Aha...pretty good stringer, huh?! Okay, they're the Monks of New Skete, they raise German Shepherds and their training is based on a philosophy that they wrote collectively and basically, it has to do with building trust, bonding and then training...all of which I agree with but the rest of the GSD community thought they were kinda "out there" when all of this first began 35 years ago but as it turns out...it's a fantastic philosophy and they've been very successful with it...they've written books about it...it's really a neat story...here's their link....enjoy, Lon...
