How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With
The monks of New Skete have been breeding and training dogs at their New York monastery for more
than 20 years. Their philosophy of raising dogs accentuates the essential human-canine bond, whereby
owners must learn to understand a dog's instincts, needs, and behavior. Understanding a dog, the
monks say, is the key to successfully training him. They first published this philosophy in their 1978
classic guide How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend. Now the monks concentrate on the first three months
of a puppy's life in The Art of Raising a Puppy.

The book observes a litter of monastery puppies from birth to 12 weeks. Tender photographs and
dialogue reflect these precious first few weeks of life. Even at this time, the human-canine link is vital;
the monks stress the importance of gentle touch to help forge this connection. Basic puppy training
techniques are explored and executed, all of which puppy owners should find easy to implement.
Virtually all types of dog problems and dog training are examined in the book, always in compassionate
and easily comprehensible language. The monks also look well beyond surface training techniques to
analyze the roots of dogs' problems and explain how training can help. Owners are taught how to gently
assert dominance over their dog, which will make for a long-lasting and fulfilling relationship. Beautiful
black-and-white photographs of monastery puppies will pull at every heartstring.
Snog: A Puppy's Guide to Love features sixty original and captivating images of puppies by the world's
most popular animal photographer. Hale uses her lens, her love of dogs, and a great deal of patience to
create an enchanting perspective on how puppies see the world. Whether napping or nibbling at each
other's ears, these adorable pooches show a deep, easily shared affection for one another. From
golden retrievers to German shepherds, bulldogs to Boston terriers, Hale captures all breeds in
moments of curiosity, devotion, and delight. Her images remind us to be passionate and silly, to revel in
playtime, to cherish quiet moments, and to share our love with family and friends. Warm and witty
quotes, expertly paired with many of the images, provide surprising insights into our own relationships.
Who better than a puppy to give us guidance on the nature and beauty of love?

From the Author
We have domesticated the dog to the extent that he is totally dependent on humans-and then we abuse
him by refusing to understand his needs in this technical world. Our goal is to help people understand
the nature of the dog they live with, respect his dogness, and, in return, be respected by their dog.

Puppy Whisperer: A Compassionate, Nonviolent Guide to Early
Training and Care
Combining two popular titles in one value-priced edition, Before and After Getting Your Puppy is a
simple, practical guide for anyone bringing a new puppy into the home. In clear steps, with helpful
photos and easy-to-follow training deadlines, Dr. Ian Dunbar, who pioneered puppy classes and a
loving style of dog training in the 1970s, presents a structured yet playful and humorous plan for raising
a wonderful dog. The guide is based on six developmental deadlines: completing owner education and
preparation, assessing a puppy's prior socialization and education, teaching errorless house-training
and chewtoy-training, completing a socialization program of meeting strange dogs and people, learning
bite inhibition, and continuing a program of ongoing training. In the first half of the book, Dr. Dunbar
focuses on what the owner needs to know to select a great puppy. In the second half, he presents the
crucial lessons the puppy must be taught during its impressionable early development — using a kind,
positive approach that, over time, has been proven the most effective.

Before and After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive
Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy, and Well-Behaved Dog
Here is the perfect book for puppy owners and would-be puppy owners who want to know how to bring
their puppy up to be a happy, well-behaved, friendly adult dog. Antisocial behavior in dogs is often
(rightly) blamed on owners. But most dog owners are neither irresponsible or uncaring. They simply
don't have the knowledge they need to raise and train a dog properly. This book provides that knowledge.

The Perfect Puppy gives you the latest behavioral information and emphasizes prevention rather than
cure. Follow Gwen Bailey's easy-to-understand advice and you should have no trouble with such
problems as chewing shoes, pulling on the lead, or aggression when your dog is fully grown.

Full-color photographs show you how to housebreak your puppy and how to teach it to obey and
generally be a good canine citizen.

Reader Review
The lady that wrote this is an RN that has helped countless women deliver babies. She has since
become a dog breeder and has now helped save lots of puppies. She not only tells you what equipment
you need but will actually sell it to you herself for what I think is a pretty fair price. She even gives you her
e-mail address so you can send her questions through her e-mail. This book comes with a DVD that
brings to life what she teaches you how to do in the book. All in all this is the only book that has ever
made me feel like I will know what to do when I have a crisis with newborn puppies. In the book this lady
says you can reduce your mortality rate by 20%! That's a lot! She says the average amount of puppies
that die in infancy is 30% and that you can get it down to 10%. This book is so inexpensive that I think
you can't afford to NOT buy it.
