Whats a good toy breed dog for kids?

Miss Amy

I have two girls, one is 5yrs old & one is 5 months old. I'm looking to get a dog for them for Christmas this year but I'm unsure about what breed. I need a dog thats not very fragile (no chiwawas or yorkis) and not aggressive. I know there are tons of breeds but I dont have any resources of picking a dog.

Answer
I have a Havanese, which are excellent with young kids. He truly is! He's the best dog our family has ever had, and plays tirelessly with kids.... he's never bitten anyone in his life, greets strangers merrily and puts up with all kinds of rough housing.

We got him when our youngest was less than a year old, our middle child was four and our oldest seven. We were very very protective and careful with him with the kids when he was a tiny puppy, and taught the kids to be gentle with him. He quickly bonded with our one year old and the two are best friends. He rarely leaves his side! (he's 3 now)

Havaneses don't shed, are hypo-allergenic, are great with strangers, are smart as can be and are very long lived. The breeder we used gave us a large one, as she said they are just better with kids. They travel well and are small enough to take in the plane cabin with you. The breed is a toy breed normally weighing 7-13 pounds, but the large ones like ours go 18-20 pounds, which is about as small as you'd want to go with young kids.

Havanese are members of the Bichon family, but more sturdy and less aggressive than some of their cousins. They are insane athletes and have been used in the past as circus dogs. Ours jumps into our arms and leaps right onto our kitchen counters!

If you have very young children, I would highly suggest against an adoption as you can't be sure what kind of temperment you'll be getting. When the kids are older, sure, save a life, but while they are so young, it's extremely important to be sure the dog's inborn temperment is as gentle as possible. My sister adopted the sweetest mutt puppy who turned very nasty later (her other two dogs are fine, so no, it isn't her), you just don't want to risk that.

BTW, I found out about the breed using the animal.discovery.com breed search engine mentioned above!

How do you train your dog not to steal human food from tables, baby toys, pacifers and diapers?

Emi

My sister and her 2 kids moved back to state and is staying with me, my mom, and my 2yr old matlipoo. My sister is constantly complaining about my dog getting a hold of diapers and shredding them, getting the kids toys, and stealing food from the kids plates...and of course chewing up and stealing all the pacifers. She is a good dog and plays well but i feel she is just seeing all these things as food and toys. What is a good way to get these bad habits out of my dog?

Answer
You need to take your item from the dogs mouth very quietly, calmly and softly. and give the dog its toy instead. the toy has to be of the same texture as the item he stole from you. for example if he stole a plastic bottle, calmly take the bottle away , say NO and replace with the similar plastic toy that belongs to the dog and say GOOD BOY or girl. have a few toys of different textures. so you can replace them quickly for similar one. like if he chews a wooden furniture, give him a wooden stick, if it a wire, give him something long and gummy he will then learn the difference between his things and your things.
you may have to do it 20 times in 1 go but he will give up eventually and then he will appreciate that he has his own things and they are not worse than yours actually :-)

What to get an 11 year old girl for christmas?

AmyBell95

So christmas is obviously coming up, and my little sister is 11 years old and i have no idea what to get her. Shes not really into stupid kid toys or board games or anything like that. shes really funny, outgoing, sweet and hangs out with me (who is 15) so shes kind of mature and doesn't want boring stuff. and i don't really want to get her a gift card or money because that's to original and she gets that from allot of people. i need something that's not to expensive, and is special. Please help.

Answer
You could invite her out to see a movie with you and a couple of her friends, or take her shopping?

best kids toys girl image

TheRedHead

The family i am babysitting for has three kids. Girl (9), Girl (6) and Boy (3). What are somethings that i could do that would appeal to all three of them? (besides a movie or tv). And be specific if you say a game too. Thank you

Answer
Glitter pens on paper. Bring old magazines to cut and paste. Bring or make hand puppets from old socks use crayons felt glue or colored paper. Make cut and color brown paper sack masks. String colored cereal necklaces with a string and bobby pins. Glue cereal or different pastas to card board. Make treasure boxes for tiny toys from small boxes with colored paper or bits of old wrapping paper. Make tiny sandwiches with crackers cheese cold cuts and cookie cutters. Read books and do your own sound effects. Bring pop-up books they haven't seen of read some of theirs. ask them to show you a favorite toy or play thing ad tell you about it. Listen and ask questions. They will love telling you things. Even young people like to talk about their selves or one another.What do they do at school and do they have projects to work on. The boy will probably have an earlier bed time and tooth brushing and prayers may be a part of that. The girls need quiet games or books after his bed time. You will make for the little boy with his ideas and help girls when asked. The time and space has a lot to do with your selections and they may have suggestions. The boy will have stacking toys and cars and trucks. The girls may have American girl dolls or paper dolls they like.

