she is thinking.
I found your section on training so helpful. My puppy responded exceptionally well to the chapter on biting and i have no more bruises and bites.
I re-read the book constantly and follow your advice. I was really dreading Zoe’s first year as I know how distractive and unruly puppies can be but with your book it has only been a pleasure having this 5 month old.
Thank you so much for such an interesting valuable book!”

“Thank you for your writings. I found your book helpful and interesting as well as gaining more knowledge of the breed I deal with daily”
“I am a longtime breeder and trainer of German Shepherds and found your book to be helpful in a couple or areas. It is always good to learn what others teach and others training techniques.
The history information was awesome. The development of the breed and its temperament being of German working lines vs. American lines was helpful although I already knew these facts, your explanation made this more clearly understandable.
I have smooth-coated and plush-coated GSD’s and found your description of others news to me. But I hadn’t heard of the plush coat until we had 3 in one litter. I have not heard some of the colors either, but there’s always something for everyone to learn.
Thank you for your writings. I found your book helpful and interesting as well as gaining more knowledge of the breed I deal with daily. We have enjoyed this breed much more than any other we’ve had. The German Shepherd Dog is definitely one that stands alone in its qualities, intelligence, versatility and loyalty. You have held up this breed to its true standards.”

“I strongly recommend the German Shepherd Handbook by Michael Tapscott to all GSD owners!”
“The German Shepherd Handbook has been very helpful in introducing me to the care of my two GSDs, Puppy a standard female and Tiger a long hair male. I have acquired both at age 2 months. Now they are 10-month old and I believe quite large in sze (30-35 kg), yet they look slim and not obese.
Both have done well in basic training and socialization. I have accomplished this almost entirely with the help of the information provided in your book. The book has also enlightened me on the history of the breed and its potential health problems. I strongly recommend the German Shepherd Handbook by Michael Tapscott to all GSD owners!”

“I can’t wait to try out the tips and advice on my dog”
“I bought the German Shepherd Handbook to help me better understand the breed. I am planning on getting a dog soon. I am glad that this book has the information that I need to help me raise and look after my future dog. I can’t wait to try out the tips and advice on my dog. Thanks a lot Michael!”

“Thanks for a great book!”
“There is soooo much information in this book, so it would be hard to pick one thing I like best! 🙂
I am 55 years old and have had German Sheperds in my life since the age of three but this book gave me a lot of insights that I did not know.
Thanks for a great book!!!”

“I really hope other parents of German Shepherd Dogs will read this book”
“My Thanks to Michael for a fascinating read. I didnt really know the background to the breed and it was extremely helpful in understanding my babies Fae and Thor.
They are 5 months old now and I have used the techniques Michael suggested in particularly with the barking, nipping and such like.
The pups are very quick to learn and my only hurdle now is the continue to work on the come here or here (cant decide which word yet!). The walking away option does the trick.
Thanks again, I really hope other parents of German Shepherd Dogs will read this book and get as much enjoyment as i have! Each day is a new learning curve.
🙂 woof Nicky, Fae and Thor.”

“I already can see the changes in my dogs behaviour!”
The German Shephard Handbook is very informative. I now have a lot more understanding about the GSD breed.
The book reads very well and I’m enjoying training my GSD using the handbook. I already can see the changes in my dogs behaviour! And both my dog and I have bonded a lot more.
The future is looking great as my GSD is my best pal.
Thanks for a great book.

“Your book guided me to teach my dog to behave and be the dog I had envisioned”
“When I thought of owning a German Shepherd, I thought of a beautiful, obedient dog that sat calmly and was a great companion for the entire family. This vision came from the German Shepherds I would see work with police or just walking with their owner.
Well, when we got our German Shepherd puppy, she grew very quickly and yes she was beautiful, but to my surprise, the rest needed a lot of work!
Finding the German Shepherd Handbook helped me to understand our dog and why she was behaving the way she was. Your book guided me to teach my dog to behave and be the dog I had envisioned. This handbook is a must have for German Shepherd owners. The lessons are quick, and the results have been outstanding!”

“If you want to know anything about German Shepherds, ask Michael Tapscott!”
“I got the German Shepherd Handbook as I wanted to get the skills and knowledge updated on how to handle a dog. I had White GSDs in Africa but none of them were working dogs. My new dog is a guide dog and I wanted him to have the best start with me.
The thing that impressed me is Michael’s immense knowledge of the German Shepherd – starting with the history of the breed right through to grooming tips.
In many countries, the German Shepherd has had a bad reputation given to him through the press but a good understanding of the breed and knowing a good dog’s temperament will allay all these fears. Also, what I liked is Michaels continuous encouragement for the dog owner to play with the dog, he goes through a whole range of different types of toys and gives you good basic training tips for a new dog, i.e. stops the dog jumping on your clothes, your furniture and how to prevent soiling.
He also knows the dog from an anatomical point of view and he can point out illness and early detection of disease. Prevention is often better than the cure!
I contact Michael regularly for advice on my German Shepherd and his enthusiasm and passion proves to me that he is a professional in his field of expanding our knowledge of the German Shepherd. If you want to know anything about German Shepherds, ask Michael Tapscott!!”
