No way are you being over protective. My sister is young (4) and has been raised with Jackson, and she is very good with him, but the problem is that she is TOO good with him. She constantly wants to be doing something for him, or with him, or giving him treats and doing tricks, etc, so I hate leaving him home alone (I live at home) while I am not there and she is, because my parents aren't really dog people and don't understand. I just wouldn't want something to happen while I am not there so I am very paranoid and do not leave him much when I don't have to. Supervised, I have no problem, but I do not think young children and dogs should ever be left alone. |
