[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OPs kids are 1 and 3 years old. Hard to tell a little preschooler not to do something unless you are watching very closely. What a relaxing visit ![/quote]

Wow, how do you all parent all day?

There are a million dangers a 1 and 3 year old could be getting into in a strange house, dog aside. Gates and crates are a good and perfectly tenable option, even just to keep everyone to limited areas of the house.

While I have issues with a dog that is scratching or biting a child, the fact that OP does not know which means her child was not supervised around an unfamiliar dog, and that is her fail, not the dog’s. While the dog owner also has a responsibility, they may not recognize that all dogs have the ability to become aggressive if provoked. An older dog would certainly growl and nip at a puppy that was misbehaving, but a puppy has a layer of fur that a child does not.

I really think this has less to do with the dog than it does that OP feels she doesn’t have lordship over her sibling, parents, the house she’s paying the mortgage for. [/quote]
