Dogs and Children
A question that is commonly asked by people that about to acquire a new dog
or puppy is;
How are they around children ?
This is especially true of couples with small children or who plan to
have children in the future. It can also be asked by grandparents who are
about to acquire a dog. There is so much information and perhaps
misinformation that is spread by word of mouth that it is certainly a valid
question.
If you plan to have a Westie puppy, and have small children you
should think about this carefully
- Dogs should never be left alone with children.
- Children should never be allowed to pull the dogs tail, or any other
form of teasing.
- Feeding must be done away from children, let your dog have some
peace.
- Children should not feed anything to the dog
- Children must be taught respect for the dog
- You must clear your garden up after your dog immediately, don't let
children come in contact with dog mess.
- Never let a child walk your dog alone.
