[quote=Anonymous]"Go see the dog!" Yells a parent to a toddler and my golden is so cute.... and toddler runs full pace at my dog(who is trained, but not to play with toddlers) and my beautiful golden is so excited he acts like a toddler as well! Look someone to play with, to jump around, to go crazy at their feet. I've been waiting all day for this joyful occasion! He is a crazy mess of 65lbs excitement. And then they say my dogs can't behave.
Seeing how my golden is not a service dog trained to interact with kids, should I ask daycare to bring him in every day so he gets used to being peaceful with kids running full pace at him? There is only one thing people need to know to have a dog behave, ignore the dog. Why is this so hard?
And no I don't let my dog become a happy mess when your kid runs at him. I move and take him away before contact is made, and then I am the bad guy again, because your cute kid just wants to play with my dog. But, guess what? My dog is not a toy. I advise all people to watch videos of how dogs play with other dogs.[/quote]
