Good Dog! Kids Teach Kids About Dog Behavior and Training

Kids Get Dog Smart!
When kids teach kids about dogs, everybody has fun. Read this book and youâ€™ll learn how to watch a dog and figure out what heâ€™s feeling. Youâ€™ll know whether a dog is happy or wants to be left alone, and youâ€™ll learn how to teach him to do cool things like â€œSit,â€ â€œCome,â€ â€œLie Downâ€ and have good manners around food, just like a professional dog trainer would. Show everyone how you can help a dog be a Good Dog!

For parents and teachers
Children need to learn to play safely with dogs in their family and in the community. Written by children for children, Good Dog! teaches children to read a dogâ€™s body language and use this knowledge to be kind, respectful, and safe around dogs. It also builds childrenâ€™s confidence by teaching them how to train dogs with positive reinforcementâ€”and to have fun doing it. The positive, non-punitive training methods are endorsed by professional dog trainers and child safety experts. But donâ€™t tell the kids thatâ€”tell them itâ€™s just plain FUN!

What professionals say about Good Dog!
This book, created by kids who clicker train, tells other kids how to use clickers to understand and communicate with their pets: a great idea and a useful and amusing book, with illustrations by the authors.
Karen Pryor, author of Don't Shoot the Dog! and Reaching the Animal Mind. Vice President, the Pryor Foundation.

We know that kids learn best from their peers so it is surprising that it has taken so long to get a dog training book written by kids for kids. GOOD DOG! Kids Teach Kids about Dog Behavior and Training covers the real essentials of being responsible and effective in caring for and training dogs. The emphasis is on safety and empathy two things often overlooked in the profusion of books by adults. A must read for any child or teen starting out with a new dog, or trying to better understand a long-time companion.
Randall Lockwood, Ph.D., CAAB, author and Senior Vice President ASPCA, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

GOOD DOG! Kids Teach Kids about Dog Behavior and Training is a wonderful addition to the dog training literature and unique in that the authors are children. Hilary and Evelyn clearly explain the powerful clicker training method and include humor, empathy and information kids need to understand what their canine friend is thinking and how to keep themselves safe around dogs.
