[quote=Anonymous]OP, the gate system would work to keep your child away from the dog as well, no? Years ago, we had two great dogs and two “spirited” children that frequently visited. I always put up gates and the like, to protect my dogs from the children. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to call visiting children down the stairs, while the parents did nothing, because they “wanted to pet the doggie/kitty”. I understand that animals are a temptation to little people, but they also need to be taught to respect animals and their space. In your case, I agree the dog and child need to be separated, but I also have to wonder why your child, as a guest in the house, always seems to be around the dog, unattended? Safety works both ways, and while I do agree that the needs of a child trump the needs of a dog, they kind of go together. Do consider that the gates will keep your child out of harm’s way, rather than being concerned that it won’t contain the dog. [/quote]
