Description

Description

The Canine Commandments 2nd Edition guides children, and the adults they live with, to interact more safely with dogs and to minimise the risk of dog bites.

The ‘commandments’ are simple to understand and relevant to all children, whether they already live with a dog or not.

This revised second edition of Kendal Shepherd’s well known book on dog behaviour includes her famous ladder of aggression and additional new features – quizzes, learning objectives and a glossary – to further engage children, and to support discussion and teaching in classroom settings.

Acclaimed artist Anna Currey has beautifully illustrated this new edition.

And if you want to involve your children in dog ownership, by guiding them through the process of taking the dog to the vet, check out Shadow’s Trip to the Vet by Claire Corridan.

Author

Kendal Shepherd is a veterinary surgeon who has studied canine behaviour for many years. Her passion is the prevention of dog bites incidents in all ages, but particularly in children.

    THE CANINE COMMANDMENTS by Kendal shepherd, is a really useful book because it teaches people to be safe around dogs. I would recommend this book to anybody of any age. It would be a good read for anyone who would like to be a vet, learn more about dogs and their behaviour, or get a dog and be safe around them.
    I like that the questions really get you thinking about how the dog might act or feel. For example, page 16 where it teaches you that hurting or pulling a dog into doing some thing is, in their eyes, starting an argument.
    It is a beautifully presented book with a lovely hard back cover, an enjoyable read and the illustrations are brilliant.
