i read an earlier version of this book in the 80's and was pleasantly surprised to see the updated version. this book helped me successfully raise a recalcitrant GSD back then and has already helped with a mistreated border collie i just adopted.

Mandatory Reading for Dog Owners

This is the first book any dog owner should read and possibly the only book worth owning. Wish I had read this 20 years and 3 dogs ago.... If you are looking to get a puppy, I also recommend "The Art of Raising a Puppy" also by the Monks of New Skete.
