A six-week program to get people and dogs off on the right paw! Includes trouble-shooting tips for what to do when your dog doesn't respond as expected. This is a book that many trainers will want their students to read.

At last! A kids-and-dogs book written by someone who "gets it!" Simple, realistic advice for busy parents to help ensure that the relationship between their kids and their dog is safe and enjoyable for all.

What is it that kids need to know about dogs? How to be safe around dogs, how to recognize what a dog is doing, and how to learn the right way to train a dog are three good places to start. And, of course, it's really cool if the authors understand kids and speak their language, which in the case of Good Dog! they do because the authors are kids themselves. A fun and educational book on dogs, written by kids for kids!

This book will revolutionise how families relate to dogs and take the guesswork out of kid-and-dog interactions.

If your dog could talk, what would he say? Now you can find out why your dog wags his tail, how your dog tells you he wants to play, and what your dog is saying when he barks. And learning to speak Dog is easy!

The presence of a new baby in the home may upset some dogs, so preparing your pet for the arrival of another family member is vital.

Adult dogs who have not previously been exposed to babies can find it particularly difficult to adjust in a change in family structure and dynamics.  A dog bite to a baby can prove to be fatal - both for the child and the animal - but with proactive steps, you can greatly reduce the probability of your dog creating negative assocations to your baby.

With education, preparation and dedication you can radically improve the chances of making the transition easier and safer for all.  This book is packed with useful information to help prepare children and dogs for each other, while being  fun, easy to read and full of practical tips to manage many real life problems.

Terry Ryan is one of the most well-known figures in the world of positive dog training. She has been a mentor to a generation of trainers world-wide. In The Toolbox for Building a Great Family Dog, Terry presents a complete guide to help families raise a happy and well-mannered dog using techniques and games that are both fun and effective.

The focus of this book is the family dog and all that phrase implies including the interactions between kids and dogs, household management strategies, common behavioral problems and training games the whole family (and dog!) can enjoy.

This practical guide provides information on how to choose a family dog and on how best to prepare a dog for the arrival of a new baby. This is an indispensable companion for all those sharing their everyday lives with children and dogs.
