I have 4 kids ages 5 , 6 , 10 and 12. we only have one incident that my 6 year old daughter put the pup on the bed and the puppy fell but she is okay now. They are really good with our dogs... you just have to keep an eye on them all the time and tell them to be really careful with the dogs. I have to tell you that my Great Grandmother is worse of all....... She feeds them table scraps, carry them around like a stuff toy. My kids has to tell her not to do it because she could hurt them in doing so. And there's nothing wrong with my G grandma... if you're wondering....
