[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids, 4 and 5.5, occasionally chase the dog with the broom and a bouncy ball. For fun. Obviously this isn't acceptable. When I see them doing it, I bring the dog in, I tell that this is unacceptable, and I make them do a chore as a consequence. I usually use logical consequences, but I can't think of one here. We also talk about how to be kind to animals. What else can I do?[/quote] The logical consequence is that you allow your dog to bite your children, which is also the natural consequence. Unfortunately, I know that’s not the answer. But, you actually need to be the parent. If your dog was chasing your kids around the backyard, cornering them with it’s teeth bared, you would have done something by now, right? Why are you letting your kids away with abusing your dog?
