If you’ve ever had your dog do something to your child that scared you, or had your child do something to your dog that made you wonder about a cruel streak, or both, this book is for you. Paraphrasing the author, most dog books say, “control your kid!” and most parenting books say, “control your dog!” In reality, “good kids and good dogs can get in trouble because of miscommunication” – Fluffy may well be doing what she was bred to do, and Johnny is just being age-appropriate, but it’s our job...more
We are getting a puppy, and this book was a great guide for housetraining, and teaching young children how to interact with puppies. I would buy this book.
A must-read if you have kids and are thinking of getting a puppy. Especially the info on early warning signs of a dog being overwhelmed/uncomfortable and how to intervene. Her website has some good info, too.
Nicely organized with a section on children's ages/stages. Lots of helpful tips.
This book wasn't quite as detailed as I wanted it to be, but it was a good starter resource. It has a lot of practical information on how to monitor and encourage the relationship between babies/kids and dogs and the list of additional resources at the back of the book is great. I do wish it had a little more information about training specific skills.
This really helped me get ready to have a dog in my house with all of my kids. It was a great introduction to positive/clicker training, and now I'm taking a class. I actually think the book is better than the class!
