Kids – learn to “be a tree.” When a dog is chasing you or jumping up at you, cross your arms and turn your head down and away from the dog and wait for him to walk away. Dogs don’t chase or jump on trees! This is useful when you are around a frisky dog or a dog makes you nervous.
Parents – reinforce your dog for looking away from a child who is “being a tree.” Learn the “be a tree” posture and demonstrate it to your children (for more on “be a tree’” check out www.doggonesafe.com). |
So this would be for a frisky doggy, but not an aggressive dog, right?
