Our family raised a German Shepherd Dog Guide Dog puppy. For a year and a half it seemed our life revolved around the dog. This book was recommended to us by the Guide Dog leader and it was the best book I have ever read on dog training, and I have read many. As strange as it sounds, by the time you are half way through this book you feel as if you and your dog actually understand each other. I have been around dogs all my life, but this Shepherd is the best behaved and best trained I have ever had ... Thanks to this book.
20 years later, STILL the best dog training book availalable June 20, 1998

Read this book BEFORE you get your puppy. Then read it while you are training, and follow their advice exactly. You will be rewarded with a well behaved, well adjusted animal who is a joy to be around. We used ONLY this manual to train our labrador retriever, and even now, 11 years later, people comment on his extraordinary personality. A must-have for dog owners!
Interesting and very informative June 18, 1998

The Monks of New Skete share incredible insite into the nature of our canine friends. This is more than a how-to book, its also a why-to book! Their training advice makes sense, and it works. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in getting a puppy. However, its also great for owners who want to improve the relationship they have with older dogs.
for new owners who want the best training for their dog. June 9, 1998

I used this method (as far as possible) for two 8 week old Lab pups. They are well mannered and obedient, but also personality plus and loyalty personified. Best tip: everyday massage, results in trusting, calm dogs. Medicating/emergency care is a breeze because of dog's comfort and trust. Especially with big dogs, control and trust are big issues.

If you only have room for one dog book, this is the one to get. With a common-sense approach to understanding dogs, it is the best one for the average dog owner.
