The last time we were at her house her dog tried to bite my six year old. My son did nothing to provoke the dog. She has never tried this before. We will be going over to her house from time to time, and I'm not sure what I should do. We, many times when we look at children, think that they are innocent young creatures.
Dogs have different perspective when it comes to fear behavior reaction.
You cannot push your child on a dog that exhibits fear biting . You must introduce your child to the dog by giving it treats and building up a trust between the child and the dog. The owner of the dog should discipline the dog verbally when it is showing aggression towards the child. The dog is actually afraid of the child. One of the most important things to avoid is feeling sorry for the dog and pet it and tell it that it is only a child and don't be afraid of it and everything is going to be okay.
