For more than a quarter century, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend has been the standard against which all other dog-training books have been measured. This expanded edition preserves the best features of the original classic while bringing the book fully up-to-date. The result: the ultimate training manual for a new generation of dog owners--and, of course, for their canine best friends.

The Monks of New Skete have achieved international renown as breeders of German shepherds and as outstanding trainers of dogs of all breeds. Their unique approach to canine training, developed and refined over four decades, is based on the philosophy that "understanding is the key to communication, compassion, and communion" with your dog.

How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend
covers virtually every aspect of living with and caring for your dog, including:
  • Selecting a dog (what breed? male? female? puppy or older dog?) to fit your lifestyle
  • Where to get--and where not to get--a dog
  • Reading a pedigree
  • Training your dog or puppy--when, where, and how
  • The proper use of praise and discipline
  • Feeding, grooming, and ensuring your dog's physical fitness
  • Recognizing and correcting canine behavioral problems
  • The particular challenges of raising a dog where you live - in the city, country, or suburb
  • The proper techniques for complete care of your pet at every stage of his or her life
In its scope, its clarity, and its authority, How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend remains unrivaled as a basic training guide for dog owners. Like no other book, this guide can help you understand and appreciate your dog's nature as well as his or her distinct personality--and in so doing, it can significantly enrich the life you share with your dog.

Nice wedge pillow but not enough...
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
It came compacted and when I opened it expanded almost immediately, maybe took like 20 minutes to fully decompress. Its soft and comfortable and the cover is really nice. But it does have a strong chemical smell, which is normal for this kind of brand new memory foam, I just put it on a table with a window open near it and after maybe 24 hours the smell was almost completely gone. The problem is that I bought this to have a elevated position when sleeping but the 30° are just not enough for me. I wish it was at least 45° but I could not find any pillow with that amount of degree... it's either 30° or like 75° in the other position. At the base of the pillow there is a little ridge that is comfortable for the lower back but makes me slide down in the middle of the night so I end up almost laying flat with my neck on the base ridge. With my slim build my lumbar area gets some nice support but makes my head almost have a "fall backwards" sensation, I like having my neck have a "push-forward" position with my pillow, but when adding another pillow to try and get to a comfortable position it only makes me slide down even more... :/

Very firm and durable
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
worked great for husbands surgery recovery. Very affordable, firmness was great, looked nice on the bed and also used it for the grandkids when they were watching a movie. Moved around with ease. Didn't use it to sleep with all night though. He could only make it half the night but that wasn't the pillows fault. It was the cast on his arm. Definitely did its purpose after surgery and the need to sit up in bed more. highly recommend

Sasstie Wedge Pillow
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
Perfect. I used it when I was recovering from hip surgery. Relieved a lot of pain in my hip and knee at a time when I needed relief.

this pillow is huge i’m 5’8 and it’s perfect, as soon as i laid down it relived pressure in my back, i get hot fast and you can feel the cooling silk like texture, it’s weighted aswell, as soon as i opened it, it fluffed up an it’s been about 2 hours since and it’s already huge, it says 24-48 hrs to fluff up fully but idk how much bigger it could get lol it’s definitely worth the few extra dollars

I must have for pregnant women! Definitely helps sleep and comfort for sleeping!!
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey, Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey
I do love this pillow, it does take up a lot of space on my queen bed! But when I wrap my legs around the pillow, it gives me much relief on my back! It also has basically a built-in pillow so you don’t even need to use a pillow! I love that I was able to unzip the outer material and wash it! You can use it to sit up and support your back, and when the baby comes, you can use to help with feeding! sometimes I have to turn it completely on the other side if I want to turn over, it’s big!! heavy! Very soft! Not flat at all! Firmness is great! Height is great! I highly recommend! I’m also five months! i got it about 2 months ago!!
