‼️SO IMPORTANT ‼️

Please I beg you do NOT let your child sit on or lie on your dog , or grab them by the face and kiss them, or climb into their bed or crate , or disturb them when eating or chewing, or chase after the dog to grab their toys.

I’ve lost count of the numbers of distraught parents who have contacted me during the festive holiday when stressed anxious dogs have bitten children.
Usually due to lack of parental supervision, lack of understanding of the dogs needs and poor dog management.

Dogs never bite out of the blue . They are usually giving subtle warnings repeatedly before they snap
Always supervise child to dog interactions
Teach children to respect dogs
Sit on the ground - not the hound
Pet pet pause - 3 second contact
Let sleeping dogs lie
Give them space
Create a safe space for your dog that’s a NO GO area for children
Don’t become that statistic .

Extra credit for all three puppers today as they listened to the “no chase” cue when two deer ran by in the woods. Super impressed! 🙌🏻😁🐾

We all know how to pat a dog....right❓ Pat, pat, rub, rub...right on top of the head.
What if they are giving signs they don't like it?
Would that make us stop or would we continue because WE like to pat our dogs?
Yup, we all know how, but do we know the signals shown when dogs are not appreciating it, or when it has gone on too long for their comfort?
So many dogs do not like being patted on the head.
We may have difficulty seeing they are uncomfortable because we are way up there ⬆️sometimes 4-5 feet or more above them, it can be tricky to see the changes in their posture and face....but when we do take notice and appreciate that dogs can consent and even take away that consent, there can be amazing changes.
Some anxious dogs will become LESS anxious.
Some dogs will seek out comfort WHEN they want and need it.
It can give some dogs MORE confidence around people because when someone asks we can say "no thanks, please no pats" or "sure, but not on the head".
If you are in doubt...look at an old video or two, they can be very enlightening.
