Description: HOW TO CARE FOR DOGS - BY THE FAMOUS MONKS OF NEW SKETE THE MONKS OF NEW SKETE ARE AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN MONASTIC COMMUNITY located in a beautiful part of New York State. They are famous around the world because of their dog training methods which they have described and illustrated in best-selling books. This is one of their books - a unique, step-by-step obedience course for your dog and guidance on the proper techniques to care for your beloved pet at every stage of life. The monks specialize in German Shepherds but their methods can be applied to any breed. There is also a community of Nuns of New Skete located nearby. They support themselves by baking and selling delicious New York-style cheesecake - but this manual is for dog-owners and the cheese-cake operation is another story. THE BOOK IS IN FINE CONDITION WITH CLEAN AND CRISP pages, no margin notes, underlines or highlighting, firm and tight binding, an intact and unclipped dust-jacket and no sign of previous ownership such as an inscription or bookplate. It is profusely illustrated with photographs and drawings (see examples above) and, in addition to an index, it provides a useful bibliography for further reading. This is what a review in The Washington Post said: "The Monks of New Skete have turned out a book on virtually every phase of dog care, understanding and training. They have done so from a tremendous depth of affection for the animals . . ."
