Family Pet Consulting; Dogs and Children

Dogs and Children

We all have memories of childhood days spent with favorite dogs, sweet things with wagging tails that used to follow us around and listen to all of our problems. But what we usually don’t remember is that our mothers and fathers housebroke and trained the dog. We enjoyed a "best buddy" relationship with the dog and maybe fed it once in awhile.

Now that we have children, we must remember that our role has changed when the family acquires a new dog. We, as adults, must oversee and shape the dog/child relationship.
