The Monks of New Skete have been involved in every facet of dog care for over 25 years: breeding and raising German Shepherds, training dogs of all breeds, and counseling dog owners on the many aspects of life with their dogs. What sets this program apart is the monks' compassion, respect, affection, and understanding of canine behavior and how they incorporate that into their training. The monks build upon the basic puppy training methods and the principles of bonding to show owners how to care for dogs, from selecting a dog to fit one's lifestyle to proper use of praise and discipline. Extensively revised and updated, featuring a fresh new design and photographs throughout, this book covers new trends in training, new equipment, i.e. ''invisible fences'', new reflections on the philosophical aspects of the dog/human relationship, and much more. 336 Pgs.
