Obviously prompted by the news today…
I've got two kids, one nearly 9, one nearly 3, and two dogs, a Jack Russell about 18 months, and a black Lab about 12 months old, so had both kids before we got either dog.
Once, and only once, the jack russell snarled and growled at the smaller child. May be that the child was doing something, but whatever the reason, the dog got the bollocking of his life from me, which worked, and neither of them have shown any aggression to anyone since (although the JR will growl at the Lab when he's asserting himself over her, never to any of us. They also bark at the door when someone comes, but never growl or snarl at visitors).
The younger child is never left alone with the dogs, maybe in the lounge while we're in the kitchen next door or something, or in the bathroom, but never further away than that. The older one sometimes takes them across to the field with her friends.
We've got another baby arriving in May. Apart from never leaving it unattended with the dogs (i.e. not even leaving the room), what else do I need to think about? Not so much from a health/cleanliness point of view, but safety wise?
