Last time we went to the pet store, I had to convince some kids that Ana is really nice and was just really excited to see them. She was running around like crazy and pulling on her leash to go and run up to them and give them kisses. Once, I had to pick her up because a little girl was so scared of her that she wouldn't walk past us. The funny thing is that Ana doesn't have a mean bone in her body, she just gets so excited, she's TOO social! I spend more time coaxing people to say hello and pet her than I do keeping children away from her.

Are you talking about my Phoebe lol, she is like that too she will never bite anyone and we enjoy meeting people only one time this small child handle her not very well and the parents were so sorry and so do I, parents usually tell the children to ask first, or it the child ask to pet her I always say yes BUT be very gentle so far so good, the reason I'm so tolerant with people is because I remember how crazy I was when I saw my neighbor yorkie (before I had one) now I have a very social yorkie and people just melt with her

I have a story about something that happened at work a few weeks ago. I work at a dog boutique/grooming salon. I was checking out a customer that was picking up her two schnauzers that were being groomed. As she was leaving there was a mom and her three children (all pretty young - like probably 4-7 years old) walking down the sidewalk. This family lives across and down the street in government housing and were dirty looking and unkept. Anyway, so the customer was walking to her car with her two dogs and the three children just MOB the dogs...just all over them. The customer can barely get to her car. I was watching from inside and of course the lazy mom wasn't doing a thing about her kids. I thought to myself that these were the typical people that piss me off because they don't control their kids. So the customer gets in her car and drives off and I guess the family walks down to Blockbuster. Later on I see them walk back across the street to their house. Well like 30 minutes pass and my boss comes up to the front and a customer and her Pom come in to shop. I go in the back to eat lunch. I then see this family come back in the store. The kids just go crazy running after our dogs in the store (my boss's two yorkies in a stroller, the customer's pom, my Lacy, and another employee's chihuahua (she had just taken her outside to potty and she will bite so she's always kept in the back). I walked quickly back up to the front, grabbed Lacy, and took her in the back with me. I wasn't going to let some dumb kids torture my dog. Of course my boss told the kids that they should never run up to a dog and should always ask before petting. Didn't matter - the kids were wild and out of control. Well, the reason the family came back over and into the store was because one of the schnauzers that was leaving earlier had scratched one of the kid's stomach (not even a bad scratch). The mom wanted to know whos dogs they were so she could do something about it. Um yeah...we are actually going to give her the name of a customer...especially when she let her kids just run up to the dogs like that...and all the dogs did were jump up on them. And here the kids were in our store acting like wild things...all while the mom isn't doing a thing to stop them. That just made me so angry!

I love kids but some act worse than wild animals

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



believe me or not, but during my work in retail store I noticed, that most of dogs who had been in the store behave better than children. Seriously !

This mother is probably trolling with her kids for a potential lawsuit. The kids are probably coached to MOB the dogs, assuming the owners have $. I'd tell the shop owner to keep a close eye on that headache waiting to happen.

P.S. There was a mother in the news the other day, had her little kids stealing puppies from a pet shop.

I had to teach all three of my grandsons not to pick up or touch the babies unless I was there and gave them permission. Now they know they get time out if they do, so their pretty good. I think some kids should be put on leashes along with their parents who don't know how to behave.
