Does your child dream of having a four-legged friend or encounter dogs on a daily basis?
Interactions with our canine companions are a source of joy, but they can also raise questions for young children.
How should they approach a dog?
What do their barks or wagging tails mean?
Without a good understanding, moments of fear or accidents can occur, ruining a potential relationship.
safely and with newfound confidence. No more doubts-make way for respectful
and caring discovery. Clarisse Ferrère invites you on an educational adventure, inspired by her own journey from a fear of dogs to a passion for them, so that every child can form a special bond with dogs. Here's what your child will discover and master:
* Decoding canine signals: Teach your child to interpret dogs' body language
(tails, ears, postures) to understand their emotions and intentions, from happiness to fear.
* Safe interactions: Master the essential steps for approaching an unfamiliar dog, when
to ask for permission, and which actions to avoid to ensure everyone's safety.
* Petting with love and respect: Learn dogs' favorite spots for petting and
learn to observe their reactions for enjoyable and safe interactions.
* Handling sensitive situations: Discover how to react if a dog shows signs of fear or
anger, to protect both your child and the animal.
* Becoming a responsible owner: Practical advice on caring for a dog,
working dogs, and fun quizzes for interactive and playful learning.
This isn't just a book-it's a learning companion that turns curiosity into knowledge and hesitation into confidence. With its explanatory illustrations and warm, supportive tone, My Four-Legged Friend is the perfect guide to help your child develop a harmonious and lasting relationship with all the dogs they'll meet. Give them the keys to a safe and loving four-legged friendship.
