Kids and Dogs

Colleen Pelar's Kids & Dogs Blog: Information for parents and other adults who want to help kids and dogs have safe and happy relationships.

"Kids and dogs. They go together like apple pie and vanilla ice cream or cookies and milk. We expect children and dogs to get along great and be best buddies. So we might wonder why anyone would need a book about living with kids and dogs.

Once you try having both under the same roof, you know the truth: living with kids and dogs in the same household is not always easy–but it can be done with happy results. It's simply a matter of education."

Colleen wrote a great book, Author of Living with Kids and Dogs . . . Without Losing Your Mind. I have two copies. One is mine. The second one I loan to clueless students.

The kid annoys Blue. Note: She is wearing a white sock and a sock black by choice in honor of her zebra. "I have another pair just like these, too!" she said.

Doggy Door

How do you teach a dog to use a doggy door?

There is one in this house that was installed before we moved in. For one thing the door is much too high.

Red used it once with me luring him back in to the house which is his prefered place to be. He banged his hip on it and will not even stick his head in the flap any more. Not even for freeze dried string cheese.

Blue is sure that the flap is trying to eat her. She will peek in if the kid holds the flip open for her.

Both dogs stand outside and cry to come in. Neither see the doggy door as safe option.
