With a kind, positive approach, this dog-training guide shows families how to produce a happy, friendly, and well-behaved dog that can make a fun and loyal best friend for every child. Advice on understanding a dog's body language, dealing with health and hygiene issues, and preventing a child from being bitten is provided in a series of illustrated step-by-step lessons that are simple enough for children to follow along with their parents. Choosing a suitable type of dog and involving all family members in its care are addressed, as well as teaching children to behave safely and responsibly around their new pet. Specific training lessons focus on teaching dogs basic household behaviors and fun tricks, including how to sit, heel, jump, wait for a meal, and shake hands.
