[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came to this thread from the one about play dates and put mixes. Everyone in there is saying it’s fine as long as they trust the owner to shut the dog away/crate him/put him outside, etc. Basically keep him away from their kids so they never interact and getting bit never even becomes a possibility. Ok fine, makes sense.

Then I come in here and everyone is giving this OP a hard time about doing this very thing and teaching her kids how to notice a dog’s warning signs and respect its boundaries! Instead of applauding her for being safe, like how they want owners to act in the first thread about play dates, they’re telling her they feel bad for her kids for having to “walk on eggshells” in their own home. When really that boils down to what? Not being allowed to let their friends pet a strange dog (which you say you don’t want your kids to do anyway)? Not being allowed to flop down on the dog like it’s a cushion? She’s teaching her kids how to be good dog owners. They’re companions, not toys. They don’t exist as our playthings.[/quote]

Could you miss the point more or be more tone deaf?[/quote]
