PUPPY MEETING THE CHILDREN!

With supervision, and during scheduled routine play times, encouraging your children to play with your new puppy. Set playtime limits - 15 to 20 minutes two to three times a day. During these play times, establish some ground rules as follows:

• Be gentle, no rough playing or rough teasing.
• No shouting at the new puppy, even if he/she does something wrong as dogs can be startled by loud noises.
• Instruct your kids against tail-pulling which can lead to behavioral issues on your pet such as jumping.
