- When your guests arrive with children, put your dog in a closed room and make the room off-limits to all of your visitors.
- If you allow your dog to interact with company, strongly consider always having adult supervision.
- Never let kids interfere with your dog if the dog is interacting with her puppies.
- Children shouldn’t be anywhere near a dog when it is eating.
- Children don’t like it when an adult invades their “face space.” They should be taught the same applies to dogs.
- Kids can jump on top off, pull ears and grab the tails of stuffed animals. That conduct is never acceptable when it involves a family pet.
- People hug, dogs don’t! Most dogs dislike it when a person tries to hug them.
- Screaming children running at/near a dog can startle or make the dog nervous – never a good thing!
