DOGS AND TODDLERS
By Bob Bartos
Manager, Frlskles Research Kennels
When you’re the proud owner
of both a dog and a baby, and
the baby reaches the crawling
or toddling stage, should Fido
be allowed to share the rug or
the floor with baby? This ques
tion invariably presents itself
to most dual owners and much
depends on the individual dog
and the individual baby.
If your pet Is fairly rugged,
but is gentle by nature and has
steady nerves, you’re reasonably
safe as far as the dog is con
cerned. If the baby, in turn,
shows no fear of Fido, the two
will probably thoroughly enjoy
each other’s company.
Remember, though, that while
most any dog will tolerate a
great deal of hardship at the
hands of children, there may
come a day when he’s not feel
ing up to snuff and, should the
small fry get overly rough, he
may give vent to his annoy
ance. For this reason, it’s ad
visable to let baby know right
from the start that he’s not to
subject the dog to such indig
nities as tail-tugging, ear-pull
ing and pinching. Even a small
baby comes to know by the
tone of your voice, if not by
words, when he's being repri
manded.
If the baby shows fear of the
dog, don’t force the dog on the
baby. Keep Fido out of the
room while baby is down on the
floor, but bring him back in the
room when the baby gets put in
his pen, chair or crib. In time,
watching the dog from a dis
tance, the child will lose his
fear.
Similarly, if your dog Is
nervous and high-strung, or if
he always tucks his tail be
tween his legs when baby
toddles toward him, it’s best to
keep Fido out of the way, at
least until the tot has mastered
the art of walking.
