DWAA Best Training and Behavior Book Award Winner, 2006! A teen dog expert teaches you to raise and train the perfect pal. Author Kate Eldredge, age 15, knows what it takes for a kid to raise and train a dog - she's been parenting dogs since she was 7. It's a big responsibility, but it has awesome rewards. When you're your dog's caregiver, provider, and trainer, your dog will be your loyal playmate, protector, and confidante for life! Kate gives you the scoop on: choosing the right dog for your family; getting the house ready and establishing a routine; teaching basic household manners; feeding and caring for your dog; dealing with health problems; showing your dog; and activities like obedience trials, sports and community service. Kate's mom, a veterinarian, provides valuable information. A "For Parents Only" section at the end of each chapter tells adults how they can help without taking over. September 2006 DogRead selection!
