Art of Raising a Puppy (Revised)
Art of Raising a Puppy (Revised) | Monks of New Skete
15 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
For more than thirty years the Monks of New Skete have been among America's most trusted authorities on dog training, canine behavior, 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 provide--brilliantly distilled--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 organizations, raising dogs in an urban environment, and the latest developments in canine health and canine behavioral theory.

This wee one is why I haven‘t been getting much reading done the past few days. Prudence is 12 weeks old, ridiculously cute, and quite the handful

OriginalCyn620 Aww! So cute! 🐶❤️ 4y

So excited to share...Mia joined our family today!!! ❤️🐶 After an almost 2 hour car ride, a walk around the yard and exploring the first floor of the house - she crashed and is ready for a nap. And I‘m starting a new book!

JoScho So cute! What kind is she? 5y

mreads 🐕❤ what a cutie. Best tip I can give is puppies almost always have to pee after naps so it good to take them out when they wake up speeds up potty training. 5y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Aw, cute little baby! I love that she‘s completely zonked out after so much excitement 5y
tracey38 Aww, she's just precious! 5y

@ForeverNerdy reminded me that I haven't been on here in forever. Well, this is why. Meet, Toru (pronounced Toh-roo)! He's a 13 week old Corgi and Collie mix I adopted from a rescue. Him and my full grown dog are working on being friends. Toru and I are working on house rules. We're getting along great, but I'm exhausted all the time. He's very smart and keeps me on my toes! #dogsoflitsy

Tamra 😘🤗 Cutie! 7y

Silly me, I thought I would be able to read a little bit while the puppers settled down. Chester begs to differ. 😂

IndyHannaJones Did you adopt a werewolf pup? It's majestic 8y
BookishFeminist @Hyaeger Lol no though Chester probably thinks he is. He's a cairn terrier. And hyper. 8y

I was asked to provide some book recommendations on dog training for a family member with their first dog. They've entered the "teenage years" and need some guidance. I've read a few, but nothing that sticks out. Do you have any recommendations? Also, this is my Elkhound, Kira. #dogsoflitsy ?

britt_brooke Hi Kira! 💚💚💚 8y

Eyelit My friend loves the four books I just tagged. She adopted a stray dog about 10+ years ago and it had a few behavioral problems - but now she's the sweetest most well behaved dog I've ever encountered. Your Kira is super cute by the by 💜 8y
8leagueboot Kira has the absolute sweetest face. 8y
Ellsbeth @8leagueboot She's by far the sweetest dog I've had. ❤️ 8y
Ellsbeth @Eyelit Thanks for all the great recommendations. I appreciate it! 8y
