A great read and guide for my son July 21, 2008
I never did read of the this book. I just skimmed over it. I bought it for my son whom devoured it rather quickly (considering he just got a new puppy). He keeps telling me tips from the book; some that I knew and other ones that were new. So yes, it is a great read for children who have just gotten a new puppy or close to getting one.
Best Puppy Book for Kids! October 5, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As preparation for a puppy for our 10-year-old son, we had him commit to reading this book first. Each night he read alone, and then we read together. It was not only informative, easy to read and follow, but a great shared time as well! It was the perfect "first" book to introduce our son into the upcoming responsibilities of having a dog. I also realized how neglectful I was in raising our now adult Labrador, and how much I want to re-train her with our son's puppy, too!
Great book for kids August 23, 2007
If you have a puppy or young dog, this book is great for your kids who want to help train it. It has great pictures and some neat tricks for the dog to learn.
Very informative book for children 9 and up. January 29, 2006

The illustrations in this book are beautiful and easy to understand. Children can follow and understand how to care for and train their new puppy. This is not a book for people who are looking to learn about dog behavior the history of a dog. You will need to find a more informative book like; Good Owners, Great Dogs by Brian Kilcommons for that kind of information. But for older children who want to learn to care for their dog this is a good book for them.

excellent book for children February 23, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book for your children if you plan to make puppy a new member of your family. It guides the children through the various stages of training a puppy, has good photographs supporting the text and highlights certain important phrases. Whislt it, of course, does not cover all aspects of dog traing, it does not need to do that: the training will be the adults responsibility, and not the child's. The child however can and should support those efforts and by reading this book can add to the training and hence become a responsible dog owner her/ himself.
