Family & Lifestyle

There are few things more exciting than bringing home a new puppy—those tiny paws, the wiggling tail, the instant joy that fills the house. But as every parent knows, that joy quickly comes with new routines, early mornings, and the occasional chewed slipper. That’s where Kimberly J. Parker’s Puppy Training for Kids: Fun and Easy Ways to Care for Your New Puppy for Kids Ages 6–9 comes in—a cheerful, hands-on guide that transforms puppy chaos into a family adventure.

Parker’s approach is refreshingly simple: make training a shared experience. Instead of leaving the grown-ups to handle everything, she invites children into the process from day one. With friendly illustrations, easy-to-follow checklists, and playful step-by-step lessons, the book helps kids understand their puppy’s needs, emotions, and signals—turning learning into bonding.

Each chapter builds skills in confidence and empathy as much as obedience. Kids learn how to read a puppy’s body language, teach commands like “Sit” and “Stay,” and handle common challenges—like barking or biting—with patience and kindness. There’s even room for celebration: Parker includes a Puppy Trainer Certificate of Achievement to mark progress and keep motivation high.

What sets this guide apart is its tone. Rather than feeling instructional or rigid, Puppy Training for Kids reads like a family conversation—encouraging teamwork, laughter, and gentle communication. Parker, an experienced trainer and educator, bridges the gap between structure and play, helping kids develop responsibility without pressure.

From homemade treat recipes to printable potty charts, every page is designed to make those first few weeks not just manageable—but memorable.

Because, as Parker reminds us, training a puppy isn’t just about obedience—it’s about growing together.
