Having a dog can be a wonderful experience for a family—especially the kids. But, if your dog is unruly, the combination of kids and dogs can be a nightmare!
Kids & Dogs shows you how to produce a happy, friendly, and well-behaved dog that can make a fun and loyal best friend for your child. And, unlike other dog training books, it also helps you to teach your child how to behave safely and responsibly around dogs.
Using a kind, positive approach to training, Kids & Dogs gives you lots of good advice on dogs language, socializing and learning to communicate with your dog, health and hygiene issues and—importantly for every parent—how to prevent dog bites. You'll also find out how to choose a suitable type of dog for your family and how to involve all family members in its care. Finally, there's a series of essential lessons, simple enough for children to follow, with clear color photos and step-by-step instructions.
Best selling author and renowned dog trainer Ruth Weston and psychologist Dr. Catriona Ross help you make the most of the special relationship between your child and your dog.
