Please do not let your child hit, pull, ride, bounce on or otherwise annoy the dog and then get mad when the dog reacts! This is so very damaging to dogs hips and backs especially in dogs whose growth plates have not yet closed.
Lip licking, yawning, squinting eyes, closing their mouth when panting - they are all signs that the dog is stressed...and just because the dog has allowed it before doesn't mean it is okay...
SIMPLE RULE OF THUMB - If you wouldn't want someone to do it to you or your child - don't let your child do it to a pet!
