Dog Training For Kids At Home
By Javier Fuller
Little kids are particularly fond of dogs and dogs too like running around children. Dogs really take very good care of kids and are quite protective about them. However, if you have a kid,
there are several important factors that you must consider before deciding to bring a pup home.
Learn about various breeds and their primary traits. Choose the dog breed that is known to be of easy temperament and training friendly. Besides, the breed the individual traits also matter. For
instance, Dobermans are not supposed to be the children's friend yet some of them have been found to be extremely friendly with kids and are very tolerant of their rashness. In a few instances dogs
of certain gentle breeds turn out to be short tempered and highly irritable. The best way to find out whether a pup will grow into an angry dog or an affectionate one is to have a look at his
mother or grown up siblings.
Never forget that the puppy might be much smaller than your kid but would grow much faster than him. One thing that you must make your little ones understand that a pup is not a toy and cannot
be handled the way they like. The child, therefore, must give a gentle treatment to the dog and mend his pushing, pulling and twisting ways.
Kids have the habit of putting everything in their mouths and once they get a dog they try to put all of it in his mouth. Teach him not to, for the dog might not like it that much, besides the
kid might also hurt himself or herself doing it. And, no tailpulling.
The child must also be encouraged to train the dog himself or herself so that they grow up together and the dog understands your child's commands fully well. Do not allow your child to walk the
dog unless you or some other elder is around because dogs often get distracted by sounds and may go berserk in excitement. This might hurt the child though the dog himself would feel very sorry for
having hurt the little one. Dogs are very sensitive creatures and can feel human pain. If you are in pain they just might end up crying literally.
