      Synopsis

      Children are the most frequent victims of dog bites and 80 percent of such bites come from the family dog, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Help your dog and your baby become friends. Happy Kids, Happy Dogs offers easy to follow exercises and practical dog training tips presented according to your child’s developmental stages. Written by the prenatal instructor for safe dog-child interactions at Duke University Health System and University of North Carolina Women’s Hospital.

      Happy Kids, Happy Dogs includes dozens of instructional photographs, a quiz, advice for each stage of your child’s development, and a comprehensive resources section for kids and adults alike. You’ll find the latest advice on how to prepare your dog for your baby’s arrival, what to do if your child is afraid of dogs, and how to choose the best dog for your family.

      Partial profits from sales of Happy Kids, Happy Dogs go to non-profit groups that help at-risk youth and shelter dogs.

      March 27, 2006: As a dog behavior consultant and trainer I frequently work with parents seeking to prepare their dogs for the new arrival or who are already parents and experiencing difficulties with the family dog. This book provides excellent support with easy to follow, practical, step-by-step exercises, useful photos depicting dog behavior cues, a realistic portrayal of the parent-dog-child relationship and wonderful resources. It encompasses dog-child interaction from infancy to teen. I am delighted to have Happy Kids, Happy Dogs to recommend to my clients. A must for parents to be or anyone who shares their lives with children and dogs.
