My instincts tell me Mia had more than she wanted to take. I felt as if she was giving warning signals to this toddler. I have seen her do this with younger dogs. My fear is that this will continue with other kids. It really bothers me.
We really don't have many young children in our lives. I am a bit protective with her and young kids, I was distracted cooking dinner. I should of put her in a crate for a nap. I feel bad and responsible. I will avoid this in the future. |
Don't lose the trust in her yet. Like your friend said she may have been cornered and therefore gave a warning.In my opinion you should get the toddler with Mia and let the little girl show she meant no harm.
Just because this happened once it doesn't mean she is going to be a child killer lol
Give Mia the trust and watch closely, but remember dogs feel your tension ,so hard as it may be at first , try to relax.Thats just my opinion.
