Have you ever seen a child or adult approach a dog and get bitten? Or gone up to a seemingly friendly dog and been snapped at when you tried to pet him? Dogs frequently bite or snap when they are fearful or uncomfortable around unfamiliar people, and humans frequently approach in ways that are unintentionally rude and threatening.
Written by one of the leading veterinarian/animal behaviorists in the country, this book shares eight simple rules on how to greet a new dog and what to avoid. Using analogies and illustrations that make the greeting mistakes both memorable and clear, this book is appropriate for both children and adults.
How to Greet a Dog and What to Avoid edition by Sophia Yin Lili Chin Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks
For adults who are unsure, or for teaching children, or even just as reminders, this little book is just right.I read it on the cloud reader--which was good because it turns out the points are made by nice, colorful, easy to understand (without being preachy) cartoon drawings all contained in a mere 113 Kindle location size.
The basic points are (without just rewriting the points):
1. Don't approach dogs in cars...
2. Approach slowly and calmly...
3. Ask for permission...
4. Avoid staring at dogs head on....
5. Don't loom...
6. Avoid reaching into...
7. Avoid interacting if...
8. Touch and pet...
Super highly-recommended by a certain dog who may have snapped once (completely out of character) when her head was unexpectedly held while a face loomed over her.

How to Greet a Dog and What to Avoid edition by Sophia Yin Lili Chin Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
I read this book along with a 5th grader in my class. My students have checklists of genres they need to read, and I'm planning to encourage many students to read this book as their instructional nonfiction item. The student who read this story, as you will see from her review, does have a fear of dogs and I think she was very comforted by the advice in the story. I found the language and rules to be very approachable and understandable. The difficulty level was a little low for the average 5th grader's target reading range, but overall this was a good read. Here is my student's review.
The last book I read was Sammy Keyes and the Wedding Crasher. I picked this book to read because I am pretty scared of dogs and I wanted to learn about how to not be as afraid. I liked how there were rules that you could follow and practice before you see a dog. I even practiced them at home with my cat. I think they will help me. I gave this book four stars.
This is a must guide for how to approach a dog in a manner that does not scare him. It appears that you should treat a dog as if he were a kindergarten child. With cute illustrations and concise guidelines, you will memorize the contents by heart in no time soon!
This is a brief but expressive little book. Because so many children are dog bite victims, and many very bad bites are to the face, it's worth the time and effort to teach these concepts to every child you know.
You will find this little book to be very useful when explaining how to greet a dog in a way that children will understand. The kids should appreciate that they ought to treat dogs with the same consideration they expect for themselves. I've run into plenty of adults who need these basic lessons, too!
My obedience instructor uses many of Dr. Yin's freely available materials in her puppy kindergarten and basic obedience classes.
I also recommend that you pay attention to Dr. Yin's blog, web site, and video clips that show clearly how easy it is to teach a dog a new concept or behavior. My favorite is the one where she teaches her dog to put both front feet in a box on the floor using just treats and the word "Yes!" It took a total of about three minutes.
My kids are afraid of dogs, I'm sure-in part-because we don't have any pets. I got this book for my daughters in hopes that it would help them to respond to dogs better.
We read it together quite a few times, as they didn't want to forget anything. The next time we encountered a pet they were no longer afraid of the dog. I even heard my 4 yr old telling someone that she knew all about how to talk to dogs, because she had read a book about it. She was so proud.
All in all, a good book for little ones to understand the right and wrong ways to approach a dog. I loved that it explained the "whys" of manners with strange dogs. That way the kids know what to anticipate and why, which helps them to remember better.
This is a really good colourful book. This could either be viewed one on one with a child (or they could read it themselves) or you could connect your PC to an OHP screen and present it to a class in a library or a classroom. Most picture books aren't really designed for , being just hard copies scanned and end up in the top half or the screen, but How to Greet a Dog seems to have been properly designed for devices and PCs, with the pages taking up pretty much the full screen.
The language is simple enough for a child to read and importantly the messages are very simple. This does not come across as a lecture like a lot of child safety books unfortunately do. The text is very conversational and together with the pictures is full of humour. Children (and even adults you don't have to be a child to learn about interacting with a dog safely) will enjoy each piece of advice and not even really catch on that they are learning. Lessons learnt include how to approach a dog in a car, how to pat a dog as well as know when it is okay to pat a dog, how to approach a dog with an owner, how to be beside and not make it feel threatened as well as dog related advice. As a nice bonus in teaching the dog related stuff the reader will also pick up some stranger danger or what's okay for people touching them advice as comparing human behaviour with the dogs perspective which can be built upon in a wider discussion later.
This is a really good picture book. Illustrations done in cartoon style are really well drawn too.
As a professional trainer and certified behavior consultant, I often have need to explain the information illustrated in this delightful booklet. Just two days ago, I found a situation where it was a huge benefit to bring up this book on my smartphone and have a mother and her son read it together. The illustrations of how people would feel if the same sort of advances by a stranger were being made towards them really brings home the point of how intimidated dogs can be with strangers' supposedly friendly advances. I have a pet peeve about strangers who approach and feel they have the right to lay hands on my dog...or any other strange dog. Bringing home that humans would never allow a stranger to approach and touch them makes it perfectly clear that this is an "assault" on the dog as well (my words not Dr Yin's). The illustrations are great.
For adults who are unsure, or for teaching children, or even just as reminders, this little book is just right.
