I realize that once you have a problem -- it's often hard to find someone to take it off your hands.

But - it depends on what the problem is. I think a lot of dogs are constantly wound up and going in circles when they are in homes with a lot of children and noise and company coming and going. And, needless to say, a lot of dogs are fearful and intimidated by young children who are often running around them, scaring them, pulling on their hair, etc. As well, some dogs don't do well in environments where people are emotional - a lot of loud talking, arguing, etc.

I think some of the dogs that are in the above situations will often do very well and do much better in a home with more calm people who have no children.

------------

I am an older (not ancient) person who is single and lives alone with no children. All of my pets are the most laid back things in the world. My children were this way too. I just seem to bring this out in the people and animals around me.

I do have quite a bit of company - but my pets are so easy going - that all they do is go bonkers with excitement whenever anyone comes over. They are totally excited and love everyone they meet. They are extremely happy to see the people and other dogs in the neighborhood - and they visit all of them every day. (But these are people who totally love them and spoil them and never give them any reason to be afraid in any way.)

I think our home environments have a great effect on our pets.

--------

A lot of dogs work out just wonderfully no matter where they live. But there are many that really do much better in a more calm environment.
This is why some animals can be successfully rehomed and do very well.

**** And if any of us are worried about our dogs around children --- wouldn't they do better in homes that have no children???? I think this would be an easy fix......and probably a great home for such a dog.
