Meeting Children
You should have no trouble at all encouraging your children to play with your new puppy. Still, you'll want to supervise his first interactions with your kids and set playtime limits - 15 to 20 minutes two or three times a day. Here are still more ground rules to explain:
- No rough teasing or playing. Tell your kids that tail-pulling and teasing can lead to bad habits like jumping up.
- Be gentle. Tell kids never to shout at the new puppy,even if he does something wrong. Explain that dogs can be startled by loud noises.
