I know how upsetting it is when your dog snaps at a child. Even if it was the child's fault people usually think the dog was in the wrong. I would try the advice given and if you know some calmer children take her around them and see how she reacts. I've only had my Yorkie for a week but I'm trying to take her places where she'll get socialized more than my last dog (walks at the park & around our neighborhood, PetSmart, etc.). My last dog became aggressive (after a neighbor boy tormented her through our fence) and I know part of that was my fault because she wasn't totally trained and she wasn't socialized very much outside of our family and friends.

Good luck and let us know how she does the next time she's around kids.
