"Short, sweet, easy to read, and written through case studies of "problem dogs." I was able to sit down in an afternoon and work my way through this book, which seems to have a very reasonable approach to dog training. Brother Christopher is my new hero. Jared and I have agreed he's like the Zen monk of dog training. And the pictures of all the baby German shepherds running around are really too cute."
"I have previously read (and am currently re-reading "The Monks of New Skete"'s other two dog training books. Those offer a lot more information.
But I did enjoy this book--not so much to teach me in detail how to train a dog but more as a look at those techniques in action with "unruly" dogs. It's more of an interesting, picture-filled, individual-dog's-story book...than a precise info book like their other ones.
So, if you are looking how to try your dog or new puppy read their other ones. But if you are interesting in dogs and training methods in general for a quick read this is a great one."
"I have grown up with dogs, and the approach that the Monks of New Skete take with their dogs is the closest to what I think is the kindest and most sane way to raise, train, and live with dogs! I have read "How to be your dog's best friend" by the monks, and this book seems to be an excellent follow-up, full of case studies with "problem owners" and their dogs.
I would recommend this book to someone perhaps who wants "case studies" about dogs with various problems and how they can be dealt with. Most of the solutions have to do with changing the way the owners treat the dogs, such as becoming a good leader of your dog's pack instead of trying to treat your dog like one of your children!"
"One of their most recent. My vet recommended it and I love it! Quote pg. 11 "...many of the behavior problems owners struggle with result from the dog unintentioanlly being given a dominant place in the human family.""
