Obedient, devoted and happy - that's what we all want our dogs to be. Now, in this entertaining, informative, and beautifully illustrated book, Brother Christopher and the monks of New Skete - renowned masters in the art of raising and training dogs - show you how to get there through the stories of eight dogs (including a Chihuahua, a bulldog, a golden retriever, and a poodle) who came to them with quite a few lessons to learn. Each dog was chosen as representing a specific training essential or problem behaviour; and they all turned into loving and obedient companions.
