The Curse of The Good Dog
How many times we said “Oh! Look how good our dog is with the child! The child can sit on him and he does not do anything! The child can pull the fur and he does not react! Such a good dog! ”…until one day, the dog bites the child, and automatically the animal becomes the bad dog. This is what I call a 'warning bite.' The warning bite is usually to the face or hand and while traumatic for the child, is often not serious in a medical nature.

Tips for Parents and Dog Owners
The three things your kids can learn!
1. Dogs Don’t Like Hugs and Kisses – Hugs and Kisses are only for Mom and Daddy. Hugging the family dog and face-to-face contacts are common causes of bites to the face, because the dog takes these too close “eyes and mouth” contacts as a challenge. Normally the dog does not feel comfortable during these close interactions and he starts to produce signs like “lick in the airs” or “painting” anxiously. It is important to teach kids what dogs really like, example, to be scratched on the chest or the side of the neck.
