Your Dog and Your Baby: A Practical Guide
"An excellent book - friendly, reassuring and crammed full of solid advice. Who better to write this book than someone who is not just an outstanding trainer herself, but has personal experience of the ups and downs of having dogs and babies in the home together? I recommend it highly to every mother to be, of course, but also to all dog trainers and advisors, because you'll be asked those very questions and come into those very situations that Silvia tells us about in such clear and explicit terms." Max Eversfield, President, Greenlights DTC  "Your Dog & Your Baby is essential reading for all Mums-to-be and new Mums. It prepares the dog owning family for the arrival of the new baby, teaches how to avoid problems when baby does arrive and how to have a happy baby/dog relationship from day one. It teaches how to solve the problems before they happen by preparing your dog for the birth of your baby. I am a dog behaviour counsellor and I recommend this book very strongly to all pregnant women with a dog in the family - and to fellow professionals, too!" Rowna Wyatt, President, BOA  "In my experience of hospital paediatrics I come across terrible injuries caused by family dogs which should have been avoided. Silvia Kent's book is the ideal guidance and preparation for the parent and dog owner and will most certainly prevent many problems when bringing up dogs and children together." Dr Katya Villa, Paediatrician  "In this priceless book, Silvia Kent combines her deep knowledge of dogs with her knowledge of being a mother. Never before has there been such a need for the information contained within these pages. These are the answers to the questions and concerns mothers and mothers to be want to know about." John Fisher, Founder, The Association For Pet Behaviour Counsellors  "A superb book, written with compassion and enthusiasm that will stop dogs being put down and re-homed unnecessarily on the one hand, and on the other hand will save many a child from the terrible trauma of being bitten by a family pet. An absolute must-have for every instructor, dog trainer, club library." Roy Hunter, President, Anglo American Dog Training  "Your Dog & Your Baby is a well written guide and all aspiring parents who are dog owners are well advised to read it and take note of the sensible advice. I recommend it highly." Lena Bernhem-Parter, Community & Maternity Nurse  "This book should have been written long ago - all too many children these days have to grow up without ever experiencing the joy a dog can bring. Your Dog & Your Baby puts the record straight and parent's mind at ease." Michele Boys BIPDT, Founder, Canine Crusaders  "Delightfully illustrated, this is an excellent book for all dog owning parents."
