Raising Your Dog with the Monks of New Skete customer reviews:

Thoughtful and Instructive Dog Training      I cannot say enough about how helpful The Monks have been - their video and books. If you are going to be intentional about raising your dog, then I strongly encourage you to read or watch the Monks of New Skete.
dogs, breeds, service dogs, dog training, puppy      This is a dvd that will help you change everything that has to do with your relationship with your dog. Please look at the dvd and buy the books and see how much they help you understand how what you do shapes what your dog does. This book shares the life of many dogs as you see them trained through many stages and you can utilize the experiences of all these people for your own benefit, i highly recommend this book.Autumn of Blessed Acres service dog
If you've read their books, skip this DVD      I read The Monks of New Skete, The Art of Raising a Puppy and let me say I think that book was amazing, thorough, was the best of the half dozen puppy books I've read. But about this video, I feel this video doesn't add any additional training info that wasn't already in the book. There are 2 DVDs, the first one is essentially about the Monk's philosophical approach to raising dogs. The second DVD continues this philosophy and then finally, finally in the very last section there is some actual training demonstrations that lasts about 20 minutes. But is is the SAME training material that is covered in the book as well.
I gave the video 4 stars because if you haven't read The Monks of New Skete, The Art of Raising a Puppy book, getting this DVD is a good idea. If you've read the book, my advice is to skip this DVD.
Drivel      This is nothing but mystical drivel. I checked the DVD out of my library hoping to glean something, but watching it was a complete waste of time. They show pictures of scenery that are totally irrelevant to the topic of dogs and when one of the men say anything, they're always trying to sound incredibly profound or poetic, but it turns out that they communicate nothing. I wouldn't mind if there was a religious moment on the video to reflect on the greater purpose in which we relate to and raise dogs but there is never anything that resembles a Christian perspective on the video. It's a lot more like eastern mysticism, existential double-talk, and mumbo-jumbo.
Good Books, Bad Video      The Monks of New Skete have some very well writen BOOKS with really good information. I highly recommend their books. The video or CD "Raising Your Dog" by "The Monks of New Skete" was done by "Atmosphere Entertainment", NOT by "The Monks of New Skete". THE MONKS DO NOT MAKE A PENNY ON THIS VIDEO. ALL money goes to Atmosphere Entertainment. Because of this greedy company taking advantage of the Monks, nobody should be buying or selling this video. Shame on You! For more info go to the Monks website at [...] (they have a statement on their website about this matter). Support the Monks, not A.E who did a BAD JOB in making this video.
