Description
The Canine Commandments guides children, and the adults they live with, to interact more safely with dogs and to minimise the risk of a bite.
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.
Kendal Shepherd is a veterinary surgeon who has studied canine behaviour for many years. Her passion is the prevention of dog bite incidents in all ages, but particularly in children.
This new edition has been beautifully illustrated by acclaimed artist Anna Currey.
