Hello
DB has a border collie, who is very nervous of our DS. (Understandably so as DS when not restrained will run at him waving his arms and shrieking with excitement). The dog has been very good & only ever growled twice at DS, but the situation does make me very anxious. They only visit every couple of months, but short of keeping them apart all the time, and moving the furniture slightly so the dog has escape routes and safe places which DS finds it hard to get to, is there anything we can do to help DS learn how to behave around the dog, or is it just a matter of time until DS grows up a bit? Visit is coming up & I'm dreading it slightly TBH.
Many thanks. for any suggestions.
