Having a toddler in the house, can be one of the most chaotic periods of a families life – and just imagine what that 8-year-old dog is thinking! During this second section of the Dogs & Families series, Jennifer discusses how to manage the household, dog and toddler so that everyone can live in harmony.
Dogs & Families Part III – Dogs & Kids

In this final section, Jennifer talks about older kids and dogs. The kids are no longer toddlers, are beginning to have control over their own lives and are creating their own agendas. They are embarking on a journey where they begin to develop a social life and are having friends over to visit. If only they acted like adults! But they don’t, so we need to help both the children and the dogs to adjust to this change in the family dynamic. If done properly, this can be the most rewarding time in a family’s and dog’s life. Those that have taken the Dogs & Storks program will have already have heard much of this talk, but there will be new information, as well.
