[quote=Anonymous]Is your daughter kind of hyper and always moving around? I notice my dog, a cockapoo, is ... weary and unsettled by young children because they move so around physically so much. She doesn't growl, but it's clear she's just tolerating them so I always make the interactions short and then praise her for putting up with it. Please STOP petting your dog after s/he growls at your kids - that re-enforces to the dog that it's okay to growl. Dogs always give warning signs. Look at where your dog's ears are when the kids come close vs when you come close. Maybe the dog was poked in the eye by a kid and is head shy. I say tell your DD to stay away for now, and take your dog to a trainer. If you can't find a good one ask your vet for a rec. Teach your DD to be very calm around the dog - don't flail your arms about, etc. [/quote]
