Palika, Liz. Dog Obedience.


Palika, Liz.  Dog Obedience.  Capstone Publishers, 2012.  32p.  $26.65  ISBN 978-1-4296-6525-4  elm/ms      VG-BNes          
     This easy-to-read manual could be a godsend to a child with a new dog, and his or her parents as well.  It gives simple but effective step-by-step instructions on training a dog to sit, heel, walk, wait, and so on.  The illustrations are good and appropriate to the text.  The Facthound internet site actually takes the reader to two very good websites, the American Kennel Club site and another one that is geared specifically to young children.  A short list of other books is included as well, and vocabulary words are defined on a page-by-page basis. 
     Other books in this series, Dog Ownership, include Dog Care, Dog Tricks and Speaking Dog. 
Subject:  Dogs -- Training
