dogs and children - a call to all parents

love dogs friends, dear parents, now write I do not own, but leave my mum telling times. It is her that is sent to an urgent need time to appeal to their own kind - so from person to person:

What I like now describe sound unbelievable, but because I "Meetings of this nature" had been alarmingly often in the park I'm taking now is the time to even write an article and describe a recent incident experienced: I walk with my dog, on a parallel path is a family with children. My dog is fond of children, but I leash him immediately, of course - after all, just do not know my dog, but I also what is proper. The paths eventually lead together, the family now is a few meters behind me. One of the children, an approximately 6-7-year-old boy suddenly comes from behind (screaming) running towards my leashed dog walking and foot brakes, up only when he is right on the dog. Now my dog happily used to children and very strong nerves - "Shot & Water Festival" as I care to joke. Any other dog would have probably felt threatened by the very strange attack of the strange boy. I am surprised that the parents have watched the scene, haber no move to give the child to explain that his behavior can be dangerous. (After all, people know My dog does not, and could not previously know if he is fearless enough to accept such attacks so casually)

The child runs back to the parents -. but only to gain momentum for the next attack. The whole thing is repeated 4 times, the parents to see, without saying a word. I decide to take the next attack of the boy's initiative. If it's the parents have not bothered to keep her child to explain that one must not approach strange animals in this form, I will do it at least. The child can not help it, after all, and my dog - fearless or not - I would not expect more attacks now even longer.

Unfortunately the boy is the next attack even harder - because now he does not slow down even more, but my poor dog jumps unchecked from behind right on the back. (Three cheers limitless to Alex's love of children and infinite kindness in dealing with children!) I kneel so low to the child and tell him gently but firmly, how dangerous was this action, and that it had bitten many other dog it is probably now . I tell the child that the dog does it hurt when he jumps in the back, and that there just are also dogs that are not used to children, may have pain, or even of people treated badly were - and then feel threatened when a stranger suddenly came running and screaming at her child will jump on it. Behold, the child listens attentively to my explanations and very interested. Now, however, the parents are approached. "You will have no trouble, that's the usual when he sees a dog" , tells me the mother of the boy with succinctly in passing, takes her child by the hand and pulling her then without words. I stay back stunned.

This is no joke, and unfortunately not an isolated case! I've seen many times that children come to the leashed dog walking and walking to running, smitten by him either to fall around the neck, or to throw himself on his back. Both are not particularly pleasant for the dog and some dogs can cause a defensive reaction. And in the vast majority of cases, parents simply distant, more! (In one case there was a mother hysterical started screaming to tear away her child from the dog, but even that is not exactly the most skillful behavior.) So I would like to once sent an urgent appeal to all parents:

Dear parents! Not only the dog owners, you too are called as parents to take responsibility to ensure that nothing happens! Dogs are, after all - just like cars, Bicycles and people - a part of public life. And just as it is a parental duty to teach the child that he may not play on a highway and your turn at the traffic lights must remain, one has to remind children and that of foreign animals to - be it dogs, horses or other animals - and quiet respectful behavior, they harassed, especially not.

It can not be that hard to explain to his children, other dogs that feel oppressed, and fear could snap sometimes, when a strange child zurennt to her and she starts. I've already said many children. They gave me always listened spellbound and it also immediately understood. And I think it's absolutely irresponsible of parents are simply too lazy to teach their children these simple rules of conduct!

who never teach his child that it should stand still when the lights are red, which may also not make the drivers alone responsible if the child is run over. And who judges rashly if the newspapers back in a sensational way, biting attacks is reported 'that would prefer to ask themselves, and whether he has shed his child actually good enough about other animals that you can not simply allowed to touch or harass - and it may catch up very quickly! For only when dog owners and parents behave verantworungsbewusst can "Biting Incidents," to be avoided.

Greetings from Alex and his wife!

PS: It is of course not to mention that we've also had many very positve encounters in which the parents behaved absolutely exemplary, their children are reminded that they must always ask if you touch the dog etc. Such meetings may cute dog, kid and dog owners are alike. However
accumulate such strange occurrences as described above, unfortunately since we live in Dusseldorf. When I still lived in the country, something has happened to me before. However, I can not say whether "city kids" are generally awkward in dealing with animals, or whether it possibly is due to the Hundevorordnung. I suspect the Dog Act stirs in some people the mistaken belief 'unbridled draufrumspringen "that all dogs that were not classified as" dangerous ", now synonymous stuffed animals and declassified. I have the impression that feel the entry into force of the dog law, some parents no longer responsible for their children the right behavior in dogs bring close encounters. However, this can have fatal consequences. Some tips on how to teach children the correct use of the dog Is there .
