After forty years in education, I can say Sniff Squad: Dog Training for Kids Who Love Mysteries is a standout resource. The variety of activities keeps children engaged while teaching them valuable lessons through play with their dogs. It's both fun and educational, blending teamwork, responsibility, and problem‑solving in a way kids truly enjoy. The badge system is a brilliant touch. Earning badges at the end of each mission gives children a real sense of accomplishment and motivates them to keep learning. Can't wait for the next book!
BookFan67 (5-star verified review) - Fun, engaging, informative, all around fabulous!
As a breeder and trainer of large dogs, I found this a fun book to pick up. I was delighted to find that it was adorable, fascinating, informative, engaging, and all around spectacular! Filled with facts but also loaded with activities and fun, the tone of the book is magical! This got me wanting to jump in afresh and try some new approaches. LOVE it!
JohnH (5-star verified review) - Magsnifficent!
As a grandfather of three grandchildren, and owner of two terriers ,I couldn't resist having a read first, before passing on both books to my youngest grandchildren. I love the premise and delivery of these books, how they introduce a little intrigue, a little sherlock holmes, a little science, and a whole lot of fun. This is another one of those series of books that competes with, and hopefully helps overcome device addiction, that we so desperately need for our youngsters today.
L Nova (5-star verified review) - Fun and Engaging for Kids and Dogs
This book turns dog training into exciting mystery games kids actually enjoy. It helps children learn responsibility and teamwork while having fun with their pets. A great choice for families wanting screen-free activities and a stronger bond between kids and their dogs.
Paul (5-star verified review) - A sniffing great adventure!!!
Wow!! What a fantastic book for heaps of holiday fun with the kids and the pets!!! The book is full of great ideas and activities to fill in hours of time with fun, healthy activities, outside and away from devices. The pets loved all the attention and the whole family enjoyed lots of laughs together along the way!!!
Olive Redman (5-star verified review) - Great way for kids to learn real training skills
This is such a clever idea for a book - kids (and adults!) learn so much about dog behaviour and training tips without even realising as readers dive into the adventures and mysteries outlined in the book. The inclusion of graphics and pictures really helps make it a fun experience for younger readers."
