Child Friendly

The calm demeanour and patience of the Curly Coated Retriever breed make them ideal family pets. They have a natural inclination for children to be capable of developing close relationships with them.

However, keep in mind that even the best-behaved dogs need adult supervision instruction when socialising with kids.

The safety of the children and the dog depends on adequate monitoring. Curly Coated Retrievers with youngsters, particularly young ones or those who have never met before, should have their relationships properly watched. This allows for quick resolution of any misunderstandings or cases of unintended physical play.

It's just as crucial to educate young people on how to behave properly around canines. They need to be taught to approach the dog slowly and steadily, without making any abrupt movements or making any loud sounds that can scare or surprise the dog. Children should be taught to let the dog alone not bother it when it is eating or resting.

It's also important to teach kids how to touch the dog correctly. Dogs are naturally fearful of anyone coming at them from above, so train them to approach from the side instead.

It's best to avoid the dog's ears tail, but stroking its back or chest is typically well-received.

It is important for parents to teach their children how to recognize when a dog is unhappy or stressed. Growling, licking the lips, avoiding eye contact are all possible warning signals.

In order to foster a pleasant safe relationship between children and Curly Coated Retrievers, it is essential to teach youngsters to identify and respect these signs.

Curly Coated Retrievers may benefit greatly from consistent exposure to pleasant interactions with youngsters.

But keep in mind that every dog is an individual, some may have unusually calm or hyperactive dispositions. When introducing a dog to a youngster, it's best to do it slowly in a safe environment.
