 ALL TIME FAVORITE DOG BOOK ! January 20, 1999

I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE LOVE AND CARING OF THE DOGS FROM THE MINUTE LIFE BEGAN THROUGH THE TRAINING METHODS AND SOCIALIZATION. I HAVE READ MANY BOOKS ON TRAINING AND STILL FEEL THIS IS THE BEST.

Holistic, humane, common sense approach to creating and sharing a pleasant relationship with your dog. No "flavor of the day" training techniques, just good, solid methods. An absolute must-have for all dog owners. Well-written and an interesting read. Does not delve into specific problem areas too deeply, but suggests guidelines to avoid creating behavior problems, and simple, direct methods for dealing with those that arise. Stresses establishing a basis for a mutually-rewarding human-dog relationship. After reading other, more "technical" or "trendy" training books, I always find myself returning to this book for sound, practical advice. I'd give it a 10 star rating out of a possible 5.

As a professional dog trainer I have to say the Monks are right on the mark! Their books are a must read for any and every dog owner. I read them when I first started out and learned more than I thought possible from a book. Read it, Learn it and most importantly Use It!
This is a great book to read before you get your new puppy August 24, 1998

This was a great and informational book that helped me learn about raising a new puppy. It gave me tons of information so that when I got my puppy I was prepared. It is also great for when you want to look up a certain behavior or question you just turn to the back of the book. This is a great book that I recommend for anybody to read before you get a new puppy.
Should be mandatory reading for all new dog owners August 5, 1998

Before I got my first dog 3 years ago I read a number of books on the topic (about 10) and I found that the Monks of New Skete books were the best written, most informative and by far the most helpful when it comes to explaining how dogs learn and think, and what their needs are. I was very concerned before asking a dog to come and live with me that I would not be a "good human". (no experince or information) The Monks of New Skete books provided so much useful information that I can honestly say that "Bringing a dog into my life has been nothing short of wonderful". No surprises, except the happy kind.I am sure that if all prospective dog owners were made to read this material before bringing a dog into their lives there would be fewer abused and/or neglected pooches in the shelters. Just think of this reading material as a "marriage and parenthood preparation course" for all would-be dog owners.
