Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Review The monks of New Skete have been breeding and training dogs at their New York monastery for more than 20 years. Their philosophy of raising dogs accentuates the essential human-canine bond, whereby owners must learn to understand a dog's instincts, needs, and behavior. Understanding a dog, the monks say, is the key to successfully training him. They first published this philosophy in their 1978 classic guide How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend. Now the monks concentrate on the first three months of a puppy's life in The Art of Raising a Puppy.
The book observes a litter of monastery puppies from birth to 12 weeks. Tender photographs and dialogue reflect these precious first few weeks of life. Even at this time, the human-canine link is vital; the monks stress the importance of gentle touch to help forge this connection. Basic puppy training techniques are explored and executed, all of which puppy owners should find easy to implement. Virtually all types of dog problems and dog training are examined in the book, always in compassionate and easily comprehensible language. The monks also look well beyond surface training techniques to analyze the roots of dogs' problems and explain how training can help. Owners are taught how to gently assert dominance over their dog, which will make for a long-lasting and fulfilling relationship. Beautiful black-and-white photographs of monastery puppies will pull at every heartstring.
Product Description he Monks of New Skete have been involved in every facet of dog care for over 25 years: breeding and raising German Shepherds, training dogs of all breeds, and counseling dog owners on the many aspects of life with their dogs. What sets their program apart is the monks' compassion, respect, affection, and understanding of canine behavior and how they incorporate that into their training.
In The Art of Raising a Puppy—over 250,000 books sold since 1991—the brothers tell you everything you need to know about the crucial first months with your new best friend. From the decision to adopt a pup through the process of finding a dog breeder, preparing for your pup's arrival, succeeding at house-training and preliminary obedience exercises, and building the foundations of training, they offer clear guidelines for raising a puppy and establishing a lasting, loving relationship. This is an essential source of wisdom, information, and inspiration for anyone who has a puppy or is considering bringing one home.
Puppy care and trainingFebruary 7, 2010 P. Rowley(Virginia, USA) Everything from the pregnant bitch to training your puppy is discussed here. Explanations of how you should treat your puppy from the moment you take him home. If you want a well behaved happy dog you need to start here. This book is the best. I read it in one weekend to know what to expect before my puppy comes home and what to do to make his entry into our household pleasant for us as well as for him. Anyone thinking of getting a dog should start with reading this book. An excellent read.
Great bookJanuary 27, 2010 Robin Koukias(East Kingston,NH) I ordered this book upon the advice of our breeder when the puppies were about 2 weeks old. No one is really thinking about serious training when there is still another 6-8 weeks before you receive your newest family member. This book was wonderful. The authors used real dogs and puppies as examples to explain their training techniques. It was well written and easy to understand. Even though we had raised puppies in the past, it had been some time since we'd had a new pup. The content was extremely informative and insightful as to what a dog may be thinking or experiencing. Every time you think, oh-I know all about that, this book could prove you wrong! Even if you only learned a few new things from this book ,it would be worth it to review what goes on inside the mind of a puppy and what can I do to make him the best he can be.
a factually accurate review of being and raising a puppyJanuary 23, 2010 W. M. Black(South Carolina,USA) This superb book provided me a factual, no-nonsense understanding of how to raise my new puppy.
I have been a one-dog person for all of my life, so it had been sixteen years since I last had a puppy in the house. This book provided a clear and concise groundwork for understanding the process of raising a dog from my perspective and, more importantly, from the perspective of my dog. It is highly recommended for both the novice dog owner and for people who are faced with the responsibility of raising a dog who may not have done it recently enough to remember what is required.
It's THE bookJanuary 21, 2010 B. Plowman(Southern Florida) This is THE book to read to understand puppyhood. I have read many of the books written by the training monks and clearly recommend not missing out on this book before you bring a puppy home.
Dog loveJanuary 17, 2010 Paul A. Campbell(California) It is wonderful to read a well written book by people that know and love their subject.
