[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dog needs a spot that is his where no one bothers it.

Also the dog needs to see your kids as superiors.  Is the dog allowed on furniture? Don't let it.  Do your kids feed the dog?  Do they do commands (sit, lie) with the dog?  The dog needs to see they are above him in the pecking order, but also your kids need to limit interactions for now to those type of interactions where they are in charge, not playing.

If you have the slightest inclination to rehome the dog, I would do it now while it will be easily adopted.  If not, start crate training (if you haven't) and make sure the dog is crated if anyone is at your house so there isn't a repeat incident while you work through this.

Your dog is still a puppy but they go through a "teenage" phase and then chill out a bit.  I personally wouldn't rehome the dog because of this one incident but I would very seriously work on fixing it.  Best of luck.[/quote]
