Some adults need these lessons, too.

Just yesterday, I needed to inform another dog owner about my client’s dog’ cues and request space four times before she gave us the necessary space the dog was asking for.

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

No human will ever be this happy to see you.

One of the many benefits of working from home is that when I sit for your pups, I get to hang with them and keep them company throughout the day. I’m better able to attune to their needs and care for them as things arise throughout the week.

I still have a few openings in August, so if you’re planning any summer vacations and need some loving care for your fur babies, feel free to reach out!

And stay tuned, as I’ll soon be expanding my service area beyond and !
