Mom! Dad! Can We Have a Dog? Please?

The goal of "Mom! Dad! Can We Have a Dog? Please? is to have the best chance for a great family/dog relationship. The book begins with the background work to discover if the family is ready to have a dog - mentally, physically and financially. There are quizzes for the family to take, and lists for each family member to make about what they want and need in a dog. The parents are the ultimate decision makers and using this book with the children (if feels like playing, not like a chore) will help everyone in the family know there are responsibilities to share. This book has fun facts about dogs and help with choosing your dog: How to be a pack leader for our dogs; what dog training can do for your family and how to find it; a check list to see if your house is ready for your new dog; a bibliography of dog reference books. Hasty choices may result in a sad and disappointed family and a dog hoping to find another home. You can change that!