Does anyone have any puppy training tips?

Heidi J

I have a 10 week old GoldenDoodle named Eilidh (AYlee). She's very sweet and I recently had to put a dog down for aggression. I don't want to make any mistakes this time. I have a dog training book (Dog Training Made Easy) but I would like to know of any other tips to train her the right way. We have been very careful not to smack her when she's "naughty" and we just yell "NO" in a harsh voice.

She's still not potty trained but we've only had her two weeks and she goes outside most of the time. When she does go inside, I know it's because WE aren't paying attention.

I guess what I'm asking is the proper way to punish her when she's eating my rug, or a shoe, or one of the kids toys. Right now we just say "NO" and give her one of her "Good girl toys.". Any ideas?
Also, I was told by my vet that she shouldn't go to puppy training classes until she is 15 weeks, after all of her shots. Will that be too late?

Answer
Its not too early to start on the sit-stay and down- stay and come.. When she begins chewing, give her any of the above commands, and be persistant about her doing it..that way, when you do give her a treat, it is for a job well done...It also shows her that when she tries to create her own job, that you have a better one for her..
The Basics
SIT, COME, DOWN, STAY, HEEL.

SIT

Holding a treat in your left hand just above the pup's nose, gently rest your right hand on pup's rump.
Slowly move the treat in an upward motion while applying gentle pressure to the rump. ( you don't want to push hard because if you do the dog will sit every time someone touches him and this is not good for competitive obedience)
as soon as pup sits say in a very happy excited tone "GOOD SIT" and give the treat.
Repeat exercise 7x. then take a play break and move on to something else.
very young pups should not train for more than a half hour each day
every time you put food bowl down or give a treat give the sit command, and wait for the sit. then once pup sits give treat or food down.
DO NOT move on to something new until pup has the new command down pat.

COME

walk away from pup about 10 feet to start. say pup's name and "COME" in a happy voice. once pup comes praise it lavishly have a bit of a play and give it a treat.
Gradually increase the distance you walk away. and eventually once pup knows command only treat every 3rd come. tapering off until he comes every time with out treat using only praise.
this will take a few days to learn if you practice every day.

DOWN

Start with pup in sit. move hand with the treat between the pup's front paws on the ground.
Say "DOWN" in firm but not loud voice.
pup might try and get treat without going down, don't let him have it until he downs.
praise in happy voice "GOOD DOWN"
repeat 7x

STAY

Start pup in down position. say "STAY" in firm voice. walk to end of leash, backwards. if the pup moves say once only "AP" in a not pleased tone. go back do not say anything. put pup in down again repeat "STAY" walk backwards to end of leash.
pup does NOT get praise or treat until he stays for 30 seconds, then a minute, then 5 minutes. move times up each week.
after he can do a 5 minute down/stay every time. move on to a sit/stay doing exactly what you did for down/stay.
Once on leash sit and down/stays are reliable for 5 minutes each. drop the leash and walk away from your pup, your back to the pup. about 10 feet away. wait 5 min. recall your dog. with dog sitting in front of you once he reaches you. treat and praise.

HEEL

Please do NOT train with a choke collar. i recommend martingayles .
with dog on a short leash exactly beside you on your left side say "HEEL" if the dog starts to pull give a correction snap with leash on collar. and recommend "HEEL" the second your dog complies praise with "GOOD HEEL" in happy voice. and continue to walk , correct, and praise for 30 minutes.


Always end training sessions on a positive note. Never get angry with your pup for not responding to a command. Praise lavishly every time pup responds to a command.

What to get for a 16 month old little girl?

Q. My niece is 16 months almost 17 months. She loves books, owls, she just go introduced to dolls. She is a very intelligent girl. I think she is too old for the baby toys but not old enough for older kid toys. What should I get her?

Answer
Your daughter is just a bit younger than mine and I too think my daughter is too old for the baby toys. The Grandparents are getting my daughter the Fisher Price "Grow With Me Kitchen" since Reina likes to play make-believe and likes to stir things and pretend to give people bites from what she is stirring. Also, since she likes dolls- what about one of those child size baby doll strollers and a baby doll to go with it?
