For nearly a quarter century, How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend has been the standard against which all other dog-training books have been measured. This new, expanded edition, with a fresh new design and new photographs all over, preserves the best features of the original classic at the same time as bringing the book fully up-to-date. The result: the ultimate training manual for a new generation of dog owners – and, of course, for their canine best friends. The Monks of New Skete have achieved international renown as breeders of German shepherds and as outstanding trainers of dogs of all breeds. Their unique approach to canine training, developed and refined over three decades, is based on the philosophy that “understanding is the key to communication, compassion, and communion” with your dog. The importance of honest and effective communication with your dog is underscored all over this guide, especially in the practical training exercises: a detailed, comprehensive, fully illustrated obedience course through which the monks lead you (and your dog) step by step. How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend covers virtually every aspect of living with and taking good care of your dog, including: Selecting a dog (what breed? male? female? puppy or older dog?) to fit your way of life Where to get – and where not to get – a dog Reading a pedigree Training your dog or puppy – when, where, and how The proper use of praise and discipline Feeding, grooming, and ensuring your dog’s physical fitness Recognizing and correcting canine behavioral problems The particular challenges of raising a dog where you live – in the city, country, or suburb The proper techniques for complete care of your pet at every stage of his or her life In this new edition, How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend has been expanded to encompass the contemporary equipment (e.g., retractable leashes, “invisible” fences); new trends in training and care (doggy day care, professional dog walkers, and the like.); and dozens of new anecdotes and case studies, drawn from the monks’ own experience, that bring to life the essential training concepts. In its scope, its clarity, and its authority, How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend remains unrivaled as a basic training guide for dog owners. Like no other book, this guide assist you to be mindful and appreciate your dog’s nature in addition to his or her distinct personality – and in so doing, it can significantly enrich the life you share with your dog.
