Children often wish for a dog more than anything else. For the dream of a close friendship to come true, both must develop a sense of each other. Before acquiring a four-legged friend, several fundamental aspects should be considered. This book provides basic knowledge about dog behavior and needs, initial training steps, and of course, the interaction between dogs and children at different developmental stages. Misunderstandings and conflict situations can be avoided, allowing for better guidance in the interactions between children and dogs. Parents and children will find a roadmap to a safe child-dog team here.
