Too Generic

Most of the information you can find in videos/ web searches on line and on YouTube.

Great information!

Clear and interesting. I wasn’t expecting is to be such a good listen. Highly recommend.

the incomplete book

pros: there is a lot of good surface value information that can lead a reader or listener to the research with a more defined way to get there.
the author obviously owns danes, and has a pragmatic approach to providing information.
he is balanced in his opinion and leaves bias out of it.
there is also a lot of good solid information provided that can help out new puppy and dog owners.

cons:
The narration quality is poor. I commend the author for narrating his own book, but the audio quality and his emotionless and repetitive speech patters make it difficult to listen to.

More importantly, the book is labeled with the word "complete". This word should be left off the title. this book is a starter at best.
while good advice abounds in this book, there are many key points that are missing and moreso, the points that are made, are very rarely extrapolated so as to serve as a complete diagram.

;tldr
This book is a primer, and leaves a large amount of context out. Narration is low quality. Good book for people who have never owned dogs.

Not worth it

Very generic. Don’t bother. And in conflict with many. I wouldn’t waste my time. Pick another
