The first thing to say is that your child's safety is paramount, so if you think dogs are jeopardizing your child's safety, don't think about how to get them along the problem.

What I'm 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 them instead; 2. Children are afraid of dogs and If you want to play with a dog, the dog may scare children. The two cases where dogs and children both accept and like each other, and dogs and children who fear each other and ignore each other are not studied.

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

This situation mostly occurs when the dog is relatively small. Here I have to say, Many dogs are very sensible. They know that people are sacred and inviolable. It's not that they don't have sharp teeth and claws, but they know that they can't be used on people. Some dogs are timid by nature and tremble when they see an unfamiliar animal that is taller than them. In this case, as a parent, you should educate your child to let him know how to respect small animals and not hurt them. Doing this not only protects the dog, but also protects the child, because no matter how timid or respectful dogs are, they will get angry. Once they are really irritated, the consequences are unimaginable. If you can't stop the child, it's best to let the dog run away.

The second situation: The child is afraid of the dog and wants to play with the dog, the dog may scare the child

This is often the case, the child is afraid of the dog and wants to play Dogs play, and dogs also want to play with children, but because the two sides express their emotions in different ways, the dog’s actions may scare the child, and the child’s actions may also make the dog feel hostile. In this case, it is a better way to lengthen the process of meeting between the two parties. For example, when a friend's child comes to watch the dog at home, when a group of people enter the house, the dog should be locked up first to prevent it from being overexcited by seeing so many people at once. Then the owner takes the new adult into the dog's room and greets the dog for a while, and then brings the child to the room with the dog, let the dog slowly approach the child and sniff him The smell, let the dog know that this little man is not hostile. After confirming that the dog will not attack strangers who come to the house, let the child put his hand in front of the dog's nose and let it smell. After that, the child can slowly put his hand on the dog's head and stroke it. Let both parties know that we are friends and that there is no malicious intent. In short, the whole process should be carried out slowly and not in a hurry. Any sudden action of a stranger will make the dog feel scared. Similarly, the dog's good behavior may also make the child feel scared, which requires the owner to accompany the two sides for a long time to do translation. When the dog is playing with the child, the owner should keep a close eye on it. If he sees that the dog may bring danger to the child, he should stop it as soon as possible. It is also for the child. Let the child learn to play with the dog from an early age. of mutual respect.

Don't say that I exaggerate the status of dogs. As an animal that is closest to humans in nature, dogs play a very important role in human society. Special animals begin to learn to love animals, it is very necessary to respect life. If everyone taught children how to love animals and respect life, the tragedy of the wolf dog killing the child a few years ago would not have happened.
