That's like you and I never going to hug a horse again because we got our foot stepped on once. Logan used to be the 'test kid' at the rescue I managed with dog. If we had a dog that didn't have a history with kids, bring in Logan! (he was anywhere from 2-5 years old at that time) He knew how to pet new dogs (under the chin) and wouldn't approach. He's great with dogs, if a bit bossy/hyper. Nah, he's fine. At he moment, he just stopped and stared at me because he didn't know how to react. (and I'm very very pleased with that- his normal reaction would have been to yell at the dog, which would not have helped anything) I'm sure he'd love to meet Callie though.

Maybe in some alternate universe. If I'd been going to give up on horses it would have probably been when I had my face bashed in by a head-flinger (not mine). Yeah, that wasn't fun. Or maybe the broken foot? Or concussion? Or.....oh hell, the list goes on and on and on.... Here Decoy, Decoy, Decoy!

It's a gut-sinking feeling when something alters interactions you are are used to having between kids and dogs I don't have any advice to give, but I wanted to lend some support. I've been there before! (Haz+ kids on swings= bad news) After reading your posts and others on this board, I am confident that you can and will turn this into a fortunate learning experience and will be grateful that you had the oppotunity to prevent a larger issue. It still sucks that it happened, but just keep thinking about the silver lining

(Haz+ kids on swings= bad news) That one was an eye opener for me when I first got Koenig. I nearly lost a leg!!! (luckily it was me on the swing, not a child....) Now he's at the point where I can park him between my 2 kids while they swing. He looks miserable, but that's related to the down-stay, not the swinging kid. Took LOTS of work though.

Aaron Myracle Webboard User Reg: 06-06-2008 Posts: 5062 Loc: WA, USA Offline	Oh, and yes, I do love my new slip collar! It's perfect for store-runs. I worry far less about leaving it on her in the crate, because it's loose enough that I don't have to worry about her getting hung-up and strangling while I'm inside. Normally I've had to take all her gear off of her when I go in, and put it back on when I come out, just to alleviate that fear. I won't drive with her un-collared and with a tab-leash on, just in-case something happens that necessitates getting her out in an emergency when she's freaked. Now I have her tab leash and the slip collar on the rack next to my keys. I can grab keys, grab dog, and out the door we go. SO much faster!

Kelly Byrd Webboard User Reg: 07-28-2010 Posts: 2249 Loc: Tacoma, WA Offline	Koenig wears his quite often. I think it may be a nice bridge between a fursaver, and a flat collar. (I don't know if we'll ever be to the point of casually walking on only a flat collar...lol) Koenig is never un-collared in the car either, but in my Nissan he's loose. Can't get a crate big enough for the dog in there!

Lobbying again for this ball. http://leerburg.com/1195.htm?utm_source=nlist&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=11022009 Logan will be able to send it flying with one kick, unlike a jolly ball. I'd suggest this as well, but you probably don't want a dog who is around a bunch of soccer-playing kids thinking all soccer balls are his. http://www.planetdog.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=15110000 Ripley & his Precious
