| Well Written with Essential Information, February 7, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Chapel Taylor |
| This was one of the first books I read when getting in to dog training and it is still the one I most often recommend to my students. The Monks' writing is clear and easy to read and is also sprinkled with their own personality and stories. They offer clear explainations of the development stages of a puppy and how you must adjust your training and expectations for your dog based on those development stages. Their method is centered around communicating with your dog in the same way that dogs communicate with each other. They use their unique position as monks to really study dogs objectively and without judgement. They heavily emphasize the need for routine and consistency in a puppy's life and even offer some sample day-to-day schedules which lay out when to feed and walk your dog to promote quick housebreaking. A must have for every dog owner. |

| Some Value, October 7, 2006 |
| Reviewer: C. Sanders |
| While some of the techniques in this book are a little outdated, there is still a lot of valuable information regarding the lifestages of the puppy and how to help your puppy grow up to be a well socialized dog. An interesting read that I have referred back to a few times while raising puppies over the years. The stories are a little lacking, but I have yet to find a book as detailed on the individual lifestages of the puppy's mental and physical growth. |
