Teaching Your Kids How to Act Around Dogs
I teach classes about socializing your puppy, I’ve talked about training your dog, about what to do if your dog barks too much, or licks too much,and more, all of which are very important subjects. This puts all the responsibility on your dog, but relationships, even dog and human relationships, are two-sided. One of the most important things we humans can do is to understand how to be around dogs, and taking it one step further, we need to teach our children how to be around dogs.
Starting at an early age, most kids (although there are exceptions) are fascinated with dogs, they love how they look and how they feel…they are simply drawn to them. And for the most part, dogs are lovable and tolerant of these little humans. But you never know when a dog is going to be annoyed, or a child gets grabby, and then there can be trouble.
