This is an exceptional book not only on training, but also on canine behavior. |was surprised to discover the breadth and depth of understanding and knowledge shown by the authors. This is not a religious book, except in the devotedness shared by the monks with their dogs. With this system the dogs are with their handlers nearly 24 hours a day, even during the monks’ lengthy periods of silence, with which the dogs must cooperate. One of the most amazing photographs in the book (to me) was of the monks at a meal, with all their dogs lying down silently, in the dining room, with no friction among the dogs.
This book covers basic obedience training, but more importantly it attempts to teach you how to develop a real closeness with your dog. It does not shrink from the unpleasant aspects of training either — correcting deep-seated problems. The Brothers are famous for de-tuning or de-training attack dogs “‘gone bad,”’ which is no simple task.
