<human>: What kind of dog is best for my children?
<bot>: The best type of dog for your children depends on their age, activity level, and temperament. A well-trained, low-energy breed like a poodle or terrier may be ideal for young children who need help with socialization and obedience training. An adult-sized dog that's more independent and playful could make a good companion for older kids who are ready to take on some responsibility. Consider the size and energy level of any dog you're considering before making a decision.
