Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| When my husband and I decided to get a new puppy, we announced it to all of our friends and family once we found a breeder and put a deposit down. While I thought I was the only one going on and on and on about the new puppy, it turns out my husband has been jabbering on as well at school (he's a PhD student so it's also his job).
One of his cohorters lent him a book form to read (titled above) since he also shared that I was going research crazy online.
When I first read the title and authors, I was a little skeptical, because what would a bunch of monks know about dogs?
It turns on that this "brotherhood" of monks located in Pennsylvania also double as a GS breeder.
The book starts with an observation of their GS named Anka who is about to have a litter. The book follows her and her litter from birth to year 1 all the way from what is going on biologically as well as mentally for the puppies during their oh so important first year.
I really enjoyed this book because it wasn't a super difficult read with all sorts of technical jargin, and it really emphasized how important it is to understand that while each pup is different, with proper training and affection, any pup can grow to be an obediant and loving companion.
They don't use treat-based training, just affection. He goes week by week outlining what is happening in puppy world and why it's so important that the pup with with mom until at least the 8th week, as well as what kind of consequences are at risk if you remove the pup before then.
He also goes over some 'puppy tests' that you can do with your pup early on to find out if it's going to be more submission or domininant.
There is a chapter dedicated to crate-training, potty-training, sit, down, stay etc.
All in all I really enjoyed it. I was able to finish it in about 3 days. Recommended! |
