I mean if your a person that rarely has guest and doesnt take your dog out around people very much, including kids, of course they are going to be like that. they have to be exposed to kids/ people to learn its ok and can be fun. I have a house full of people of all ages all of the time, and I take them out alot around people. So they get all kinds of socialization. I thought that was especially important with Athena being she was so young when I got her. She was only 6 weeks old. |
This is definitely not Max and Teddy. They are equally bonded with me and my father. Max would happily go home with my brother too, lol, although he might miss me.
Max doesn't mind kids, but we had a couple of bad experiences with them. Kids threw things at my dogs, including water.
It was heartbreaking seeing the confused looks on Max and Teddy's faces.
I do agree that it has a lot to do with socialization.
