About Charlotte B Expertise I can answer any question on raising and training dogs,the proper feeding, training, and behavior of animals.What I do not know for certain, I will take the time to research for the correct advise.
Experience My father was a veterinarian and taught me hot to take care of animals, starting at the age of three.
I have raised and trained purebreds, and mixed breeds.I participate in animal rescue groups in my area.
Up until my health made it necessary for me to stop, I have trained dogs.I have trained some dogs that could not be handled by their owners. They would bite their owners, but in 65 over 65 years of handling dogs, I have never been nipped in anger. The only times I have had skin broken was in playing with a little puppy, and they were not yet taught not to nip so hard.
Organizations SPCA of Irving Texas, several rescue groups.

What you are seem to be missing in this comment is that dogs CAN and DO transmit worms through licking a childs face. When they lick their anus they pick up worms then lick your face and/or mouth they can give you worms too. YUCK! I would sooner teach my children not to take the chance then to have them running around because their bottoms are itchy with worms. Ultimately, it is better to be safe than sorry.

I asked my ?Veterinarian about this, and he said that is not a proven fact. That more evidence in Veterinary research speaks against this popular idea, and that if your dog is properly taken care of, and his health is seen to. There will not be worms to transfer.
