We have a 4 year son and a 6 month beagle puppy named Snoopy. (Yes Charlie Brown fans) We are trying to basically teach them both how to interact with each other. We have just had the puppy fixed and I am about to register the whole family and Snoopy in one of the Petsmart training classes. I was wondering if any of you have dealt with the whole child-puppy interaction thing and if you have any pointers. Snoopy likes to jump on and nip at our son as he is walking wanting to play. Our son takes this as he is picking at him and gets defensive. I am trying to work with our son about stopping, crossing his arms, and looking away. This is easier said than done with a 4 year old. Please help. Thanks.
