How to Train Your Dog to Behave Around Kids (Quick Tips)

It's important to teach our children to respect animals both for the safety of your kids and your dogs. In this video I'm showing you the simple way to train your dog to behave around kids and everything else pet owners with children must know about having dogs around.

Teaching them the proper way to interact with the family dog is crucial, but you'll also need to learn how to train a dog to behave around kids. Just because your child learns to respect your dog doesn't mean the dog is automatically going to know how to behave around the youngest members of your human family.

"Sadly, there are some dogs that do not enjoy being around children. If your dog shows any signs of aggression around children, you need to work with a professional dog trainer that specializes in working with kids and dogs. This is a very serious situation, and it's not safe for you to try and handle it on your own."

It would be helpful to see the dog actually learning to be around kids and not just talking to a camera with advice

How about train your children to behave around dogs. If I was a dog and a child ignored my attempts to walk away from it, my body language telling them I’m uncomfortable with the constant pulling and pushing and touching and getting in my face, I’d have no choice but to snarl at it to scare it away. That’s exactly why parents shouldn’t get mad at a dog for growling at their stupid child that doesn’t know boundaries.

This video was neither informative or entertaining. Your tips don't go much beyond commonsense.

One breed of dog.
Little to no post-production.

This is not appropriate for my teenager, because, it's a dog training only about this type of dog... like a dog addict.
