Whose dog is it anyway?

So, it's seven o'clock in the morning under gray skies and pounding rain, and you're out there pounding the pavement with the family dog so he can do his business. Leash in one hand, plastic bag in the other; you move along slowly as the cold rain seeps down the back of your neck. Meanwhile, your dog doesn't seem to care about the weather, he's just enjoying the smells.

I'm sure you have experienced this!

Just because someone says he is the dog's owner it does not mean it is true. All that matters to him is how things are said to him and what a person does; not what people say as he does not focus on that.

In almost every case the dog is going to bond with the person who takes care of them. Dogs see who feeds them; they see who gets up groggy in the dark and rain to take them out. They even see who cleans up the mess they leave behind.

Dogs see who grooms them and who takes time for them.

So if you plan on getting a dog for your children you need to take this into account because if you are the one taking care of this dog then the dog is going to be your pet - not your child's.

If you think about all those stories of a boy and his dog, you should remember one thing, they're inseparable. You don't see one without the other. If your kids aren't going to put the time the dog isn't going to bond with them. Dogs aren't stupid; they won't bond with someone who ignores them.

If your child simply tolerates the dog it is all the dog will do for him! So make sure everybody is willing to put their time in to caring for him.
