This is excellent advise. Everyone in the household needs to be on the same page when it comes to training. Otherwise, you'll have a confused dog.
I think it's best for Bentley to be kept away from the little kids. As you've said, they just don't understand, and Bentley is the same way and just doesn't understand that's not safe play. Or he's annoyed by the little kids which also happens a lot. It's best to keep him away for now, and once your cousins are older and understand more, you can bring Bentley out to play.
