Labrador Retriever (Detailed Introduction)

　　Families with both dogs and children often initially worry about how to educate the children to get along harmoniously with the dogs. Many owners cannot grasp the balance point between their dog and children. Most owners tend to favor the child, but this actually causes jealousy in the dog, worsening the relationship between the dog and child.
　　Parents should teach children to respect and care for the dog, allowing them to gradually approach the dog. Parents must also closely observe the interactions between children and dogs during this phase to avoid accidents. Method: If a dog is brought home during the child's walking stage, it is important to prevent the child from chasing the dog. Dogs new to an environment feel insecure about everything, and during the child's chasing, the dog may accidentally hurt the child.
　　Although most dogs have no intention to actively attack children, and most children do not prank the dog, it is possible that during their first meeting, both are full of curiosity or fear. Both may try actions like sniffing, pulling, tugging, or biting to get to know each other. For families with children, it is better to choose a puppy that has had good interactions with children before. For older dogs, their reaction to children should be assessed before allowing contact.
