"Seek assistance from an appropriate veterinarian"

This book should be called "seek assistance from an appropriate veterinarian". The author says it about every paragraph. Book had some useful info but wasn't overall helpful to prepare a dog for baby. Lots of vagueness and the majority can already be learned if your dog has taken an introductory training class.

Nope

They lost me when the author recommended euthanizing a dog for unwanted aggressive behavior. Coming from a dog owner, I would never do this. I would go through every training program possible before putting a dog down due to a behavior change when their environment has changed. Just like people adjusting to new environment sometimes it requires work to achieve a new level of comfort. I would never recommend this book to any dog owner expecting a new child. We work to build a family and we work to keep a family and that means our dogs.
