like this is a safety thing, ur kid can throw a fit if they wanna, thats not my responsibility. i dont even live in an area with lots of kids, so..im not taking her anywhere she shouldn’t be, and shes not ever aggressive. but she looks at some small kids the way she looks at squirrels and idk what the difference is so no means no, and idc if ur child has a tantrum over it, they’d cry harder if they got bit by a 70lb dog. idk why thats hard to understand.
idec shes always on leash and has a strong recall if not, so i’ll remove her from the area if i need to, but thats hard to do with a 5 year old chasing after her screaming after ive said no 3 times. like dude get ur kid after the FIRST no, and we’ll leave, dont stand there and giggle and then catch an attitude bc i wont let him touch her? why am i looking out for ur kids safety more than you are🥲
Because unfortunately a lot of parents like to believe they can and will get everything for their child because they love them despite truly acknowledging that it’ll hurt them instead. It’s about them feeling like they’re being a “good” parent vs actually being a discerning parent
i understand that. idk i just feel like in any case, thats a step in moment. my dog is chill af. but we encounter other dogs who are reactive on walks. so i cross the street. just in case the other dog feels like charging and the owner cant control them. thats common sense i fear. i want her to make friends but not at the risk of her safety. i understand wanting ur kid to have experiences but if they’re at risk you gotta say NO.
not necessary. shes never bitten anyone or anything ever. the moral of the story is and was, if your child is trying to approach a dog you dont know, or any dog, and the owner is saying no, you get your kid. i doubt shed do anything. but when the risk is her potentially getting put down we avoid that anyways. and shes a dog. you’d think a parent would have more regard for their child than i do for my dog. it wouldn’t be her fault.
thats what im saying. im not. she doesn’t. and shes only iffy about children. i dont live in an area where theres children around often. but im not entitled to a child free world. i dont think its a serious risk, but if im telling u hey back up shes picky about kids. thats a good time to collect ur kid ESPECIALLY if theyre chasing us while trying to leave. my dog is controlled. the children arent. and im only responsible for the dog.
