No the baby and puppy are never ever alone together and if interaction occurs I am always and have always been directly inbetween them so my son can not get rough or accidentally hurt the puppy. And the dog is not a super small puppy he is a well built 6 pound dog. Suddenly today he chooses to start barking/growling at him though. Once he was just trying to stand up. It is never when the child actually has contact with him always when he is back a little ways. Anyone have any suggestions, because though we love our dog if I can not resolve this issue the dog will have to go because my kids come first ALWAYS. Help me please!!! |
He is 14 weeks old, he is playing, he is scared one or both...have him sit on your childs lap on the sofa and give him treats etc., I think everyone is a little excited and not use to the whole puppy thing. Take him to Pet Smart Puppy school and bring the whole family...please don't give up on him just yet...
