This book brings together authoritative information about the
child/dog bond as it is manifested with family dogs, visiting
therapy dogs, and service dogs trained to assist children with
disabilities. Despite the widely accepted view that participating
in a dog's care and interacting with dogs in behaviorally healthy
ways is a route to becoming responsible and compassionate, research
on this complex dynamic is difficult to design, time-consuming to
collect, and challenging to analyze. This volume synthesizes
theory, research, and practice, bringing all to bear upon child/dog
interactions in homes, schools, libraries, and the community at
large. Children, Dogs and Education serves as a handbook for a
diverse group of adults who seek to build positive relationships
between children and dogs-parents/families, professional dog
trainers, teachers, librarians, mental health professionals, health
care professionals, and university faculty. The study of
interactions between human and nonhuman animals has captured the
imagination of an international community of researchers from many
different fields and professions. Even though dogs are ubiquitous
in the lives of most children, studies of children's interactions
with dogs in families and communities are lacking. Most of the
previous research on the human-canine bond has focused on
adolescents and adults or, even when younger children are the
focus, it has tended to rely on parents to speak for children.
There are three features of this book that make it unique. First,
it goes beyond exploring the child/dog bond to examine additional
important issues, including: children's concepts of responsible
care, their ability to interpret dogs' behavioral cues, and their
ideas about canine behavioral issues/training. Second, unlike most
other work to date, it represents children's voices through cases,
interviews, and drawings. Finally, the contributors to this edited
work use their collective wisdom to draw educational implications
and suggest direction in preparing the next generation of dog
guardians.
