Rhett and Scarlett have always done really well with kids, most likely because they are constantly exposed to them with the revolving door known as my house.

I also don't allow the food possessiveness to go on in my house. With having 4 dogs and watching our little foster buddy every once in awhile, that's an absolute no no. They've all learned that if they get possessive over a toy, the toy gets taken away by me. It only took a few times for them to figure out that if they want to keep the chew toy, they'd better not growl when one of the other dogs walks by.
