Re: Nervous children and dogs

My springer is very friendly but she growls at the vet. She can sense the vet is frightened of her. She is fine with the dog groomer.

It really annoys me when people don't put the dogs on leads. They know (or think) they know their dog is OK. Or they don't care.

They could sponsor a dog, where they could go and see it and make friends with it. Lots of rescue centres offer this without the commitment to own them. Or if you know someone with a friendly dog they could play ball with. As with all animals always supervise children with pets.
