For more than thirty years, the Monks of New Skete have been among America's most trusted authorities on dog training, canine behaviour, and the animal/human bond. In their two now-classic bestsellers, How to be Your Dog's Best Friend and The Art Of Raising A Puppy, the Monks draw on their experience as long-time breeders of German Shepherds and as trainers of dogs of all breeds to provideβ€”brilliantly distilledβ€”the indispensable information and advice that every dog owner needs.

This new edition of The Art Of Raising A Puppy features new photographs throughout, along with updated chapters on play, crating, adopting dogs from shelters and rescue organisations, raising dogs in an urban environment, and the latest developments in canine health and canine behavioural theory.
