The first thing to say is that the safety of your children is the most important thing, so if you feel that the dog endangers the safety of your children, then there is no need to consider how to get them to get along.

What I am talking about now is the situation where children want to play with dogs. The disharmony between them can be summed up in two ways: 1. Children are not afraid of dogs, but bully dogs; 2. Children are afraid of dogs and want to play with dogs. , dogs may scare children. We will not study the two situations where dogs and children accept and like each other, and dogs and children are afraid of each other and ignore each other.

The first situation: the child is not afraid of dogs, but bullies them;

This situation mostly occurs when dogs are relatively small. I have to say here that many dogs are very sensible. They know that humans are sacred and inviolable. It does not mean that they do not have sharp weapons. Teeth and claws, but it knows not to use them on humans. Some dogs are timid by nature and will tremble in fear when they see strange animals that are taller than themselves. In this case, as a parent, you need to educate your child so that he knows how to respect small animals and not to hurt them. This not only protects the dog, but also protects the child, because no matter how timid or respectful the dog is, it will get angry. Once they are really angered, the consequences will be disastrous. If the child cannot be restrained, it is best to let the dog hide.

The second situation: a child is afraid of dogs but wants to play with them. The dog may scare the child

This is often the case. The child is afraid of dogs but wants to play with the dog. The dog also wants to play with the child. However, because both parties express emotions in different ways, the dog’s actions may scare the child. The child’s Behavior may also make the dog feel hostile. In this case, it is a better method to make the meeting between the two parties longer. For example, if a friend's child comes to watch the dog at home, when a bunch of people come into the house, lock the dog up first to prevent it from getting overly excited by seeing so many people at once. Then the owner takes the new adult into the room where the dog is kept to say hello and play with the dog for a while. Then he takes the child to the room with the dog and lets the dog slowly approach the child and sniff him. The smell lets the dog know that this little person is not hostile. After confirming that the dog will not attack strangers who come to the house, let the children put their hands in front of the dog's nose and let it smell. After that, the children can slowly put their hands on the dog's head and stroke it. Let both parties know that we are friends and there is no ill will. In short, the whole process should be carried out slowly and not in a hurry. Any sudden move by a stranger will make the dog feel scared. Similarly, the dog's good behavior may also make children feel scared. This requires the owner to accompany them for a long time to translate for both parties. Owners should pay close attention when their dogs are playing with their children. If they see the dog’s behavior that may bring danger to their children, they should stop it as soon as possible. The same goes for children. Let them learn to interact with dogs from an early age. of mutual respect.

Don’t say that I exalt the dog’s status too much.As the closest animal to humans in nature, dogs play a very important role in human society. It is very necessary for children to learn to love animals and respect life by respecting this most special animal. If everyone taught their children to love animals and respect life, the tragedy of a child being bitten to death by a wolf dog a few years ago would never have happened.
