Our 2.5 DS is obsessed with our 11 year old dog, but just doesn't know how to interact with her. He is very rough with her, constantly hits and grabs her, and gets jealous whenever we show her any attention. He's never had any problems with hitting or acting inappropriately with other kids at nursery.
Our poor gentle doggie doesn't want to be anywhere near him, and is usually agitated whenever we are all at home together. We try to teach him to give the dog her own space and be gentle with her, but it's really not working.
Does anyone have any advice on how we can deal with this?
