From the decision to adopt a pup through the practicalities of every phase of caring for your puppy, the Monks of New Skete offer clear, sympathetic, and intelligent guidelines. This complete guide is a source of wisdom and inspiration for anyone genuinely committed to building a loving and lasting relationship with their dog.

You'll learn:

  • how to choose a puppy
  • how to handle your puppy's first night at home
  • successful house-training
  • the value of a consistent schedule
  • general care of your puppy
  • leash training and preliminary obedience work

More important, you'll discover a unique approach to puppy training based on a deep respect and understanding of canine behavior.

The Monks of New Skete have been breeding, raising, and training German shepherds for more than 25 years, and their extraordinary grasp of every facet of puppy behavior has gained them worldwide attention. New Skete Monastery is located in Cambridge, New York.

Helpful, practical, compassionate, effective

I found this book very helpful. The strategies were clearly explained with reasons for them, consequences of not following them and detailed descriptions of how to carry out strategies for a wide variety of situations that commonly come up with puppies. I have had three dogs from 1 year up but never from new born so I was very keen to hear insights in this area and I was not disappointed. Would highly recommend.

Too punishing

Very well read but a bit old fashioned style of dog training. If you think it is still okay to jerk your dog's collar and rap it under the chin, this book is for you. It is not for me.
