This book has been so helpful to me. I have an 8 week old german shepherd and I was clueless how to train him until I read this book. It is full of practical and useful tips any dog owner can use!!

I have been raising my German Shepard with this book in hand and she's growing into a delightful yet manageable puppy. The Monks of New Skete have shared a system that uses appropriate and effective disciplining techniques in combination with fun training exercises. They teach more of an "attitude" than a specific system for training, but that attitude helps beginning dog owners understand the line between breaking a dog's spirit and building a spirited relationship between a dog and his master.

I work in a local Animal Hospital and I see thousands of dogs walk through our doors...some of them well trained, and some of them not. This book gives you information on everything from hand raising an abandoned puppy, puppy stages and development to training. Most people aren't aware that the only real successful way to have a well trained, well rounded, happy dog is by raising and training with love. Yes, you can succeed in training your dog with an iron fist, but your dog's scared, cowering submission will more than likely turn into agressive, violent behavior towards you or your loved ones. I have had nothing but success in reading this book and it is the only book I recommend in my hospital to owner's with new puppies.
