Average Rating: 
Rating: - Divine Canine
This book is the best I have ever read on dog behavior. It is very specific and gently leads you to the place where your dog is absolutely comfortable with you as you are with him/her. A must read for any pet owner.
Rating: - Beautiful, inspiring book
This is a beautiful and inspiring book. It is full of photos and case studies of dogs that are entertaining to read. Just like episodes of The Dog Whisperer we witness dogs and their owners as they find a healthy balance of love, commitment and training that make everyone involved happy.
Rating: - Ultimate joy of having a dog
I thought I knew how to raise and enjoy dogs but when I read this book and others by the Monks of New Skete, I realized I was missing so much.
Now I recommmend it to everyone getting a new puppy and older dog owners as well. Dogs are awesome and having them as a part of our life is a special blessing.

PLEASE READ THE ART OF RAISING A PUPPY AND HOW TO BE YOUR DOGS BEST FRIEND. the art of raising ... Read More

My friend had a different take; she said, "cats are nature's serial killers, but dogs were put here to teach us how to love."
When my husband and I moved to the Caribbean I brought three cats over with me. One night a local stray dog, a ... Read More
