KIDS AND DOGS - A PROFESSIONAL'S GUIDE TO HELPING FAMILIES

Author: Colleen Pelar, Publisher: Distributed by Dogwise Publishing, Edition: 2009 Paperback, 128 pages.

Six secrets dogs wish people knew... that will revolutionise how families relate to dogs! Illustrated with nearly 100 colour photos, this book is both fantastic and unique. Every general dog aficionado, dog trainer, groomer, dog walker & shelter worker who would like to help parents improve the life of a dog living with children should read this book. It's filled with first-hand experience & stories that illustrate the points in a memorable way.

Kids and dogs have misunderstandings every day. Most aren't serious, but some can be downright dangerous. If a bite occurs, a child could be injured and the dog could lose his home -- or his life! Take the guesswork out of kid/dog interactions using these tips, tricks & techniques. On every page you'll find things that make your work with dogs -- and their families -- easier.

"As a dog training & behaviour professional without human children, I plead guilty to many of the inappropriate assumptions & unrealistic expectations that trainer/author Colleen Pelar describes in her latest work. This book is an invaluable resource for dog aficionados, professional or not, who seek to make relationships between families and their canine companions more successful." Pat Miller, author of The Power of Positive Dog Training

"Reading Kids and Dogs is like drinking cool, clean water in the middle of a hot, barren dessert! This clear & helpful book fills a gaping hole in the dog literature -- how professionals in the field can help people trying to raise kids and dogs at the same time. I give it all paws up and a body wag from the shoulders back." Patricia B. McConnell, PhD, CAAB
