      Synopsis

      Bring out the divine in your canine!

      Obedient, devoted, and happy -- that's what we all want our dogs to be. Let Brother Christopher and the Monks of New Skete show you how to get there through the stories of sixteen unruly dogs who came to them with more than a few lessons to learn. In this engaging and informative companion book to the hit Animal Planet series, the Monks of New Skete, renowned masters in the art of raising and training dogs, demonstrate tried and true techniques for influencing animal behavior, showing how a caring attitude and honest communication can turn any dog into a divine canine.

      Featuring:


      • The Monks' Way: inspiring insights into the special New Skete training methods

      • Tips on tackling problems: dominance, aggression, separation anxiety, and more

      • "What if" guides when things don't go as planned

      • Glossary of key training techniques

      • Step-by-step photos and full-color illustrations of dogs in training at the New Skete monastery

      November 06, 2007: Do you love dogs? Do you have a dog that controls you? Even a little. The Monks of New Skete have a special rapport with dogs of all breeds, sizes and disciplines (or lack of same). This book lists examples of each problem, and how to solve that problem with love and patience. Each lesson is accompanied by step by step instructions and numerous photographs and such great pictures. After reading this book there's no doubt in my mind that the Monks understand the thoughts, and motives of the dogs they work with. If you have a dog, or if you're considering getting one, you need this book. Review by Wanda C. Keesey (author of Lost In The Mist, release date May, 2008)
