Dog Training for Kids: Fun and Easy Ways to Care for Your Furry Friend Paperback – November 26, 2019

I cannot recommend Dog Training for Kids by Vanessa Estrada Marin enough! This book has been a game-changer for our family as we welcomed a new puppy. While it’s written with kids in mind, it’s just as helpful for adults. The language is clear and easy to understand, and the step-by-step instructions are simple to follow. I’d say it’s perfect for kids around 2nd grade (7 years old) and up.What makes this book stand out is how incredibly organized it is. Whether you're looking for a specific command, behavior issue, or question, it's super easy to flip to the exact section you need. It even includes troubleshooting tips and sample daily schedules by age, which we found incredibly helpful.Our 8-year-old has really taken more ownership and responsibility with our puppy thanks to this book. For some reason, when we say, “Don’t keep repeating the command—wait 10 seconds to give the puppy time to respond,” it doesn’t quite land. But when the book says it? Instant compliance! It really empowers kids to learn and practice training in a fun, structured way.As a bonus, I took it to our local UPS store and had it spiral bound. Now I can lay it flat on the counter or fold it back and hold it with one hand while training—so convenient!Whether you're a brand-new puppy owner or have some experience under your belt, this book is a must-have for both kids and adults. Truly one of the most practical and enjoyable training books we've used.

Grandkids got a golden retriever puppy for Christmas so I got them this book. The book is well organized, fun to read and the instructions and explanations are great. My granddaughter is reading this book almost everyday as part of her homework. The only problem we’ve had is the puppy, Lilly, tries to eat the book when the kids leave it out.

She loved the book it got her off the tablet and was able to enjoy reading and working with the dog to practice her skills

The media could not be loaded. This book is amazing to help get your kid involved in puppy training! From simple commands to more complex ones this book has it all!

My 10yr old niece recently got a pair of dogs. She loves them and she loves reading books. This was the perfect gift for her as there are lots of pictures and very easy to understand for the young ones. She uses it regularly as a reference and that's a big win in my book.

My smart 10 yr old granddaughter is going to appreciate this book. She is trying hard to teach her 8 month old blue heeler some tricks and commands. She’s doing great on her own, but I think this book will give her some good guidance. Simple to read with illustrations. I think this is right up her alley, and she’ll appreciate it. She’s a great reader, so I think this book would be great for someone like her, age/reading ability/learning about dogs.

I bought this for my 10 year old nephew and his 9 month old puppy. This book is thick with lots of small print, I hope it will hold his interest.I was very frustrated that it doesn't say anything about biting/nipping. That's a big problem with most pups. It only says that dogs will "mouth" and that's how they play with other dogs. Nothing about how to correct that.Just received it an hour ago. I'm going to peruse it a little more, it's up in the air if I'm going to return it.

My daughter has used this so much that it is falling apart I have to figure out how to put it back together. It is great for beginners as well as kids teens easy to read and follow
