My dog, Copper, is a 3 year old Lab/Jack Russell mix. She lives alone with me and my husband. She is very affectionate, smart, and behaves well when she is just with adults, the problem is with children. Not all children, just our nephews, ages 1 and 2. Most of the time she's great with them, lets them look at her and pet her, but occassionally she growls at them. She's never bitten anyone and I hope to keep it that way. We are all very cautious when the kids are around the dog and we instruct them on how to treat animals so I hope in a couple more years this won't be a problem any longer. I am really hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve completely seperating the kids and Copper...any thoughts or ideas? I do plan to discuss it with our vet ASAP.
