Kids and puppies make natural friends. This heavily illustrated guide is written especially for kids, with information on dogs and how they develop and grow. Just as important are easy to understand instructions for boys and girls on puppy training and care. Kids learn what to feed puppies and how much to give them, and how to play games that are safe and enjoyable. They also learn basics of puppy handling and grooming, giving commands and teaching obedience, tricks they can teach young canines, and much more. There are instructive and charming full-color photographs throughout the book. Suitable for ages 9-12, or 4-8 with parents guidance.

A wonderful educational guide for children who want to train their puppy properly, with supervision & advice from parents. It's loaded with interesting facts, explains dog behaviors, how to become a responsible pet owner, valuable safety tips, and fun to follow training tips to help their dog become a delightful pet. And all positive too!
This book is my most recommended book for children. And if the parents read it along with them, then can learn lots too. And all the kiddos that have read it, love it as well.

In my humble opinion... when you title a book "Puppy Training for Kids" it should be written on the level for which the audience is intended. This book is way too complex and dull for children. It has a lot of information in it and is not presented in the best manner. Kids need to be educated in a way that makes it interesting to them. This book made my daughter feel like she was in school. Writing a book and putting photos of kids with dogs does not constitute "Puppy Training for Kids" in my book. It should of been titled "Mommy Please Read This Book and Tell Me How To Train My Puppy" sorry folks
Great for kids, it works!!! August 30, 2008

This book was purchased for a friend who has a son, age 12. She just got a dog but was contemplating the pound because the dog was more active than she could deal with. With the help of the book her son was able to teach the dog to sit in just a little over a week. Considering his age and the fact that he has no "dog training experience" I think that was a fairly good accomplishment for both him and the dog. The book was worth every penny.
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.

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!
