Customer Rating:
Summary: so far so good
Comment: I am reading the chapters that relate to my puppy, and the ideas make sense.. I love the intellectual style of the book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: First hand experience
Comment: Never have I been more impressed as a veterinary student at Cornell than when I visited the Monks of New Skete. Picture a dozen or more monks eating dinner around a large table, each with a German Shepherd dog lying quiety by his side throughout the entire meal. The monks have been doing this for decades- no reason to change their training methods because they work so well. Aren't we fortunate that they have been willing to share their trade secrets with the rest of the dog loving world.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't change what works
Comment: helped me tremendously in understanding my newly purchased German Shepherd puppy. Their techniques work!
Unlike many other books that I have read, the Monks understand that there is a balance between positive and negative reinforcement and a place for both praise and stern discipline.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Somewhat helpful
Comment: I really loved this book until we got our puppy. However it swiftly became apparent that the dog had never read the manual. I still got something out of it, but its hardly the guidebook to puppyhood I wanted.

Editorial Reviews:
|
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.
