Dogs and Kids: Relationship building and Bite Prevention

The information found here, is designed to help parents learn how to create, and maintain successful dogs/kids (of any age!) households.  While there can be exceptions, most problems can be prevented, and overcome.
 
Way too many family dogs end up losing their homes, and often times their lives because things have not gone well with children in the home. Sadly, the dog is almost always blamed and labeled as "unpredictable", "bit without warning", "dominant", etc. 

The truth is, these labels are completely inaccurate, and supremely unfair to the dog. Dogs "talk" to us through body language, not words, and believe it or not, dog bites do not happen "without warning". The articles below will help you understand how the dog gave plenty of warnings...that no one recognized. 

Parents must accept responsibility for the health of the relationship between their kid/s and their dog by educating themselves first.  The situation calls for your commitment to keep the entire family together and happy, including your canine family member. Respecting your dogs perspective is a must, and will make the difference between success, or failure!
