Is Your Child Your Dog’s Owner or Are You?

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
Just because someone says he is the dog’s owner it does not mean it is true. All that matters to him is how things are said to him and what a person does; not what people say as he does not focus on that.
Your dog will connect with whoever takes the most care of him. He sees who feeds him and who gets up in the dark to get beaten by the rain to let him outside. He notices who cleans up his messes that he has left, too!
They also see who makes time for them, and who brushes them off.
So if you plan on getting a dog for your children you need to take this into account because if you are the one taking care of this dog then the dog is going to be your pet – not your child’s.
Dogs and their owners are inseparable, like all the stories of little boys and their dogs. Dogs are smart. If your kids don’t take the time to bond with the dog, he won’t bond with them. The dog sees his owner as being the person who spends time with and cares for him.
If your child simply tolerates the dog it is all the dog will do for him! So make sure everybody is willing to put their time in to caring for him.
