I have problems with Ruger and small children. I think it's because the kids in the neighborhood tortured him with their bicycles when he was small. He's a lot better now, especially with the kids who didn't torture him. I would let your daughter feed your pup small treats with an open hand, maybe incorporating some training, sit, stay, etc. I scold Ruger by grabbing him by the scruff of the neck and gently shaking him. I think in a short time your pup will see your daughter as the horn of plenty and not a threat. Keep us posted. |
