Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together authoritative information about the child/dog bond as it is manifested with family dogs, visiting therapy dogs, and service dogs trained to assist children with disabilities. Despite the widely accepted view that participating in a dog’s care and interacting with dogs in behaviorally healthy ways is a route to becoming responsible and compassionate, research on this complex dynamic is difficult to design, time-consuming to collect, and challenging to analyze. This volume synthesizes theory, research, and practice, bringing all to bear upon child/dog interactions in homes, schools, libraries, and the community at large. Children, Dogs and Education serves as a handbook for a diverse group of adults who seek to build positive relationships between children and dogs—parents/families, professional dog trainers, teachers, librarians, mental health professionals, health care professionals, and university faculty. The study of interactions between human and nonhuman animals has captured the imagination of an international community of researchers from many different fields and professions. Even though dogs are ubiquitous in the lives of most children, studies of children’s interactions with dogs in families and communities are lacking. Most of the previous research on the human-canine bond has focused on adolescents and adults or, even when younger children are the focus, it has tended to rely on parents to speak for children. There are three features of this book that make it unique. First, it goes beyond exploring the child/dog bond to examine additional important issues, including: children’s concepts of responsible care, their ability to interpret dogs’ behavioral cues, and their ideas about canine behavioral issues/training. Second, unlike most other work to date, it represents children’s voices through cases, interviews, and drawings. Finally, the contributors to this edited work use their collective wisdom to draw educational implications and suggest direction in preparing the next generation of dog guardians.

Book excerpt: Puppies: Puppy Book For Kids is a book about learning the fun way to love & care for your first dog.Puppies are so cute, cuddly and down right irresistible and Coco was no exception! From the moment we laid eyes on her, there was just that something about Coco that yelled out "TAKE ME HOME; TAKE ME HOME!!" In his book, the author shares the joy of owning and taking care of Coco his Toy Poodle. The photos in this book have been "chosen by Coco" and taken out of Coco's personal portfolio just as they are. No photoshopping, enhancing or manipulating in any shape or form. They will bring Coco alive and show her as authentic, cute and down right adorable!Puppies, no matter what kind of dog it is, always look cute and cuddly. They excite children... heck, they excite and melt all of our hearts when we see them. It's like they are born to love us right from day 1. Their joy and happiness are evident from the minute they "arrive" in the world.But, as the author also found out, owning a puppy is exhausting work. Even for a small little Toy Poodle!! Although fun, this book is intended to bring out some of the responsibilities of owning a puppy together with the joys and rewards. It's about Puppy Love: A children's book about learning the fun way to love & care for your first dog.Children are always attracted to dogs, and more specifically, to puppies. What's not to love and draw you to that cute little bundle of fur. It's like children can see that these animals are their perfect playmate. Puppies have something that shares their own energy level. The pictures in this book will show the playfulness and cuteness of a puppy while the text brings a certain amount of education about keeping and caring for a dog. Added to that, the author has also included some fun learning experiences for the children reading the book e.g. counting balls; recognizing objects in photos; participating in what they see.Just like children, dogs learn extremely quickly and that their behaviors have consequences. Dogs are particularly responsive to praise so it's important to constantly praise your dog when it does something well (or what you want). This will go a long way to teaching your dog obedience and control.Some of the responsibilities shared in the book are things like walking or exercising the dog including the responsibility of cleaning up after it, washing, brushing, grooming, health care e.g. vaccinations, feeding, keeping the water bowl full, training and the need for obedience. Children are helped to understand these concepts with the illustrations and related text.For parents of children "begging" to have a puppy, this book will serve to help prepare them for dog ownership. The book should encourage meaningful conversation about the merits of owning a dog along with the duties that need to be considered with that ownership. It will also help evaluate the readiness for that big step of "Puppy Love" and owning Your First Dog.

This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children and companion animals seem to have a natural affinity towards each other. Most children desire a relationship with their own companion animals or at least demonstrate an interest to interact with animals in general. Living with companion animals or interacting with animals may have psychosocial, neurobiological, or medically relevant effects on typically developing children and juveniles as well as those with diverse and special needs. In this eBook, we present several articles addressing the relationships between children/juveniles and animals in different countries, including Austria, Germany, Jamaica, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Three articles discuss approaches in animal-assisted education, including animal keeping and animal assisted interventions in schools, and an experimental study investigating immediate effects of dogs on reading competence and accompanying stress reactions with cortisol and behavior. Other articles address topics involving children and their companion animals, including dog-walking by children and juveniles, risks of dog bites by the family dog, selection of pet dogs for families with a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the relationships that children with ASD have with their family cats. The interactions between children/juveniles and animals addressed in this eBook provide new insights into some scarcely investigated themes, and underline the significance of animals in children's lives.

Book excerpt: Every day, Stanley the dog watched all the children in his neighborhood walk down his street and into their school, where they stayed until the afternoon. And every day he got more and more curious. “What did the kids do in that school all day?” His dog friends at the park didn’t know any more than he did. So they decided to find out, and together they made their way to the bottom of the stairs in front of the school. “And that’s when Stanley got an idea. A big idea. A bold idea! An idea so daring, it made his fur stand up. ‘Why don’t we go inside?’ he said.” What could be more fun than four dogs running loose in an elementary school? Not much. Until they get caught, that is! Small children love stories about things in their world getting turned upside down, and this story delivers in a big way. This sixth book in the bestselling series from the multi-award-winning team of Linda Bailey and Bill Slavin will have children roaring with delight, as the dogs are shown in hilarious detail making their way through lunch boxes, chasing basketballs and upending instruments and paint jars before eventually getting marched out by the principal (the “top dog” at the school). This book is a natural for a lively read-aloud, but it could also spark a discussion about seeing things from another’s point of view, in this case a dog’s.
