Great book, lots of information. They do not have a lot of information in this book regarding puppies. I purchased the puppy book that they have put out and that one is phenomenal! I like this book, but I think it will better serve my needs once my puppy is grown.
Written with a strong sense of spirituality and compassion, the monks of New Skete have written the best source of information on understanding the mentality of a dog that I have come across. This book has helped me to develop stronger bonds with three rescue dogs, each with their own personality and peculiarities. Highly recommended.
I enjoyed this book and I have read lots of books on dog training, psychology, etc. This was one that was fast, easy reading and besides being enjoyable, it was informative. I sure wish they wrote more about smaller dogs........I know they train bigger dogs and much of the info works for big or small but is still would be nice to see these great guys work with some smaller dogs and the challenges.
Be the first to ask a question about this product.
The Monks of New Skete have been raising and training dogs for over 30 years at their Cambridge, New York, monastery, and this volume-updated from the 1978 version-offers solid insights on dog training, behavior, grooming, feeding and a host of other topics. Whether discussing country, city or suburban dogs, the monks dispense good advice on humane care, such as admonishing owners to avoid "canine incarceration," i.e., leaving a dog confined alone for long periods of time. While the book does contain many useful, tried-and-true techniques for obedience-stay, heel, down-stay, recall and the like-its unique value lies in the monks' insights and thoughts about the human-canine bond. Concepts such as discipline and praise are more than merely a means to an end, the monks maintain: they are extensions of a caring attitude and real communication with a canine companion. Without devolving into New Age psychobabble, the monks make philosophical and spiritual observations that no dog lover could resist, and which just might make a convert of the uninitiated. 87 b&w photos.
