Family Paws - Parent Education
Are you pregnant?
Are you bringing a new baby or a new dog home? Let me help you to make the transition as positively and smoothly as possible for you, your family and your dog(s)! I'm very passionate about this topic, about child safety and about bite prevention. I'm extremely grateful to be part of that program to support families and nurture good, healthy and long lasting relationships between all family members. |

What the parent doesn't see:
nose licking, smacking, yarning, sniffing, "kisses to dismiss", avoid eye contact, head turn =Stress/calming/appeasement signals |
These are random videos which we see everywhere. People think they are cute, and that this is how dogs and kids should interact. We want to see our dog as tolerant and sweet.
However, allowing kids to interact with dogs like this is putting them at risk for getting bitten, and putting our dogs at risk for being put down. |
What parents don't see:
head turn, avoidance, kiss to dismiss, "big" whale eyes, ears back, bow as replacement act, panting, nose licking, mouthing =Stress/calming/appeasement signals |
