[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had twins and a small dog who loved only us. He didn't worry too much about them when they were babies. They didn't do anything to bother him. When they started moving, we kept the areas where the kids were gated off from the dog areas for several years.

Wasn't easy, but we knew we couldn't trust him 100% with the kids and realistically we couldn't trust the kids not to hurt him too. 
When they were around 4, he realized that they were higher on the pack order that he was and stopped bothering them.

A few years later when he developed heart failure, we would often find him snuggled next to one of the kids for comfort. I think they made him comfortable during his last years.

Had your dog bitten before?

I’m guessing you stayed home or had local family to help because that sounds like a whole pain in the ass for working parents[/quote]

Only when he was a puppy.
We worked and during the day, the dog went to doggy daycare (to get some energy out) as the kids went to day care. It was a pain but we were willing to do it as we suspected as the kids got older he would back off (he did the same with one of our nieces before the twins were born.)
