| When Kids attack!!! Today my daughter and I decided to take Millie to the park and try walking her around the walking track. When i saw this little girl and I knew she was coming straight for us. i picked millie up in my arms, the little girl who was probably 6 or 7 was litterally tryying to pull millie out of my arms, while I am saying " No honey she doesn't like that" I finally was so nervous and frustrated we left quickly. Does this ever happen to any of you when you are out, and what do you do? |

| yup, happened to me and I did the same thing, plus locate her parents and give them a MAJOR stink eye for failing to control their kid. |

| I always tell children, they should not touch dogs they do not know. Keep in mind Corky will just Stop, drop and roll on his back to get a tummy rub. (eye roll). Crazy dog... |

| Exactly, and if one of our dogs bit one of these crazy kids it would be our fault!! I actually have two small children a 10 and 4 year old. i taught my kids from very early you NEVER put your hand out to pet a dog unless you ask first!! |

| Before I knew it was going to happen, one time a little girl just suddenly walked up to Kacee and hugged her. Kacee doesn't bite, but she did snap a warning. It was a quiet warning, but kids don't realize that they are strangers to these little dogs and they don't like these sudden movements. Thank goodness Kacee didn't bite her!

| Good job for handling this really well. I've had a little boy run up to Gizmo, grab the leash in my hands and start shaking it violently back and forth. Kids are worse behaved than dogs many times.

| You did the right thing. Teddy doesn't like other people because both kids and adults would charge at him and try to scoop him up when he was younger. I can't blame him for being scared. A couple of little gradeschoolers threw water at my boys once and my doggies looked at me with the saddest faces as if they were saying, "Why did they do that?"

| Ralph it's really picky who he likes. He can sense if I don't like someone, which amazes me, but I kinda love that haha! But I do the same thing, any time I see a kid coming I scoop Ralph up. |

| I always tell kids they bite so that they won't try to pick them up. Couver unfortunately will bite... So I always make sure to keep an eye out when we are out and see kids.

| I should point out that most of our experiences with kids older than tiny toddlers have been good. I tell them to stand as still as possible and allow Max to approach them and then they can pet him on the ground. They are usually clumsy and want to rub the top of head, but thankfully Max is tolerant.
