My dogs don't like kids much but they are not little psychos about it. They stay FAR away when kids comes over. When kids try to pick them up, they run away and hide behind me. But if a kid does get them they will tolerate being held. My boyfriend (whom I now live with) has 2 boys, ages 14 & 16 and the dogs very RARELY voluntarily go near them! I don't know what to do with making that better. I keep hoping it happens in time too, but its been almost 3 years!
