The Amazon Store at MillionDollarPetPix.com ( In association with Amazon.com )The Art of Raising a Puppy - other methodsMeanwhile a lot of other people written very good books in a very different stile: Suzanne Clothier (Bones would rain from the Sky) Patricia McConnell (The other end of the Leash) Turid Rugaas (Calming Signals) We have three Irish Setter and we prefer a soft method for our dogs. Rating:  - louisaExcellent book for the serious dog lover. A great way to prepare for a new puppy. I have read a lot of books but Monks Of New Skete hit every topic on target. You don't have to be a GSD owner to benefit - they address what breed is best for you and shelter rescues. They take you step by step from birth to help you understand puppy's needs and developmental phase. I have bought this book for several people because I think it's a MUST HAVE. Rating: - Worked for meThis book specifically talks about German Shepherds but will work for any dog with some intelligence. Read it before you get a dog if you can but if you're like me and you suddenly have a dog and are asking yourself, "now what?" get this book immediately and start reading! It's not very long but it covers everything you need to know. Most important is understanding how to get your dog to respect you. Notice I said respect and not fear. If your dog doesn't respect you or fears you then there's not much chance of actually getting the dog to listen to commands. Rating: - The greatest book for raising a puppyI bought the first edition of this book some, maybe, 14-15 years ago and used it in raising puppies. I gave that one to someone and am getting a new puppy in September. The book is recommended by the breeder of German Shepherd Dogs, and we are revisiting the book. IT IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! Don't raise a puppy without this book! Rating: - Please do not buy this bookUntil I read culture clash I thought this book was probably mostly ok, if not someone superstitious. Since then I have realized that this book is more dangerous then good. The ideas in this book are mostly baseless, the methods in this book may "work", but they are definitely not the best, and can be very damaging do some breeds. Please, if looking to buy a book, get culture clash first, then get this. You will then realize what I'm talking about.
