Even though we own a rescue wonderfully sweet Staffordshire Bull Terrier that weighs around 70 pounds, my 6 year old son is afraid of most dogs outside, especially small breeds. I have been teaching him the beginning on how to read a dog's body language, to always be respect of a dog's space,and to always ask the owner first if he could approach and pet theirTrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296966130914381399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247022130749091471.post-39997304162970917212015-10-03T18:22:56.669-07:002015-10-03T18:22:56.669-07:00This is such a great, great post.

In fact, they even ask if they can help us with training in any way. I've been amazed by the good experiences I've had in that regard. If the child seems low energy and dog savvy, I even take them up on their offer, by having the child stand nearby KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247022130749091471.post-27023986620613398782015-10-02T07:23:42.483-07:002015-10-02T07:23:42.483-07:00Oh my, I could go on and on about this subject!!!!...Oh my, I could go on and on about this subject!!!!

It's funny that I have so much patients for dogs but none for kids, although I am trying to get better and I'm sort of proud of myself for not losing it with the kid or her parents. It's really sad, but I run into these situations all the time.

I've heard of cases where a dog has knocked a child over and they were deemed "aggressive" and the people were sued.

I really don't mind when someone asks to pet, adult or child. It's human nature to want to interact. But the owner of the dog absolutely has the say in whether or not you get to come closer, pet, give a treat, etc. <br /Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960042753997971742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247022130749091471.post-11573267755181404582015-10-01T09:49:54.622-07:002015-10-01T09:49:54.622-07:00God if I could give you a standing ovation I would...God if I could give you a standing ovation I would!
