We know how much you love your dogs - and your children. And most of the time, things go just fine. But every year, we’re contacted by families devastated that a dog has snapped or bitten - often during busy times like school holidays.

And more often than not, the dog was showing signs they were uncomfortable… but no one realised. 😢

That’s why we’re sharing this important reminder.
It’s not about blame - it’s about awareness and safety.

🐶 Things we shouldn’t allow children to do with dogs:
🚫 Sit or lie on them
🚫 Grab their face or kiss them
🚫 Climb into their bed or crate
🚫 Disturb them while eating, chewing, or sleeping
🚫 Chase after them to grab toys or food

These moments might look sweet - but for many dogs, they feel overwhelming or even threatening. Most bites don’t come “out of the blue” - they come after a dog has been trying to say no in the only ways they know how.

📊 Did you know? 77% of dog bites come from the family dog or a friend’s dog.
These aren’t dangerous dogs - they’re just dogs who have been pushed past their comfort zone.

✅ What we can teach instead:
💛 Sit on the floor, not on the dog
💛 Pet-pet-pause - 3 seconds of gentle stroking, then stop and see if the dog wants more. If not respect their space.
💛 Let sleeping dogs lie - rest time is important for everyone
💛 Give them space when eating or chewing
💛 Let the dog choose when to interact

With supervision, kindness, and a little knowledge, dogs and children can grow up safely and happily together.

📩 If you’re ever unsure, or your dog is showing signs they’re uncomfortable, drop me a message - I’m always here to help.

"All good ☺️Neither dog are growling"
Hang on.
Dogs can and do growl in play.
It can be completely normal.

"So how can I tell"?
It can be tricky to tell the difference between healthy play and those interactions that are something else entirely.
There are some areas we can look at to help us decipher.

➡️Immediate posture changes/rigidity/stillness

Some dogs pause, go still..... then explode with loose and wiggly movements. That’s often play.
The problematic kind of rigidness is different. It can linger for longer.
Even when the other dog is showing everyway they can "all's good here"
That stillness and posture is "tight".
It can come with hard stares, leaning or standing over.
Stiff body posture from either dog.....even the one on the ground.
That’s not play

➡️When high energy switches to frantic

Chasing and being chased.
Some dogs love this.
There can be an energy change with chasing that we need to watch for though.
It can turn.
It can become far more frantic and direct.

If one dog is always the chaser, and when they catch the other.....the tone changes, the body language tightens, the movements escalate and it stops looking mutual...that’s when caution is needed.

We don't want to stop dogs playing....but we do need to recognise when it is no longer fun for all dogs involved.
