Is He Good With Kids?

Roman made yet another friend at Erik's baseball practice. Whether you have children or not, it's important to expose your dog at an early age. Get your dog used to the sudden and erratic movements of kids, so he won't become reactive to them (the same can be said for anything out of your dog's ordinary life: people with hats, in wheelchairs, men are some other common 'fears' of an unsocialized/desensitized dog).

This desensitization does not end when your puppy passes his socialization period. It's a lifelong process of reinforcement. We meet all sorts of people on our daily walks and I still will praise the dogs for being calm in different situations.
