The Canine Commandments by Kendal Shepherd

publication date: May 2, 2007

In response to the terrible tragedies that have befallen young children  who have been badly savaged - sometimes to the point of death - by a family pet, vet Kendal Shepherd has set about producing a guide for children that will help them understand what makes their canine companions tick.

Beginning with “Being cross does not make you boss” and ending with “Teach your dog to say ‘please’”, The Canine Commandments makes good, sensible reading and is wittily illustrated throughout by Victor Ambrus.

Even young children will benefit from having this book read to them and the introduction written for parents is excellent.

Mathew, aged 10, who doesn't own a dog but regularly looks after a friend's, liked the book  "because it teaches you how to look after your dog and it was easy to read.

"I like Commandments 3 and 9 especially. 3 is important because hitting or kicking a dog is animal cruelty and it will make your dog badly behaved. I like 9 because if you take an object by force it could damage your dog's teeth and give the dog toothache.

"I don't like the pictures because they are a bit dull but I would still buy the book."

Phoebe, aged 9,  and about to become a dog-owner, loved the book and read it in one sitting.

"This book is about how to train your dog properly! I enjoyed it because it’s fun to read and has good advice inside. I liked it when it shows you the ladder of aggression.

"I would recommend this book because the illustrations are great. I also think it’s a fab book for all people with dogs or going to get a dog. It helps me prepare."
