Prime Example Of What NOT To Allow...

There's two sides to this !
Firstly dogs are not humans and can never be fully trusted (well neither can most humans) I rescue dogs often usually they have bad habbets or aggressive behavior I work with them till there properly trained 99% turn out perfect they just need to be trained properly. But there are some I send off with not around young kids not because there aggressive but they were and if a kid does something to a dog the dog will react to it . The dog doesn't know any better! It's a dog!!! I sadly put the 1%down recently as I couldn't fix him and I wouldn't give him away so I kept him and worked with him he became my only failure , I had to make a tough choice with baby on the way and this dog couldn't be trusted anywhere I put him down. The 3 dogs I have left are big baby's but one doesn't like her feet touched ever since she was a pup . So I will need to keep a watch on that all the time ! It's called parenting!
 
Really? If the toddler is hitting pets, its hitting other things as well. That kind of behaviour needs to be stopped.
I'm not seeing anything wrong with what he said? My last dog was a great one but at 1 he wouldn't quit getting rough with the kids and wouldn't listen. I finally had it when I heard my kids screaming and he wouldn't back off... I punched him as hard as I could right in the jaw and dropped him and from that day on he never did it again, had he I would have blown his head off! My children come before anybody and certainly anything.

If my dog ever acted aggressively without cause toward anyone, that would be the last day of its life.
 
Years ago when my daughter was born we had an older yellow lab. He was still as Goofy as all get out! Just how they should be. He as great! The first day we brought my daughter home, we were very cautious because they are animals and you never know. He was the only “child” since he was a pup. He ended up sleeping by her crib that first night and every night after. From crib to bed. They were inseparable! I had to correct my daughter on how to behave, not him. He was great. That said, she was never allowed do do what was in the pics, I’m confident he wouldn’t have got ugly because I’m sure there were times I didn’t catch and he never got ugly at anything. You shouldn’t let kids do those things to a dog who may be the sweetest thing going. Young kids will not see the difference from your dogs behavior and another dog who may not be so tolerant. Then it’s too late.

One of our Chihuahua's is like that with her feet.
Cutting her nails is a nightmare.
I think her skin is overly sensitive to touch because of the other ways she acts when being touched.
Are you saying you have a big dog that doesn't like the feet touched but everything else is "normal"?
That seems sort of odd to me.
Is that common in dogs then?

They are pack animals.
I guess you showed him who was top dog.
That's all.:)

Yes this dog is 82#'s and will not tolerate her feet touched unless I put her on her side and say give it and she will do what I say but if I touch on on accident she will try an nip ,she's allergic to life and brakes out certen times of the year when she gos outside her skin will get really bad . (But you can't blame her for this )

Yep I think everyone here agrees that 'grownups gotta be the grownups', and have to be mindful of leaving kids that are too young to 'get it' and dogs unsupervised...you just never know what a youngan will try to do and how an animal will react( cats too! )
 
My grandson is (was) a hitter when was around 3-4 and all I can say is there are some great dogs around him because he has never had a bite. I think his mom's 'friend' stopped his hitting though because his mom sure wouldn't do it. One day when they were visiting here he was going to hit me and did. I jumped his butt and told him never do that again knowing right well that would be an open invitation for him to do it again....and he did. When I raised my hand up saying he would be hit back, he paused but then went at it. It surprised him more that he got hit just as he landed his. Didn't hit him hard but he got hit hard enough to let him know that I meant business. It surprised him so much that it made him mad and he tried it again and got the same results only that time, no hits were made but at that point he started crying. At least his no discipline mom didn't say "oh come here poor baby" but instead took sides with me and told him to go sit in a chair and cry it out. Her saying that surprised me more than he did when he actually did what she told him to do lol
 
I had a friend years ago who got his kid a guinnea pig. While I'm sitting there, I'm watching his daughter and her friend handle it like it's a bean bag with both of them putting the animal on each other's shoulders. I watched about twice when it fell to the floor and finally spoke up and told both her parents that they need to teach their children about animals. It was pissing me off that these kids were doing this and thinking it was funny. I always had to be the bad guy around their kids, they just let them do whatever they wanted... we aren't friends anymore.
 


I was thinking more about this today and I stared wondering if at least some of the parents that allow it to happen do not believe in or practice corporal punishment and the child does not understand what he/she is doing.

In other words : "Here kid, let me show you what the dog is feeling".
Just saying.
 
Yes some one needs to set the kid straight. We don't need more adult fools tormenting bull bison in Teton National Park.

No kidding! I just watched "Yellowstone Live" and there were dozens of future "Darwin Award" recipients outside of their cars within a short sprint of....a BEAR.
Another guy elsewhere was taunting a bull Bison. IDIOTS!
 
To imagine the dork thinking his car would have saved him from a pissed bison. Has never seen the carnage one can create or how fast they can actually move.
