Child And Dog Safety Indoors
When children are bitten by dogs, statistics show that it’s often a family dog doing the biting – but it’s not always the dog’s fault. Cathie Cino and her trusty mascot show you how they teach children to avoid dog bites, and how parents can create a safer environment at home for their children and pets.

Psychology of a Dog
-
You see boys and girls, when you look a dog straight in the eyes, he thinks you want a fight.
Hugs are great way to show love and affection towards somebody but not a dog. You overwhelmed, making hot, uncomfortable and any dog that is irritable is potentially a risk of bitting.

Step 3:
-
Environment
-
The are some key things that you can do to create a safer environment for your kids. Get your kids in the habit of feeding the family dog. Feeding gives the dogs the idea that the kids are the providers. The dog should wait until the child is giving him the "okay" to start. Do not allow dogs on sofas or beds. Dogs understand high places are been dominant places.

Step 4:
-
Boundaries
-
Make sure they know their boundaries. Dogs should never be allowed to enter doors before family members. Family members must first call the dog. This teaches a dog about respect.
Dogs should never be allow to grasp toys out of the child hands. This may lead to an accidental dog bite. Dogs must wait until the child has thrown or drawn the toy.

Child Scars
-
If the dog ever bit the child, see a trainer immediately. The emotionals scars for a bite can last life longer.
