Description
A Child's Book of Dog Body Language with Pictures
Help Keep Children Safe
Empower Kids with Confidence, Respect, and Safety Around Dogs
Every day, children encounter dogs -- at home, on the street, or at the park. While most dogs are friendly and gentle, misunderstandings can happen when kids (and even adults) don't recognize the signals dogs use to communicate. What if there was a simple, engaging way to teach children how to read a dog's feelings -- and respond in a way that builds trust rather than fear? Yet also helps them reconize aggressive or potentially dangerous ones to avoid.
This beautifully illustrated book turns real-life photos into a learning adventure. Read together, page by page, and discover how dogs "talk" with their bodies:
•
Happy and relaxed
•
Unsure or nervous
•
Overwhelmed or stressed
•
Warning signs
By recognizing these cues, children learn when it's safe to approach, how to offer a gentle greeting, and when to give a dog space. Rather than "rules" alone, this book equips kids with real skills -- so they can build positive, respectful relationships with dogs throughout their lives.
