I have heard many excuses over the years,
πΎ they trod on the dogs toe
πΎ they sat next to the dog on the sofa
πΎthey stroked the dog while he was eating
πΎ they woke the dog up
But should a child be going to hospital for any of the above reasons?! Of course not!
If you have a dog that is so sensitive that it snaps over the above reasons, then you probably have the wrong dog βοΈ Some dogs are just not suited to the hustle and bustle of life with children, but that's not to say that they are bad dogs necessarily.
The beauty of dogs is that we can find a suitable breed/type for many job roles and so it is important we choose the correct dog for us, our family and our lifestyle and be careful not to just follow fashions.
Children and dogs should be taught how to coexist π It is so important they learn when and where to give each other space, to learn how to play together π₯ and to be tolerant around food with each other.
A pet peave of mine is hearing excuses for dogs that choose violence too quickly π
We must educate ourselves, and then educate the animals and children within our homesππ»
