If you have children, bringing a dog into the family can be a wonderful and rewarding learning experience. Owning a dog teaches children compassion, responsibility, and respect for other living creatures. However, children don’t always know how to behave around a dog, so you’ll want to teach them the basics about dealing with animals. After all, a dog will react on his animal instinct; if he feels threatened or intimidated by your children, you could have a potentially dangerous situation on your hands.
By now, you have probably learned that training a dog involves a great deal of patience, positive praise, and an arsenal of dog biscuits. Teaching your kids to be gentle and respect your family pet is a similar process. With the following suggestions, you can foster a loving relationship between your children and your dog without fear of harm.

Whether you’re bringing home a new puppy or trying to teach your older dog a few new tricks, your canine friend will no doubt need obedience training. Behavior training can be a bit tricky at times, but the results are all the reward you’ll need. Your pet’s good behavior ultimately depends on your patience and positive attitude during training.
The most important training a puppy can receive is house training, followed by training for separation anxiety. Luckily, puppies are receptive to repetitive commands and positive praise. However, try not to set your goals too high. After all, your puppy is a lot like a toddler: he has much to learn, and it will take a while to sink in. Keep an eye on your puppy at all times so you can stop an accident before it happens. Rewarding your puppy’s obedience with gourmet dog treats will reinforce his good behavior.
