Dogs and Children - Responsibility of the parent
Children are naturally compassionate and I firmly believe that every child should have a dog as a companion. If you and your family don't have a dog, then chances are that children in your house haven't had much exposure to dogs. It is the responsibility of the parents to make sure that children follow certain rules and are well prepared for the arrival of the new family member. Dog is not a toy - Children must learn how to behave around a dog, and how to handle one properly, particularly if its a pup. A dog is not a toy. Children must be gentle , and not too rowdy to begin with, until your dog is used to them. Adult Supervision - Always make sure there's an adult around to supervise when children are playing with your new dog. You will then be assured of everyone's safety and enjoyment until you are confident they are all consistently doing the right thing. Train your dog - You are the best trainer for your dog.
