Parents, please do your part to help your child and your dog’s relationship to succeed. Teach your children that the place to be wild and crazy is away from your dog (and unknown dogs). If your dog (or a loose or leashed unknown dog) becomes overly aroused, movement will keep that arousal curve moving forward. Kids should be taught how to stand still and be a tree with their hands under their armpits to lower the dog’s arousal.

Parents, YOU Are ALWAYS Teaching
Teaching happens whether we intend it or not. Our interactions cause others to learn positive AND negative associations with situations, and with us.
