 Useful for anyone whose dog will be around children. June 7, 2000
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
I found this book to be very helpful and informative. Although I don't have kids of my own my next door neighbours have small children who love my dogs, and occasionally people bring their children to my house. The many training tips in this book have helped me prepare myself and my dogs for situations in which the dogs will interact with kids, and contributed greatly to our peace of mind!
Very helpful book June 7, 2000

This book leads you through the process of preparing your existing dog for the arrival of a new baby, and shows how this new stress is likely to bring some holes in your dog's training to the forefront. It also offers helpful advice if you already have children and are thinking of acquiring a family dog. It also has an important chapter called "Dogproofing Your Child" on teaching your child how to behave around animals.
Brings much-needed common sense to kids & dogs subject. February 19, 1999

Kilcommons does new families a great favor with this book. "Child-proofing Your Dog" is a common sense approach to introducing your new child to your dog, preventing problems, and ensuring a long, close relationship. He dispels myths and gives new parents an idea of what to expect both from their dog and from themselves. He identifies often-missed (or exused) signs of dominance in dogs, explaining the natural progression from dominance to aggression if left unchecked. In cases where there is a specific problem involving advanced aggression toward a child he advises going to a professional, as would any responsible dog trainer in print. Kilcommons and Wilson have years of experience and wisdom in dog behavior and training; they've written a trustworthy, important 'preventative manual.'
 Doesn't live up to it's title January 2, 1999

This book is very superficial and is fine unless you are actually having a problem with your dog. If you have a problem, the author just recommends getting professional help. If you are really interested in dealing with potential problems between your dog and children, I recommend "The Dog's Mind" by Bruce Fogle.
