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.

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.
