Living with Kids and Dogs...Without Losing Your Mind (ISBN 1933562668)

Terrific book for all parents of kids & dogs!:
This is one of the very best resources I've found for families with children and dogs. It has lots of practical kid-friendly and dog-friendly tips and ideas. I've recently read hundreds of books on similar topics while researching a book I'm writing, and this one really stood out. As a child/family psychologist, I was impressed with how solid it was, and as a therapy dog trainer, I thought the advice about dogs was spot-on! It deserves all the stars that everyone has given it!!

Practical and positive!:
Colleen writes in a reader friendly manner. Her life experiences as Mom and dog trainer have brought together this wonderful resourceful book families can turn to time and time again! I recommend this book to all families I work with as it describes practical and positive solutions for challenging and hectic lives! :)

doesn' t matter how old your kids are:
This book was very helpful. It is an easy read and lots of little tips.My kids are older, 13,17 and 20, but I still picked up some good information. There are even some fun and easy tricks to teach your dog. I would recommend this to anyone with kids of any age.

Great Resources:
I would highly recommend this book. It is well written, funny and very helpful. The book was recommended to us at a time when we were concerned about one of our dogs and the principles outlined in the book were extremely helpful. A great resource!!

A Must Read for Any Family Getting a Dog:
As a breeder, I recommend this book to all of my clients...even those that just have grandchildren, or nieces and nephews visiting. Good little training tips as well as really great information to help the adults monitor the dog/child interactions to keep everyone happy. So often people just buy traing books for their dogs, ignoring the fact that half of the battle is training your children how to understand the canine body language, and how to behave around the dog! If you have kids, please read this book. Getting a dog is a long-term commitment. Do it right from the start, and you will have a happy and loving family addition for many years to come! Good Luck :))
