Overview: For more than thirty years the Monks of New Skete have been among America's most trusted authorities on dog training, canine behavior, and the animal/human bond.

In their two now-classic bestsellers, How to be Your Dog's Best Friend and The Art of Raising a Puppy, the Monks draw on their experience as long-time breeders of German shepherds and as trainers of dogs of all breeds to provide - brilliantly distilled - the indispensable information and advice that every dog owner needs.

This new edition of The Art of Raising a Puppy features new photographs throughout, along with updated chapters on play, crating, adopting dogs from shelters and rescue organizations, raising dogs in an urban environment, and the latest developments in canine health and canine behavioral theory.

From Publishers Weekly
The monks of New Skete in Cambridge, New York, dog trainers and breeders of German shepherds, here expand on their classic How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend. The excellent instruction begins with an in-depth examination of the puppies of one litter from birth through their eventual placements with new owners-- following their social and physical development, their needs, and clues to their emerging personalities. Proposing that the best way to forge a healthy dog-to-owner bond is to prevent problems before they occur, the authors soundly emphasize that a puppy begins its training "the day it arrives home." They teach readers how to choose an appropriate breed and a promising puppy, and how to assume the position of "pack" leader from the start. Sensitive and unimpeachably humane, this handbook places equal stress on the time-consuming responsibilities of dog ownership and on its ultimate rewards.

From Library Journal
Developed from the outstanding 1991 book of the same title, this program presents information that continues to be extremely enlightened and valuable. In addition to offering advice on puppy selection, housebreaking, basic care, and training, the tape gives innovative suggestions for handling a variety of problems. The fundamental approach is based on helping owners understand a puppy's physical and emotional makeup and how dogs experience relationships. The monks' techniques are based on extensive experience in anticipating behavioral problems and resolving them by establishing successful communication between people and their dogs. Clearly conveyed by reader Michael Wager, the guidance is practical, thorough, easily understood, and logically presented. A small booklet on puppy aptitude testing is intended to help people understand which dogs will best suit their lifestyles and circumstances and includes some excellent material not on the tape. If using this program were required prior to puppy acquisition or breeding, the problem of unwanted dogs in shelters or on the streets would likely eventually disappear. Highly recommended for all public, school, and veterinary collections.
