Yes, yes, and yes. Your child and your puppy are both babies and will each have their fears, etc., and will grow through them...and need to learn how to get along and peacefully co-exist. It just takes time, caring, love, patience, understanding, and a healthy smattering of logic and 'common sense' and it doesn't hurt to have some keen powers of analytical observation, watching body languages and putting yourself in both your child's place and your puppy's place to figure out why things are occurring. Make continual adjustments as needed...go slow and easy getting everyone comfortable in the same household. Everything has changed and the excitement is still fresh and new. You will all be together for quite some time most likely...no need to expect immediate perfection. |
