| My rott knows that kids are smaller than she is and she can't be rough at all with them. She is great around kids and my family. My family had a bunch of negative feelings about me getting a Rott but now they love her to death and pay her more attention than me. To introduce your dog to a new member of the family you can get a doll or a stuffed animal and wash it with your clothes and hold it around the dog and just get her used to having someone else around that smells just like you. It worked with my nephew and now the dogs act real calm around him and also let him pet them (he's 1 yr old now). Good Luck |
