Dog Training: A Hands-On Guide for Your Child

by Pinky Jones

Helping to care for a family dog can teach your child responsibility and empathy. It can also encourage more physical activity. But in our digital age kids may need to be coaxed away from their electronics.

Giving them a defined role in helping to train the family pet is one way of doing this.

This book takes your child through the basics of rewards based dog training as popularized by Karen Pryor and others. Your child is shown how to teach a dog some basic commands and tricks.

This book is meant to be read with your school-aged child. All dog training sessions should be closely supervised by an adult. Dog training is a family affair and provides an opportunity for fragmented families to bond by sharing a common goal- a well-mannered dog.

Although the book is directed to the school-aged child, the section on safety could be read to much younger children.

Buy this book and get your child started on a fun activity that will teach him or her some valuable life lessons.
