In my defense, I would NEVER allow my kids to bully the dog. They TEASE like they tease a sibling. Playing keep away with him, or tug of war. It was playing, not bullying. I'm sorry, but I turned to here for some suggestions, not judgment. I am new at this little dog stuff, and thought I could find some suggestions here. Notice, I did NOT say, who wants my dog, he bit my kids. I said HELP. They are NOT terrorizing him, and I have made very firm and clear rules from this point forward that they are not allowed to play roughly with him any more. I myself am guilty of playing roughly with him, playing tug of war, etc. But we don't anymore. I didn't realize how wrong a message it is sending to the dog. But I do now. Thanks for all your advice.
