What Reviewers are saying…
The Bark Magazine (Sep/Oct 2006)
"Happy Kids, Happy Dogs is unfailingly logical in its presentation of ideas, with clear explanations and step-by-step training instructions on such diverse topics as the three secrets to a well-behaved dog, the top three cues your dog should respond to and how to teach them, when to get help, dos and don'ts for child behavior, games kids can play with their dogs, and rules to follow when kids visit.”
Steve Dale’s Pet World (Nationally syndicated column and radio show)
"This is a desperately needed book, and the title says it all! It’s all about setting up a relationship that kids and dogs should have…This book more than about preventing dog bites (important since most bites happen to children, and by the family’s own dog), it’s all about making those special child/canine bonds happen and then flourish. It all begins with fun, and with mutual respect. Two important parts of this book: What parents need to know about violence to companion animals, and about how to say goodbye to a pet, coping with loss and grief.”
