 The only puppy book you will ever need December 17, 2007

I have my second copy of this great book, having loaned the first to someone and never getting it back... Being on the verge of aquiring our third German Shepherd, my wife and I haven't raised a puppy in many years, so it was time to re-read the owner's manual. This book is a timeless and definitive tutorial for anyone raising a puppy and beyond. While the instructions and "how-to's" are certainly essential, I find that the philosophy and theory presented throughout is the most valuable part of the book.
If you want to add a four legged friend to your family and wish to have a happy and well adjusted pet (and self) this book is a must. I wish I could afford to buy a dog from the monks of New Skete... but at least I can use their wisdom and guidance. God Bless their work!!
Truly a great book November 13, 2007

This book is literally invaluable to anyone getting a new puppy. I could not recommend it more...it was recommended to me from the breeder of our new pup a few weeks before picking her up and it was by far the best read of the 5 books I purchased on canines. DEFINITELY a great choice.
Very helpful information November 9, 2007
This was so helpful to us before we got our puppy. It's much more comprehensive than other books and the audiobook was a great way to listen in the car. It was a great way to get my kids to listen to a book they would not have sat and read.
 Puppy & Dogs October 17, 2007
Have found a lot of very useful information in this book. It is very practical & a must read if you are thinking about getting a puppy.

I love this book. It is well written and full of smart advice. The beginning chapters about puppy birth and development are beautiful and a welcome change from the bland how-to books. I don't think this or any book is going to teach you how to raise a great dog all on it's own. But this book, teamed with others and real life instruction in a puppy class, will do you a world of good. Although some of it's ideas, specifically about the Alpha wolf, have now been disproved the heart of the book is still valid and I highly recommend it.
