In children up to 6?years, interactions such as interfering with the dog's
resources and also benign behaviors (e.g., petting) commonly precede a bite
incident with the family dog. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to
explore the development of everyday interactions between children up to 6?years
and their family dogs and whether parents' attitudes to supervision are related
to those interactions. Additionally, we investigated whether behavior of dogs
that had lived in the family for longer than the child differed from those that
grew up with children. A self-selected sample of caregivers living with a child
up to 6?years and a family dog was surveyed via an online questionnaire
(N?=?402). Frequency of observed child behaviors directed toward the dog and dog
behaviors directed toward the child were scored on a six-point scale (1-never and
6-very often). Data on characteristics of the caregiver, the child, and the dog
were collected, and a section surveying attitudes to supervision of child-dog
interactions was included. Additionally, we asked whether the dog already injured
the child. Benign child behaviors toward dogs were most frequently reported
(mean?±?SD: 4.1?±?1.2), increased with child age (r(s)?=?0.38, p?0.001), and
reached high levels from 6?months on. Overall, resource-related interactions were
relatively infrequent (2.1?±?1.1). Most common was the dog allowing the child to
take objects from its mouth (4.1?±?1.7). This behavior was more common with older
children (r(s)?=?0.37, p?0.001). Reported injuries during resource-related
interactions occurred while feeding treats or taking objects from the dog during
fetch play. Dogs that had lived in the family for longer than the child showed
less affiliative behaviors toward the child (e.g., energetic affiliative:
U?=?-7.171, p?0.001) and more fear-related behaviors (U?=?-3.581, p?0.001).
Finally, the caregivers' attitudes to supervision were related to all child
behaviors (e.g., allow unsafe behaviors-benign child behavior: r(s)?=?0.47,
p?0.001). The results of this study underline the need for a dog bite
prevention approach directed toward the caregivers very early in the child-dog
relationship, taking into account the child's age and individual needs of the
dog.
