Improper transport of a child with his dog is fraught with accidents, warned President of the Russian Cynological Federation Vladimir Golubev at a meeting with RIAMO. He stressed that adults should ensure the safety of spending time with an animal, because all children understand that they are living beings, not soft toys.
“The child must understand that the dog is a living creature with its own feelings and desires. If he has his own interests and does not want to play or go for a walk, he need not be forced to do so, otherwise conflict cannot be avoided. “When communicating with a dog, it is important to consider its character, breed, temperament, physical and emotional state.”
As for stray dogs, he noted that their behavior is difficult to predict and a child’s contact with them can lead to tragedy. The expert advised to avoid encountering such animals.
