 Very good April 26, 2008

Very good book, more geared toward introducing your dog to a new child rather than vice versa (which is what I was looking for) though it was a worthwhile purchase as it had lots of things to teach your child about dogs so that was helpful.
The best dog/baby book February 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been teaching dog and baby classes at our humane society and local hospitals for seven years, and despite my own plans to write a similar book, I was thrilled to read this book. It's all there: great step-by-step training plans, informative photos and descriptions of body language and lots of information about how to "train" your child to be safe and to be a good friend to dogs. I recommend it as my first choice for expectant parents and parents of small children.
Useful ideas for introducing baby to family with dogs. July 30, 2007
Much more informative than some other books on market for same subject. Shumannfang goes into much more detail on training tips for focusing your dog as well as the importance of remembering to be in control of all situations. Too many parents trust the dog and kids to play together with minimal to no supervision, including professionals who should know better. Shummanfang stresses the need to consult trainers and veterinarians/veterinary behaviorists to insure baby safety and to be fair to the dog. Definitely a must read. S. Loter, DVM
Great Advice! May 14, 2007
This "how to" book is a must for all dog owners who are expecting a new baby. You know how much you want to do what's best for baby and your beloved dog, too? Well, this is your answer!
Happy Kids, happy Dogs March 27, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As a dog behavior consultant and trainer I frequently work with parents seeking to prepare their dogs for the new arrival or who are already parents and experiencing difficulties with the family dog. This book provides excellent support with easy to follow, practical, step-by-step exercises, useful photos depicting dog behavior cues, a realistic portrayal of the parent-dog-child relationship and wonderful resources. It encompasses dog-child interaction from infancy to teen. I am delighted to have Happy Kids, Happy Dogs to recommend to my clients. A must for parents to be or anyone who shares their lives with children and dogs.
