That's really only a step away from walking into a school with an AR-15 and shooting people.

Sad to read this. You need to say something even if it's cause issues. Be better then them.

Yep. This dog will bite someone some day and it will not be the dog's fault. Hopefully one of those kids are the ones bitten. And I'm not a big animal lover.

I would see that as a very bad sign.

Wow, big no for me. Even if the dog doesn’t appear to mind, they should still be corrected and stopped.

Not normal. Did the kids seem off to you in other ways, like angry? Did the parent's see this going on?

No. Not at the dog but to the dog or away from the dog for the dog to chase.

We visited our in laws this weekend. Their kids, ages 7-14 kept throwing balls and sticks at their dog. not hard, the dog didn't seem to mind, but it still bugged me. I don't have kids yet, but is this typical behavior?
