[quote=Anonymous]Our 4 year-old Wheaten Terrier is fine around our kids (ages 2.5 and 4 months) and generally leaves them alone by hanging out on his bed or watching aloofly from the sofa. However, when our nieces or other young kids (who aren't familiar with dogs) visit, our dog is out of control. He jumps on their backs and nips at them!! We've tried repeating the command the trainer taught us/him ("OFF") and rewarding good behavior with treats as well as keeping him on a short leash. We've tried distracting him with his fav treat (bully stick). But usually resort to putting him in his cage/house in our basement until our guests with kids leave. FWIW, with adult visitors, he's also very jumpy, but settles down in a matter of minutes. With young kids it's just a totally different dog. Any suggestions for other behavioral modifications to try? We'd love to include him in our family parties. [/quote]
