PUPPY'S AND KIDS

What were you thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Families with children under the age of 7 or 8 you really need to think twice before getting certain breeds of dogs. Goldens, Goldendoodles, Labs, Labradoodles, Herding breeds. These dogs will do nothing but use your children as chew toys, trampolines and playthings. Puppy's aren't for the kids they're for life. Oh I know what your thinking, your kids are the exception, they can handle it. As a trainer of 19yrs, I find adults can barely handle it let alone children.
Ask yourself this, how consistant are my kids? what is their attention span? how quick do novelties wear off? will they be able to establish leadership with the puppy?, even with Mom and Dad's help, YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES with these particular puppy behavior problems and even with the best of training they do not go away overnite.
Consider going to a shelter and adopting an older dog who is out of the puppyhood stage is a much better and responsible answer.
But, people will read this blog to late!
