I don’t think that anyone does presentation better than National Geographic and they have put out several books that are perfect for under the tree or in the stocking this year. Two interesting entries from them is Fetch! A How to Speak Dog Training Guide and Pounce! A How to Speak Cat Training Guide. For pet owners with kids, this is a great gift idea.
For children, it’s a great thing for them to have an understanding for the family pet and these books are great for that, including overviews of their behavior and how to interact. The path to training is examined and paths to success are discussed.
Along with the introduction to the animals, it goes over what their mannerisms mean. This is going to save a lot of kids from getting clawed by their cats or bit by their dogs. The focus of training makes a lot of sense and it’s explained from various experts that will bring success even for older pets.
These are great guides to pet ownership and behavior and it also gives suggestions for toys and activities for the pets and how to make them happy and make them the ideal pet. The books have great images and information. I recommend them for any families with children and pets. These are good stocking stuffers.
