KIDS & DOGS - THE BOND
There are 3 reasons I created this section of the site:
- I wrote it because over many years I’ve seen bad behavior problems with dogs and children develop literally right under the nose of a joyful parent who was watching them, thinking that everything is great, when actually things were not.
-
I wrote it because of some of the ways I have seen kids treat dogs, certainly unintentionally, but nonetheless in a way that could be taken as abusive to some dogs. Depending upon the type of personality of the dog, the natural personality of the dog can escalate. For example, if the animal was a little shy, it could become a lot shyer. If the animal is a little aggressive, he may become a lot more aggressive.
- I wrote it because I want you to let you your child know that his or her dog feels very much of what he or she feels, and your child has the ability to control those things. They need to understand that they have the ability to make thier dog sad, and when their dog is sad, it is sad the same way they become “sad”. But your child also has the ability to show your dog love and make your dog happy. And when the dog is loved and happy, the dog feels that love and happiness the same way your child feels it.
-
Most importantly, I wrote it so hopefully not only your child, but thousands of children at an early age will grow up learning that their dog just wants to be their friend and make them happy. It is essential that all children learn to treat their dog as they would want to be treated themselves.
