Medium Sized Dogs and Toddlers
|
|
As
babies move into the toddler stage they become more mobile,
physical and curious which will affect their behaviour
towards dogs.
Toddlers are often excitable and like to play and touch
new things which can mean a tendency to pull tails and
ears, ruffle coats and even poke eyes. Toddlers can try
to play with the dogs toys and possessions. With some
breeds this behaviour may be tolerated but some dogs can
be possessive about their possessions and space.
