Out of all the relationships your kids have,how can one deny the benefits of loyal friend like dogs who lives 24/7 close to your kid.Its the best mutual relationship .Before moving towards the best dog breeds for your child let me list benefits your kid get from this bond.

Puppies are like babies.

Just like an infant or baby needs greater care and attention, the same is the case with puppies. Engage your child in every activity related to dog and soon kid will develope a sense of responsibility towards his pet . This activity has a tangible results in growth of a child who will eventually learn how to take care of your friends,family by sensing their wants .

What Do’s and Don’t towards dog-breeds

Kids always want that they should be the center of attention to their family but when an another small pet is kept under observation of that attention seeking kid that will be the game changer . A kid learns how to behave with pet and value their friendship bond. A sense of long commitment , kindness , empathy and everyday practice of this will lead a kid towards positive grown adult . By involving with their sensitive naughty small dog they learns what to do for their pet to keep him happy like

  • Warmly greeting a dog at it’s first day
  • Making of comfortable puppy bed ,clothes etc
  • Pooch’s pad
  • Bathroom training
  • Proper food and diet

Which acts are to be unlearned

  • Harshly treating a dog
  • Get him feel lonely
  • Not a proper care

Engaging in physical activity

It is of no doubt kids now a days stick to mobiles, digital games, vedio games, and tablets. Everywhere kids are seen indulged in mobiles . Having a pet who needs attention is a key to separate them from screen.

A fun loving pet who wants to play frisbee or bone burying involve his owner to play with . Indeed, it pave a way for a kid to stay away from screen and increase their cardiovascular health and reduce anxiety.

The best dog breeds for kids are selected on the basis of the age of your child. Kid having age of 4–5 years are unable to own their pet (in that case proper checking by adult is required) Children of age 13–14 years have developed enough intelligence and abilities to train their pet. So it’s a tricky to choose which dog breeds are best for kids.
