Hmmmmmmm complicated question, mine like mine...I have well trained kids and mostly well behaved dogs...
Mine like the children of a couple friends, children's friends, neighbors...who have taught their children to respect animals-there are a few children too excitable and well behaved that they prefer not to be around for no other reason than the kids are just too jumpy etc.
***Biggest rule in my house-the dog's beds are their "safety zone" do not touch, bother walk too close to even look too hard (just kidding-no touchy though) the dogs when they are on their beds-if they want attention they will come ask for it-we have beds all over the house for them, not for this but they like to change beds-but this applies to all their beds***
(mostly my daughter's preteen friends to be honest-they are just too unpredictable and loud and excitable at times-so my daughter's Yorkie will be with me when they are here not with my daughter mostly)
I take Elvis almost everywhere I can because of his medical issues; he will more than sit on my lap calmly and enjoys watching the kids sports practices-basketball, softball, sports camp etc.
Elvis is always taken with a carrier or a blanket to "get in" to "hide" if he chooses-he is not fond of little strangers or big strangers who try to come pet him so I don't let them...I tell kids "look with your eyes only please"...sometimes adults too
