Love My 3 Yorkies hates kids too!

My 3 Yorkies hate Kids too but they tolerate them b/c you can Train a Dog to do anything and b/c I won't tolerate it? Yeah they used to be afraid of
Thunder Storms & Fireworks too, but I Trained them NOT to be.
They have been in many situations where they felt uncomfortable and were
not Happy but they had to adjust and tolerate them b/c they were posing for a picture or they had asked permission to pet them? I trust all 3 of them NOT to bite anyone under any circumstances for any reasons and Yes, the majority of the time I know they don't really want to be around them but I make them do it b/c I don't want mine to have any issues or promblems w/Children or People in general or even other Animals. I have had so many Friends that have had a Dog and then later decided to have a Child, and then ended up getting rid of their Dog b/c they did'nt take the time to "Train" it.
I would not live my Life around my Yorkies, meaning having a Baby has nothing to do with whether or not your Yorkie likes them?
If you have a well Trained/Socialized, balanced, submissive, well behaved Dog they can do anything! There are no excuse for "Agression", fear, nervousness, anxiety, are all un-desirable traits. A dog that bites for any reason should not be tolerated IMO. How did you respond, what was your reaction? Most of the time we don't realize that we make matters worse by
trying to comfort their fears w/affection and ultimately end up enforcing the bad behaviour? What have you done to make them feel more confident around
them? Just wondering?
