DOGS, KIDS & SAFETY
There is probably nothing nicer than seeing dogs and kids playing and having fun together. They can spend happy hours being best buddies.
Their friendship can be a means of showing the child the importance of being kind, patient, and how to take responsibility.
From a dogs point of view, children can be strange beings.
They can move erratically (especially if they are toddlers who are unsteady on their feet), cry, scream, run around.
Children can look at the family pet as their friend, a safe pair of ears to tell fears, plans and achievements to. They show the dog their affection by hugging, kissing, wanting to sit close etc.
This can be a problem for a lot of dogs, who find the noise, excitement and closer contact unnerving and even threatening.
It is no surprise that young children get bitten by dogs much more than any other age group, and the main culprit is not a strange dog on the local park, but the much loved family pet.
There are simple, and sensible precautions that can be taken to help your children, and your dog, have a safe and happy life together. Please follow the links below for information on how to keep a safe balance.
