[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  This is interesting.  Other than this, dog is not aggressive.  It's a small dog and it hadn't occurred to me that dog is not ok with kids.  Clearly, a bite from a small dog is no good, but I hadn't thought that was a possibility.  Dog is totally find around everyone else and fine around husband during the day.  It's just when husband comes home from work at night (often/usually the rest of the house is asleep by then and husband is trying to do the last walk of the night).[/quote]

Perhaps your husband carries in a smell your dog doesn't like. Does his workplace allow pets, or does his coworkers have animals at home? My dog does a sniff inspection on all of us when we come in to find out where we've been and who we've been with :-) He gets particularly interested after we come home from the weekly violin lesson, because DD's teacher has 3 cats.

Or perhaps the dog just doesn't like to be disturbed at night. Does he react the same way if YOU walk him at night?[/quote]

+1. Perhaps the scent is confusing him and making him anxious or on guard, since it's night and he's trying to protect you and the kids.[/quote]
