I went through this many times. I would always put my dogs in my room or my bathroom that is very big. These two kids that would visit with their parents always wanted to get the dogs. I would say NO and explain that they were too small. These kids were wild little things and the mom was no help! I used to have to LOCK the bathroom with a key and I would always catch them trying to jiggle the doorknob. One day I had my smallest yorkie in a popup tent, it was clipped closed with two safety pins on the zipper. The kid was so frustrated that he flipped the tent over and over.
But I NEVER hit or touched those kids. But I slowly stopped those visits for good. I understand how you feel but grabbing another child by the ear is something that most people will not do because it is not their child and I feel the same way.As bad as they were I just kept them seperated and did not enjoy the visit because the whole time I was watching out for my yorkie.
