Dogs are so much fun to be around--that's why they're our best friends, right? But there's so much more you can do with them than play fetch. This book showcases all the fun activities you can share together, like camping, hiking, swimming, agility, flyball, and junior handling. It also shows you how to teach your dog special skills like herding and tracking. Plus, you'll find out ways you can team up with your dog to help others in activities like pet therapy visits or participating in dog walkathons.

Loaded with lots of color photos and friendly information you can trust, the ASPCA Kids books were written by animal lovers for animal lovers--just like you.
