Are Coton de Tulears good with kids?

Yes, Coton de Tulears are good with kids. They tend to enjoy both playtime and snuggles, and can adapt to the varying energy levels of children. However, it' s important for pet parents to also teach their dogs how to gently interact with children.

As with any breed, it is recommended to supervise interactions between young children and your Coton de Tulear to keep both the children and pup safe. It’s important to teach children how to interact respectfully with dogs, especially small breeds like Cotons. Children should learn to approach dogs calmly, avoid pulling on their hair or ears, and understand when a dog needs space. Respecting the dog’s boundaries helps prevent any unintentional harm and fosters a positive relationship.
