You hold a child's hand (although I have seen children on leashes) and toddlers do not know not to run into the street and have to be supervised until they are old enought to know not to run into the street.
We train our children. We should train our dogs too.
The way I train my family about the yorkies is to tell them that "it is just like having toddlers in the house"....you have to "puppy proof" the house, you have to look before you close a door or take a step, you have to know where the toddlers are at all times if you are the one responsible for them at the moment, etc.
I continue to "discuss" this because I am learning from others and they are learning from me which is why I like this forum.
No one "has" to read this thread.
