Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
The Monks of New Skete share their invaluable training techniques and philosophy in their bestselling book, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend. First and foremost, the Monks--who themselves breed and raise German shepherds in Upstate New York--emphasize that "understanding is the key to communication, compassion, and communion" with your dog. Outlined in seven highly readable and informative chapters, the training principles offer a better knowledge of your pet's psyche and personality--ultimately deepening the bond between human and animal. Striving to educate and sensitize new and potential owners to dog kind, the book explores different breeds and temperaments, and assesses the best places from which to obtain a dog. Thanks to a succession of neatly ordered chapters and subsections on everything from crates and leash training to dog treats and massage, training is made accessible and even fun. The Monks lay particular emphasis on the importance of training with "spirit, humor, and most of all, physical and verbal praise!" Whether you're a new owner or an old-timer, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend is one of the best training guides available, written with compassion, empathy, and humor. --Naomi Gesinger

5 out of 5 stars Very good seller!   November 12, 2008
The seller is so informative and fast. He/she actually shipped my product at a price that is more than what I have paid. The package was nicely wrapped. I'd definitely buy from this seller again.


5 out of 5 stars Understanding your dog   October 10, 2008
I read this in the late 80's. It changed my world and my relationship with my dogs ever since. A must have for your library


2 out of 5 stars outdated, wrong, harsh   September 25, 2008
This book presents the state of the art in dog training dating back to about 1975. The techniques are based on punishment, not building a positive relationship with your dog. The techniques will work with SOME dogs, but you will get better results with all dogs by using more modern techniques based on a better understanding of how dogs learn. Check out books by Pat Miller, Patricia McConnell and Jean Donaldson, for a start.


4 out of 5 stars I was pleasantly please   September 15, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

The first thing I noticed about this book is how the Monks start right away as "REAL" people who are not trying to sugarcoat the readers eyes with what you expect to read. They have a honest, different approach to training your dog with methods that will not agree with everyone. I believe their techniques are very helpful to anyone who has a larger breed dog but has limited training and behavioral information on the toy breed owners. Even though I have a toy breed, I found that some information in this book was helpful and very resourceful.


2 out of 5 stars can be too harsch for some breeds and temperaments   July 31, 2008
The methods in this book will work on many dogs but be dead wrong for certain temperaments and breeds. It is WAY to harsch for my soft goldens.
