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.
The one to buy May 19, 1998

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.
For those who wish to understand dogs, this book is a must! December 31, 1997

This book provides all dog owners - new and old - with important information about all facets of dog ownership. From picking the right pup and handling the early years to coping with the illness of the senior canine - this book covers everything, and is a useful lifelong reference. The Monks provide excellent insight into the thought process of the dog. It is this information which has allowed them to successfully train so many working and companion animals. The reader will find this important information useful in learning to be their dog's best friend. If dogs could read, they all would want their masters to have this book! Mine are glad it's on our shelf! Woof!
