Dogs may react to new stages of mobility

The pug is unsure of the new "crawler." Notice the circling and "shaking off" (as if after a bath). You can see sammy check in with Jacob and then go back to a "safe" spot the carpet) and then bark.

This would be a great time to give Sammy something else to do or to give a command to follow. It looks like this dog went to get a toy and distracted herself. This is a good choice and great response on the dog's part! :)

What do you see?

This dog gets an award for tolerance. Notice the licking lips, turning away, looking at the camara person, yaning.
The dog is cornered and is trying very hard to avoid conflict.
Toddlers are tough and inconsistent in their motion. Over time dogs may become weary of them and react. Repeated interaction of this type can make even the most docile of dogs "speak up."

Very funny!
