 Do a friend a favor and give this book before the decision! June 25, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm almost certain I'll never actually breed a dog and be responsible for the birth and all that, I am certain that I would want those who do to read this first. I used to have two copies of this and the other book from the Monks of New Skete, "How to be your dog's best friend," but I've lent them out so often I've lost track of their whereabouts! It's worth it, though, to know that the books have gotten more than a few owners over the rough spots, with sound, logical advice and easy to understand training for both ends of the leash. It should be in every doglovers library. Shadow, CGC, and I highly recommend it!

Follow these giudelines and you and the dog will be happy! March 23, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Whenever I hear a friend or collegue say they're thinking about buying a dog I tell them to read this book FIRST. Anyone can buy a dog but it takes nearly as much time and effort to raise a dog correctly as it does a new baby. This book gives you the tools, and more importantly, the understanding to start your new canine relationship on the right foot. It's Worth every penny in the money you'll save on furniture and home repairs.
Please read this book before you get a pup! January 20, 1999
I had never heard of the Monks of New Skete, but I'm no longer a skeptic; they do a wonderful job of explaining all of the aspects of raising your puppy. It's easy to see where so many dog owners go wrong and why so many dogs act like they do (making it tough to live with them) when you read this book. You will be a much more informed and happy dog owner if you read this book, preferably before purchasing your pup.
 Get this book BEFORE you adopt a puppy! December 31, 1998
A great overview of the serious committment and discipline required on the part of humans in order to raise a happy and healthy dog. From making the decision to adopt through choosing a puppy, training, and caring, this book is a the perfect primer for new dog owners, particulary for people who've never had a dog or puppy before.
