The best-selling dog training books
How
to Be Your Dog's Best Friend: The Classic Training Manual for Dog Owners
(Revised & Updated Edition)
Monks of New Skete
Highly
recommended! How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend, an informal, friendly
guide by The Monks of New Skete, is really two books in one: a step-by-step
training manual and a philosophical discussion of the spiritual benefits
of owning a dog. The Monks, who support their community in upstate New York
by breeding and training German shepherds, reveal a profound devotion to
all breeds in this detailed guide to every imaginable aspect of dog ownership.
They cover it all: naming the puppy, training with eye contact and jingling
keys, establishing the best sleeping arrangements, even dealing with pet
loneliness.
Owners are advised to think of themselves as the dog's alpha figure, to train with praise instead of punishment, and to beware of becoming the dog's maid or doorman. Throughout, the authors reflect on the deep spiritual connection possible between humans and dogs. Generations of dogs have been trained with the best-selling 1978 edition of this book. With this update, the Monks are bound to gain many new fans--happy humans and obedient canines alike. With modesty and generosity, the Monks offer an extensive list of other helpful books about dogs, as well as a useful appendix of American Kennel Club titles and terms.
