Kids and Dogs...in a perfect world this combination is all pretty pictures,
loving memories and joyful companionship. In the real world, it doesn't
always work out this way. The following books may help you train/re-train
your puppy/dog so that you avoid behavioral or temperament problems related to
canine interaction with children.
Remember that it's your responsibility to train
YOUR CHILDREN
how to respect, care for
and interact with your puppy!! Puppies do not start life with a fear or
aggressive tendency towards children, nor is lack of socialization the most
common cause of dogs biting children.
The most common reason for a dog LEARNING to bite children is that they have had
bad experiences with children and they feel the need to protect themselves.
Puppies and children under 10 years of age
MUST
be constantly supervised!
Young children rarely comprehend that a dog or puppy is a living, feeling entity
in its own right and they have a tendency to treat the animal as just another
toy.
If you have a dog
that is not accustomed to children, or that you know is not comfortable with
children, be
vigilant when children are in the dog's vicinity. Keep in
mind that the most common scenario
that results in a dog biting a child is that of a child coming to visit and
immediately trying to approach and pet or hug the dog.
