[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does your dog have a bite warning at daycare?

The kid in this case were babies. Your kids are older. It's incredibly rare for there to be any fatal dog attacks at all - but when there is one, it's usually babies or very old people, because they are most frail.

My family had a pittie for 15 years. She died 10 years ago, without having harmed anyone in her whole sweet life.

Don't get weird about your dog. We also don't know the whole story with what happened here. It is very unlikely that the dogs just suddenly became Cujo out of nowhere. But that said, no matter what type of dog you have - exercise caution. Never ever ever leave a baby alone with a dog, especially a big dog.[/quote]

^ Also, start having your kids feed the dog. Make sure they know the dog, and know how to behave around him. Make sure they have a relationship. Part of dog safety - at home, and out in the world - is learning how to interact safely with dogs. Leaning how to read their body language. Perhaps take the dog for some classes and have the kids participate, too. The dog might not need to learn anything, but it will help them all bond and teach them how to read and behave around each other.[/quote]

In addition to feeding, have them give him lots of tasty treats! Many dogs are food-driven.[/quote]
