How to teach big dogs to beconsiderate of small dogssize? |
|
I have a great dane and am
getting a small dog (12
pounds). He is very
considerate of other dogs when
socializing. But- just in case
I would like to ask anyone who
has a big dog and small dog
how they got there big dog to
be considerate (not step on,
not bite, and to be easy
playing) of the small dog. I
would like to know about how
people taught their big dogs
that. Also I would like to ask
how to introduce a big dog to
a small dog. We are getting
our small dog second, since we
already have a big dog. Does
that make a difference? Thank
you. |

I used to have two grooming
clients. One a great Dane (who
has passed away) the other a
Papillon (still with me). The
Dane used to sit and whimper
at the Papillon sitting in his
second story drying cage. One
day the owner of the Papillon
asked if it would be OK to put
her little dog down near the
Dane for a picture. She did
and the Dane was so thrilled
he immediately dropped into
the play posture, inviting the
little guy to play.
I have had several Danes over
the years at the groom shop
and have only ever seen the
gentle side of these giants. A
well socialized dog seem to
always know what is
appropriate to the size of the
smaller babies.
Just make sure that you
introduce your Dane to the new
baby outside of the home and
then take them both back home
together. Never just drop a
new dog of any size into a
home where an existing pet has
residence. |

Is it easier to have small orbig dogs while raising kids? |
|
I LOVE big dogs, but I have
always had small- medium dogs
because they do better running
around the house and wear out
easier on walks.
However, I am realizing that
my theory is not accurate as
some smaller dogs, like say a
beagle are just have crazy
energy and some bigger dogs,
like Newfoundland dogs are
lazy.
Am I wrong to avoid bigger
dogs while I have kids due to
thinking that they are higher
maintence? |

As a serial multiple dog owner
I have had both large and
small dogs while raising kids.
Managing kids and dogs is
hard. I find larger dogs are
more taxing in their needs and
do find small dogs much
easier, but you do have to be
selective, I guess, just as
you would have to be to find a
big dog trustable with
children. If you get a small
dog from rescue you have the
chance to know their character
before bringing one home.
Other than that, if you desire
a puppy that will grow up
small, then really study your
breeds. I have found the
spaniel breeds tend to be easy
going and laid back and do
well with kids. I have a
Tibetan Spaniel/Cavalier mix
who tolerates all the pulls
and rough play from toddlers
that can be thrown her way. I
had a pure Tibbie in the past
who was the same. I also have
a purebred Cavalier Spaniel
who tolerates a lot and
doesn't ever nip, but prefers
not to be bothered by children
if they are being rough, and
retires to his crate to avoid
them.
I know as well a couple of
Shih Tzus the same way (not
the tiny kind, but the
originally sized 14 pound
ones) and also a Shih
Tzu/Bichon cross and a Cocker
Spaniel that are amazing with
kids. I do also know dogs of
these breeds/mixes who are
not. To get a small dog that
is predictable in temperament,
though, you REALLY need to get
one from a good breeder who is
temperament screening. Too
many unscrupulous breeders of
pure and mixed are not weeding
out the bad temperaments which
gives many small dogs a bad
rap.
. . . and big or small, dogs
and kids should always be
supervised while they are
together.
Please do not ever purchase a
puppy, pure or mixed, from
someone breeding in bulk, or
from a breeder not doing the
proper health testing on the
parents, or caring for them as
you would want your own pet
cared for. |

big dogs??? |
|
There are soooooooooo many
people that get big dogs just
to have them sit in the back
yard all day, PLEASE HELP ME
TO UNDERSTAND!! Cause it just
makes me soooooo mad!
I think that you should always
take time to walk or play with
your dog. People make me feel
like I'm the crazy one, they
will say "there just dogs".
People still don't get that
dogs have feelings!!!
SORRY I GUESS I HAVE NO
QUESTION I'M JUST UPSET WITH
PEOPLE!!! I WISH MORE PEOPLE
WOULD LOVE THERE ANIMALS LIKE
I LOVE MINE!! |

I know how you feel. I work in
a shelter and we get in more
big dogs than anything...The
ones that comes from homes are
usualy under socialized,
needy,and in need of vet
care.They often have *issues*
just because of being ignored
all of their lives.
It seems by the time we make a
break through with some of
them the shelter gets Slammed
full and we have to put the
poor things down. Its sad. |
