[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We love our sweet mini Goldendoodle, and she's pretty low key.  We have two girls, 8 and 10. The 8 year old has ADHD and does not have good boundaries with the dog.  Sometimes when the dog walks away, DD follows and doesn't take hint, throws a blanket on her to "tuck her in" etc.  she loves the dog, but the feeling is clearly not mutual.  I have recently seen the dog growl and or bear her teeth at our daughter.  What should we do?  I can't imagine that she would ever bite, but I am afraid of this continuing.  She has never growled at me or my husband.  [/quote]

Our dogs never growled at the kids so I guess we were lucky. One relative had numerous dogs and one growled at them just to indicate leave me alone. That dog never socialized with the kids but the others were fine.  Another but old dog owned by a relative was finicky and did growl.  As a child some relatives and friends had dogs which tolerated a pat and others we just didn't go near.

So if I had a family with children I really would be unhappy if my dog was a growler or didn't like children.  Call a trainer.  I have a DC with a disability and the DC and our dogs had wonderful relationships.    [/quote]
