5 out of 5 stars This is the best book I have ever read on dog training, and I have read many.   March 29, 2008

I got this book from a friend and have absolutely loved it. This book should be owned by all dog owners and breeders. This is the best book I have ever read on dog training, and I have read many. By the time you are half-way through this book you feel as if you and your dog actually understand each other. That's a result that speak for itself!

2 out of 5 stars More boring than a three hour wedding   December 13, 2007

Do not waste your money on this book. The monks apparently like to hear themselves talk and talk and talk. The big problem with this is that there is very little information in all the stories they tell that can help you directly with your new dog.


5 out of 5 stars Extremely insightful   November 22, 2007
This is a wonderful book that everybody who owns or wants to own a dog should read.


2 out of 5 stars not a complete waste of time, but close   October 21, 2007

read it if you want, but please read Kilcommons's book first. The monks don't expand their ideas--the book is mostly an overview of concepts instead of teaching techniques step by step. I respect anyone who can train a dog effectively; however, I don't agree with their "hands on" approach.


5 out of 5 stars awesome book   October 15, 2007
The book will help me be an amazing dog owner when I'm ready for it. I read it and thought about my lifestyle (22 y.o. English teacher in South Korea) and decided that now is not the time for me to have a dog. Kudos to the Monks of New Skete. It has, however, helped me start training my students. :)
