Japanese Chins were historically bred as royal companions and consequently expect to receive considerable affection and attention from their human families. Overindulgence and lack of proper boundaries can cause these dogs to develop behaviors as if they rule the household, creating problematic dynamics with children. They are particularly known for displaying jealous behaviors around children, especially when they perceive that children are receiving attention that should rightfully belong to them. This jealousy can manifest as attention-seeking behaviors, resource guarding, or even aggressive responses when children interact with their preferred humans. Their delicate size also makes them vulnerable to injury from normal childhood play activities.
