The Art of Raising a Puppy customer reviews: The art of raising a puppy I just bought a new puppy and it is a very active breed that must begin training early. I loved this book and it really taught me a lot. It was very easy to read and set up nicely. It's always nice when a book lives up to expectations After having read several Cesar Millan books, a Victoria Stillwell book and a several books on potty training, leash training and general puppy rearing from various veterinarians before this book, of all the books I've read, while many covered the same topics, this is certainly my favorite. It is the easiest to read and the easiest to understand. Unsurprisingly Millan, Stilwell, the various veterinarians and the Monks have similar approaches to puppy rearing, they just use different words to describe the same things. The Monks have the leg up over the others for the ease of reading this book has. The approach is the non-punitive approach. What this means is that you don't "punish" the puppy/dog; you simply don't reward the bad behaviors and always reward the good. In the real world, people try to attach human emotion and apply it to a dog, who then sees this as weakness and exploits it. By raising your puppy the Monk way, you will never be in a position of need where your dog will be running your house because you never give him/her the chance to fall into bad habits such as nipping, biting, using your house as a bathroom and general disobedience. One benefit of the book that I hadn't really had any experience with, is the puppy massage. The puppy massage described in the book is relaxing for the puppy and therapeutic for me, especially after a hectic day at work. If you read no other books on puppy raising, read this one. It gives you methodology for picking the right puppy, explains the various pieces of equipment you'll need and also guides you to build the proper foundation for a stable puppy that not only obeys you, but also treats you a true companion, which is all anyone with a dog should ever be looking for. Great resource If you're getting a puppy, read this book! It is so important to properly train them from the beginning - it pays off immensley in the long run and you will be happy you spent the time and effort. The Monks of New Skeete provide a great background on the principals of training; it's so much easier to train when you understand the reasons behind the techniques (and it makes you a much better trainer). Highly recommended! Great read for new puppy parents!
