What should the owner do if his children and dog are left at home while he is at work? The editor of Pet.com teaches you how to cultivate the skills of dogs and children to get along with each other.

For families with children first and then a dog, it is better to train the dog between 5 months and 1 year old. If you have a dog first and then a child, you should let the dog get familiar with the child's smell before the child comes home from the hospital. When children are older, they should be taught how to approach dogs safely and get along with them.

When training a dog to get along with a child, the child approaches the dog from the side, let it smell the child's hand first, and then stroke its chin. Never move your hand from directly above its head downwards and pat its head or stroke the back of its neck, because these actions are aggressive to the dog and it may react immediately.

For minor accidents that occur when dogs and children get along, never scold the dog or the child. Dogs and children should be encouraged and appreciated when they can play safely together.
