Do you want your child and dog to build a solid relationship based on trust and cooperation? Don’t worry, you can get it with very little effort. It’s just a matter of recognizing your dog’s signs of stress so that you know when your dog is upset by your children’s activity or identify serious behavioral problems before someone gets hurt.
This is a really helpful guide to the relationship between kids and dogs, a definitive firewall against chaos, dedicated to parents and written by someone who knows what she’s talking about – Colleen Pelar is both dog trainer and mother. In accessible, fun and simple language, the chapters provide specific help in dealing with the situation at each stage of your children’s lives.
