Children and dogs can get along very well, and there are often intimate friendships between them. We have compiled the most important rules for dealing with dogs for all, whether dog owner or not.
If you read these rules carefully or let them tell you about your parents, you will understand dogs and their behavior better.
Treat a dog the way you want to be treated.
Would you like to get your hair on? Should someone pull your ears?
A dog likes it as little as you do. Dogs can not say "Stop!" Maybe they growled or walked away.
They can only defend themselves with their teeth. This can hurt very much. So that you know how to treat a dog properly, you should know about him.
A dog can still look so lovely - just go to it if its owner has allowed it.
How is the dog supposed to know that you're doing well with him? Perhaps this dog has been badly treated by a child, and now he thinks all children are to be treated with extreme caution.
You can never know what a dog has already done. So better: never go to a dog (without asking his or her mistress or master when they are).
If a dog is in his place or in his hut, he usually wants to be left alone. Do not disturb him there.
Avoid all that a dog could conceive as a threat.
Every dog is happy if he is allowed to live in a ranking and has his place. The stronger are above him, the weaker ones below, and must obey him. The strongest are adults for the dog.
Children are for a dog something like other dogs. You can play with them, but you do not necessarily have to do what they say. If a dog thinks that a child is of his rank, he feels it a threat when the child wants to tell him what he has to do.
- Do not challenge a dog and do not threaten him.
- Do not look rigidly in the eyes of a dog
- Look at the ear tips, on his muzzle or look elsewhere - just not directly into the eyes.
When two foreign dogs meet, they try to agree first about their position in the order of rank. The "look-in-the-eye" is a very important means. Both dogs stare into their eyes, one turns his head away, the other is satisfied. For him, it is clear that he is higher in the ranking. Both are happy that they do not have to fight. If no one can decide to look away - well, then fight is fought to assert the rank.
If you are staring at a dog, this is a challenge for him to fight. Never look directly into his eyes.
Do not come close to the tail, do not try to pull it, and do not step on it.
Its tail is an important expression of the dog.
Just as we underline our language with our hands, the dog complements his "language" with his tail. He can show that he is happy, frightened, angry or even quite calm. If the dog carries the tail up, he shows that he is doing well.
Almost unnecessary to say that just about every dog is incredibly proud of its magnificent end. Do not pull the tail!
The dog does not like it when you reach for his tail. He will defend him.
