New Skete is the collective term for three Orthodox Christian monastic communities in Cambridge, New York (geographically in the neighboring town of White Creek):
The Monks of New Skete, a men's monastery founded in 1966 by Laurence Mancuso, their first abbot,
the Nuns of New Skete, a women's monastery founded in 1969, and
the Companions of New Skete, a community of married monastics founded in 1982.
All three communities are under the omophorion of the Metropolitan of the Orthodox Church in America. They are best known in the world at large for their breeding and training of German Shepherds as companions and guide dogs, and the training of all breeds in basic obedience. The Monks have written several dog-training manuals, including The Art of Raising a Puppy and How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend: The Classic Training Manual for Dog Owners.
