Connect The Dog & Child Together
Connect what the child does with how the dog responds, and how the dog looks or feels after it is done. Stress this accomplishment by pointing out that the dog is happier or healthier. Be specific as in the example of showing a child how to brush the dog's coat. The dog wags his tail more often now or his dull coat is now shiny, and that the child made this happen.
Turn failures into learning
We learn when we fail in life. The same rule of the thumb applies in the relationship of your child and the dog. The dog has its own behavior, much like each human person is unique and has his own set of attitude. You must let your child understand that he is the superior being and that he should try harder to make his relationship a better one for the dog. There are cases wherein it will be too difficult to work things out since there are some dogs who are a little too playful and there are some dogs who just refuse to learn at all. Help your child have some strategies to improve his friendly relations with the dog.
You should use examples to site some things that you want to teach to your dog. Your dog and your child will not get along all the time. In this case, your child should be the one to adjust since he is the more intelligent being. Guide your child by citing some illustrations like you can take him out to observe how some children enjoy playing with their pet dogs and how playing can strengthen his bond with the dog.
Guide the child into re-establishing the relationship. Let him solve the problem by going back out in the yard, approaching the dog slowly, giving him food, patting him and reassuring him in a soothing voice.
Explain to the child - this was a misunderstanding. And if he gets through the hard times, it will help him understand his dog better, he will have a better pet and they will have more fun together.
