hwo old was the dog you rescued? and was it done in aggresion or play? toby is really "mouthy" because he is teething (he is five months).... if it was done in aggression i think you should approach it from the dogs standpoint, she was in a horrible situation and she doesnt trust anyone yet..... as far as children go, i would probably limit their interaction or when they start playing with her give her a treat so they associate the kids with "good things".. i am very wary of kids around my baby, but i have a rough and tumble little boy, and he seems to LOVE the interaction because he can finally have something to intimidate (most kids run away from him at first because he is a little too playful)..... most important thing is to take it slow |
