Thought I would add this book to this thread as it has been a topic discussed on this board during the last couple of days.
I wrote a review for this book last year on Amazon and it sells for $9.99 and seems a not bad deal for the average dog owner.
The complete title is-
Childproofing your dog: a complete guide to preparing your dog for the children in your life
ISBN 0-446-67016-2
Warner Books, c1994. 88 p. : ill.
A good, common sense reference for that will help your dog or puppy get used to those interactions with short, fast-moving,
screaming little people without making him a nervous wreck. Although primarily a book for owners who are prepping their young
dog/puppy for future child/dog interactions, if you have an older dog that is not used to children these tips prove very sound
advice as well. Also, like any good authors, if you have serious dog/child aggression and dominance they recommend that you
get personal professional help.
What I really like about this book though is the chapter on "DOGPROOFING YOUR CHILD". So many
times it's always the DOGS fault for behaving inappropriately with children. It's nice to know that for once an author is stressing the
importance of teaching your child how to behave around dogs. In the end, they also state that perhaps you would be better off
without certain breeds of dog if you're going to have children. It's not fair to the dog. Sometimes you have to make that your
primary concern. All in all an excellent book. One I would recommend school libraries buy so that children read and learn
from it as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
