An excellent guide for new buyers, trainers, & breeders!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Raising a Puppy: New Skete Monks (Hardcover)
The breeder we bought our german shepherd puppy from recommended this book to us. I am amazed at the work the Monks of New Skete are doing for the german shepherd breed. My hope is that all breeders would use the New Skete method with their litters. If this were done, then maybe so-called "dangerous breeds" would lose their bad rap. Surely there would be less dogs in animal shelters and pet shops. I can not stress enough the importance of early human socialization, and the Monks of New Skete seem to agree. If you are planning on breeding a litter, I urge you to pick up this book an heed the authors advice. This book also stresses humane training methods, and the importance of positive reinforcement. Using this method has helped with my dominant GSD pup. Constant scolding will get you nowhere. A quick pop on the lead when bad and copious amounts of praise when good makes training a happy occasion for both dog and master. I would recommend the three tape training set "Raising Your Dog With The Monks of New Skete" along with this book. The tapes show the New Skete method from the puppy birth, to training the adult dog, and brings the information together nicely.

Brilliant for the Dominant Dog,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Raising a Puppy: New Skete Monks (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic for raising a dominant pup; I would however offer a word of caution to those with a sensitive puppy, as some of the methods used in disciplining could result in emotional distress resulting in behaviour problems such as submissive urination. The book is FULL of the most helpful information from crate training and house training to the insight into your dog’s life from the very beginning. With that out the way I will say as a behaviourist this is one of the best books on puppy training I have ever read. I also recommend reading the first book written by the monks 'How to be your dogs best friend'. I have recommended this book to so many of my clients that it has reduced expected behaviour problems from occurring, dramatically. These books not only teach you how to train your puppy but how to look through their eyes, understand and really build an unbreakable bond.

5.0 out of 5 stars
the best book on dog raising I've seen,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Raising a Puppy: New Skete Monks (Hardcover)
This is the very best book on raising dogs I've ever read. It is enjoyable and interesting, as well as very informative. I highly recommend it as good reading, even if you are not presently interested in getting a puppy. The monks provide fascinating insights into dog training. Look at their other books also.
