I'm sorry to hear she has a leg injury and I can imagine it is difficult having to limit her activity and keep her entertained.
How old are your kids? If your dog didn't have exposure to kids in her first year, that might be part of the problem. My dogs don't have much experience with kids and they are terrified of them. Children move quickly, play differently, and speak differently and this can be very scary to a little dog.
Max recently showed extreme fear of a group of a young teens who got off a bus and wanted to pet him. He never acts this way around adults. Younger children are even scarier to him.
