Getting a dog into a family with a child so that a small person learns responsibility and unconditional love from childhood is a great idea. But not all breeds are suitable for raising children. Some are naturally less trusting and tend to show temper when they don’t like something.
The Dog Trainer Albany blog has compiled five of these breeds. They will not show enough patience with small people and may be a threat to them. Especially if the dog has not been properly socialized and trained to contact with the child from an early age.
Chihuahua
It would seem that such a small dog should be ideal for a child, but this is not entirely true. This is not a family dog. Chihuahua chooses one owner for himself and can be jealous of him quite strongly. In addition, these animals do not like discomfort, and the noise and desire to play inherent in children can greatly interfere with them. The answer can be very harsh.
Rottweiler
This is a big dog capable of real aggression, so Rottweilers need a significant amount of training and upbringing. But a child can greatly annoy a dog of this breed with his desire to communicate and touch the animal, where he pleases. A separate danger is the innate skills of a watchman – a Rottweiler may react incorrectly to children’s games and fuss.
chow chow
A dog that looks like a giant teddy bear can be a great hug for a child. But this breed is distinguished by waywardness and a difficult character, which is difficult to correct even with a professional approach. Therefore, a large dog over time, with rather unpredictable reactions, can pose a serious danger to a child.
pit bull
Pit bulls can be very good-natured and loving, but the unpredictable behavior of this breed spoils everything. They tend to react inadequately even to adults, to say nothing of children. An outbreak of aggression can occur with such a dog at any moment and it is not a fact that there will be an adult next to the child to protect him.
Dalmatian
A breed characteristic of Dalmatians is a tendency to anxiety. They may go too far, trying to protect themselves from something that seems dangerous to them. In addition, they do not like an unpredictable environment, which is difficult for them to provide when there is a noisy and active child in the house. Education can affect this wonderful dog, but Dalmatians are still not recommended to start in families with very young children.

I work as a news website author and mostly cover the opinion section. I have been writing since I was a teenager, and have always enjoyed telling stories. I studied journalism at university and loved every minute of it. After graduating, I decided to move to London and take up a position with a Global Happenings. It has been an incredible experience, learning about all sorts of different cultures and meeting some amazing people. My goal is to continue learning and growing in my career so that I can provide readers with the best possible content.
