The Monks of
New Skete THE ART OF RAISING A PUPPY The authors of the classic guide
How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend now tell you everything you need to
know about the crucial first months of your puppy's life. From the
decision to adopt a pup through the practical steps of choosing the
right breed, preparing your home, caring for your new charge, and
practicing basic obedience exercises, the Monks of New Skete offer
clear, compassionate guidelines for raising a puppy. Renowned for
breeding German shepherds, the Monks train their own beautiful dogs,
and dogs of any breed, according to a unique program based on
understanding canine behavior and enhancing the bond between dog and
owner. This communion begins in puppyhood and is based on deep respect
and affection. Improper care, poor training, or a lack of attention
during the early months can lead to problem behaviors that become
increasingly difficult to alter as your dog matures. By learning to
gently assert your dominance from the start, you'll build a lasting and
loving relationship with your pup. This complete guide, illustrated
with more than eighty black-and-white photographs, explains the stages
of puppy development, how to communicate with your pup, how to begin a
complete training program, and how to deal with common problems like
chewing, jumping up, and paper-training. The kind of fulfillment a
solid relationship with your pup can bring is demonstrated in the
stories of three dogs who have assumed special places in their owners
lives. The Art of Raising a Puppy is an essential source of wisdom,
information, and inspiration for anyone who loves and cares for a
puppy. As a community, the Monks of New Skete have been breeding,
raising, and training dogs for more than twenty years. New Skete
Monastery is located in Cambridge, New York.
