Bonding Techniques

It is important for children and dogs to learn how to be safe around each other.
You always want to be mindful so you can prevent any potential accidents or injuries.
 
Some helpful tips for us to keep in mind are as follows:

1.  Teach children to approach dogs in a calm and gentle manner. Even better is to teach children to wait for the dog to approach them for interactions.

2.  Do not teach children to focus on dogs in public.  Teach children to respect dog parents and their dogs space.  We do not want children to learn to magnitize to dogs in public.

3.  Teach children to respect a dog's personal space and boundaries. This means not getting too close to the dog's face, not pulling on the dog's ears or tail, and not bothering the dog while it's eating or sleeping.  

4.  Supervise all interactions between children and dogs. Even the most well-behaved dog can become agitated or frightened in certain situations.  

5.  Teach children to recognize the signs of a dog that may be feeling anxious, scared, or aggressive. This course has a webinar presentation to teach you and your child dog language.

6.  Teach children to never approach a dog that is unfamiliar to them, especially if the dog is off-leash or appears to be stray.  

7.  Train your dog using positive reinforcement methods, so that it understands basic cues positive communication signals. and learns to follow them consistently.  When children watch how you interact with your dog at home they are learning how to be around dogs.  

8.  Practice good safety habits, children and dogs can develop a safe and positive relationship.
