Frolic is a 1,500-square-foot space on the Upper East Side of
Manhattan, where the interactive and educational are taken to a new
level. Truly unique, Frolic is home to four friendly career change
service dogs. Visitors come to meet Patience, Chichy, Huxley, and
Murray while simultaneously learning about man's best friend from
Frolic's dog-loving experts. Frolic supports the community through
various after-school programs, camps, specialized courses such as
Overcoming Fear of Dogs and Canine Companion (how to have/care for
a dog), and birthday parties. Frolic also hosts special events held
on-site and off-site. They have worked with Girl Scouts of America
and various schools.
"A must read for kids thinking about getting a dog or puppy. An
extremely informative guide for children that will set them up for
success in understanding, caring for, and training their new best
friend. One of a kind book!" —Kristin Sells, Senior Canine
Behavior Counselor CPDT-KA, Biscuits & Bath NYC
"This book is written in a way that my child could follow along
with the tutorials easily, especially when paired with the detailed
illustrations. As a parent, I appreciate the positive language the
author used to encourage children to be kind and patient with dogs
as well as themselves.” —Celeste A. Ramirez, President and
Owner of CARA Construction Management, mother of Catherine
(11-year-old dog owner)
“My daughter is a dog lover, but not a fan of reading. She could
not put this book down! My child has read it more than once because
it doesn’t feel like a boring manual, and there is so much to learn
about dogs. I feel like now she knows more than most people do!”
—Yuan Wang, mother of Siena (8-year-old dog owner)
