If you need assistance in training your dog and child on how to manage together, I am a licensed Family Paws Parent Educator. I’d love to help you and your family learn how to live in harmony -terrell

As dog trainers who specialize in dog, baby and toddler safety, this is something that we wish more parents knew…

You’d baby and toddler do not have the cognitive ability yet to understand what “be gentle” means!

We see many viral videos of parents or get calls from parents becoming frustrated at their child for hitting or grabbing the dog’s fun after they tell them to “be gentle” or not following simple instructions like “pet the dog nicely”

But why is this?

Your child’s pre-frontal cortex is not developed yet!

Everything that it is responsible for, such as emotional regulation and the executive functioning umbrella (for things such as self control and inhibition) doesn’t exist yet.

Follow our page for a video tomorrow being shared about how we can help safely engage in developmentally appropriate activities to help teach our children about being Dog Aware!
