 Great for all puppy owners, also their tapes are marvelous April 7, 1998
I raise guide dogs and refer to their book all the time. They also have video tapes avaiable and they to are marvelous. I have recommended this book to a lot of new puppy owners and they all said it was very helpful.
An indispensible tool for every puppy owner January 21, 1998
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have quite a lot of experience with animals having worked around horses my whole life, as well as having a "collection" of household pets, and I considered myself to be competent in the field of dog ownership. One thing lacking in my background, however, was puppy ownership. I have a beautifully behaved adult dog I adopted from a pound, but decided a puppy was in order to carry on with my adult dog who is now quite advanced in age. Without this book, I really doubt that I would have known how to progress in training a puppy. The Monks of New Skete have a prose style that is a pleasure to read (I couldn't put it down), and their insights into dog behavior make so much sense once they are read, but never are "obvious." I plan on giving a copy of this book to each and every friend and family member who acquires a new puppy regardless of their experience. If you have a new puppy or especially if you are even considering getting a puppy, I urge you strongly to get this book and read it cover to cover -- you will not regret it!
Gives you the information you need to raise a great dog! January 1, 1998
If you want to turn your puppy into your best friend, use the techniques of the New Skete Monks. This book was very well writtent; it brought me laughter and tears while I read. It also provides much needed encouragement for the new puppy owner stressing the vital importance of consistency in the training process. A must for the first-time puppy owner!
Read this book BEFORE getting a dog. November 29, 1997

This book is invaluable. Not only will it teach you how raise your dog, but will also show you how to pick the right dog! That's right, how to pick a puppy that won't turn into some 4-legged-psycho.
Great for Owners of Older Dogs, Too! October 24, 1997
This is a wonderful book that taught me a LOT about my dog, why she acts the way she does, and what I can do about unwanted behavior. I didn't buy this book right away because I adopted an older dog and the book's title has "puppy" in it, but after reading the Monk's classic book, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend (also great) I had to read this one too. The Monks have a refreshing, loving, "spiritual" approach to dog ownership and training. My dog is very glad I've read their books!
