 Very Pleased February 10, 2008
This book was recommended by a breeder and has proved to be one of the best dog books I've read. The monks do such a great job and have helped a lot of us to understand our dogs better.
Outstanding Advice January 17, 2008

There are about 170 reviews of this book already on Amazon, so I do not want to take up too much more space with our opinions. My wife and I have the following comments about this great book:
1. Easy to read and apply the information. We have Pekingese dogs and not the large dogs that are cited in the book. Still, the Pekes are quite stubborn and demanding. The techniques advised in this book worked well to train our dogs.
2. Outstanding insight into how your dog thinks. We think the best aspects of this book deal with providing solid insight based on years of experience and fairly good science as to how dogs interact with humans and others. This allows you as the owner to better relate to your dogs and the training/behavioural aspects advised in the book make much more sense and are easier to implement in a consistent fashion.
3. Excellent use of photographs to enhance the text.
4. We have lent our book to at least 2 other people (maybe more) and purchased this book for family members and referred many others to get it for their new dogs. We cannot say enough good things about this wonderful book.
The only puppy book you will ever need December 17, 2007

I have my second copy of this great book, having loaned the first to someone and never getting it back... Being on the verge of aquiring our third German Shepherd, my wife and I haven't raised a puppy in many years, so it was time to re-read the owner's manual. This book is a timeless and definitive tutorial for anyone raising a puppy and beyond. While the instructions and "how-to's" are certainly essential, I find that the philosophy and theory presented throughout is the most valuable part of the book.
If you want to add a four legged friend to your family and wish to have a happy and well adjusted pet (and self) this book is a must. I wish I could afford to buy a dog from the monks of New Skete... but at least I can use their wisdom and guidance. God Bless their work!!
Truly a great book November 13, 2007

This book is literally invaluable to anyone getting a new puppy. I could not recommend it more...it was recommended to me from the breeder of our new pup a few weeks before picking her up and it was by far the best read of the 5 books I purchased on canines. DEFINITELY a great choice.
Very helpful information November 9, 2007
This was so helpful to us before we got our puppy. It's much more comprehensive than other books and the audiobook was a great way to listen in the car. It was a great way to get my kids to listen to a book they would not have sat and read.
