I’ve noticed with many dogs (far more commonly in big dogs than miniatures though), if you stare into thier eyes with a serious expression they get nervous and sometimes lay down on the ground. Why is this?

Is it easier to have small or big dogs while raising kids?

I LOVE big dogs, but I have always had small- medium dogs because they do better running around the house and wear out easier on walks.

However, I am realizing that my theory is not accurate as some smaller dogs, like say a beagle are just have crazy energy and some bigger dogs, like Newfoundland dogs are lazy.

Am I wrong to avoid bigger dogs while I have kids due to thinking that they are higher maintence?

How do I make my dogs friendly with other dogs?

When they’re getting walked, they bark at every dog, including big dogs, they don’t know how to sniff without causing a fight. They also don’t get along with a family friend’s dog. How do I fix this?
