Yorkshire Terrier (Detailed Introduction)

       Some dogs really love children, but some dogs are not so friendly to children because they feel that the affection that originally belonged to them has been taken away, causing jealousy. As a result, they may not behave well in daily life. Of course, there is another situation where children are not afraid of dogs but instead bully them. Therefore, we need to understand how to let dogs get along with children to ensure the whole family lives harmoniously.

       1. For dogs that are unfriendly to children: first keep some distance between them, then slowly let the dog approach the child and sniff his scent, so the dog knows he has no hostile intent. Once it is confirmed the dog will not attack the child, let the child put his hand in front of the dog's nose to smell it. Afterwards, the child can slowly put his hand on the dog's head and gently pet it, so both parties understand they are friends with no ill intentions. In short, the whole process should be slow and not rushed. During this time, the owner needs to accompany them for a long time and act as a translator for both. While the dog and child play, the owner must closely monitor and stop any dangerous behavior immediately. The child should also learn from an early age to respect dogs and others.

       2. For children who bully dogs: as a parent, you must educate the child to understand the need to respect small animals and not hurt them. You can let them play together, which protects both the dog and the child. Because even the shyest or most obedient dog will become angry if provoked. The consequences could be unimaginable if the dog is really irritated. If the child cannot be stopped, the best solution is to let the dog avoid the situation.

       Dogs and children are both very important to a family, so we must stabilize their relationship. Dogs should not develop hostility toward children, nor should children bully dogs. Harmonious coexistence is the best for everyone’s happiness.
