Day 9- Children

Continuing on from when we discussed having extra people to the house at this time of year, we also end up with a lot more children visiting. Depending on their age will depend on their hyperactivity level (Christmas is coming after all!). Again, this can result in our dogs becoming much more overwhelmed a lot quicker. 

To combat this we can look into gradual introductions with some calmer children and build up to the more excited, and utilise the Doggy Zen Den previously discussed. It can be a lot harder for children to understand why they are not allowed to fuss, play or chase the dog when they are in the den so it is up to the adults to supervise and step in if necessary.
