How to Make Your Dogo Argentino Live Harmoniously with Kids and Other Pets

The Dogo Argentino will no doubt bring happiness to a family setup with children and other pets. All this will work smoothly if done in a sensitive and proper way. Below is a list of some of the most critical things and tips that will bring about harmony and safety between your Dogo Argentino, your children, and other pets.

Always supervise the Dogo Argentino, children, and other pets, especially during the first introduction period. Proper socialization and high positive experience can minimize cases of miscommunication and build trust.

Just like with children, make sure to let your children know how to treat the Dogo Argentino—that is, gently and with respect. Make sure the children know how to read the body language of the dog, the importance of rough play, and also to always provide your dog with his space.

Boundaries for your Dogo Argentino, children, and other pets should be set with enclosed safe spaces in which the dog can retreat when it just wants a break and help the children learn how to respect these boundaries.

Always train your Dogo Argentino for obedience and responsibility. The most basic skills in obedience will help your dog know what is expected and set a very good foundation with children and other pets.

Ensure that children or other family members know how to handle, pet, or stay around your Dogo Argentino without causing unintended harm or discomfort. They should do this by gently touching or petting and positive reinforcement when in good behavior.

Watch his behavior and body language when he is around children and other pets. Watch for any signs of behavioral stress, fear, or discomfort and break it up if needed, to prevent trouble and make sure everyone stays safe.

Visits to the vet: Regular visits to the veterinarian can help keep your Dogo Argentino as healthy as possible. Do remember that you have to share the questions that are in your mind with your vet regarding the behavior of your dog or its interactions with children and other animals.

Then you will have a great atmosphere when all your children and pets will respect and love each other. If you have other questions on this, or you would like to ask for advice, do not hesitate to ask me!
