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

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.

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.

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!

Pretty good. Easy to understand unlike a lot of other dog books. I think it's just a little lacking in information, but it's a great book to start with, above average.

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.

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.

Good book for "reader age" children. Easy to follow instructions. Fast shipping and all what I expected . I recommend this book for children willing to train their puppy.

Very young children will need older siblings or parents to help them read this book, but is an excellent book. It includes guidance for parents as to age-appropriate advice on how to include or limit children's handling of a new puppy. Good illustrations and it integrates the latest instructional theories for puppies. Of course, the inclusion of basic tricks will make the kids happy!

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.
