It is important that children understand the golden
rules of living with a puppy:
• A puppy must never be teased or played with
roughly.
• If a puppy is eating or sleeping, he must not be
disturbed.
• There must be no running, shouting, or screaming
when playing with a puppy.
• Games should involve the puppy’s toys only—not
the children’s toys.
Initially, it is best to supervise all interactions
between puppy and children to ensure that relations
get off to a good footing. If a sense of mutual respect
is established, they will soon become the best of
friends.
