[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was pregnant with our first, my husband and I took a course called "Dogs and Puppies, Play it Safe" to learn how to prevent dog bites from day 1. Part of it is preventing the opportunity, and [b]part of it is training the young child how to interact with dogs so as to reduce the risk of getting bitten[/b]. Our daughter is 3, and she is very careful when interacting with our 85 lb shepherd--we don't think he'd bite since he's very sweet, but still, not taking any chances. Husband works in pediatric ER and sees the results of bad dog bites from time to time--not anything we wanted to have on our hands.[/quote] That's crazy. You should not expect that a young child (a baby or toddler) can possibly learn how to interact with a dog without making mistakes. The only way to not have a bitten child on your hands is to 1. just be lucky and have a very gentle dog or 2. not have a dog. PERIOD.[/quote]
