This is so sad when parents don't teach kids good gentle manners around dogs, esp the little ones... The only advice i can think of is slowly exposing Zoe to a nice gentle kid (maybe family or friend's?) who knows how to treat a dog. Have them stay in one room without really interacting, after a while Zoe should stop paying too much attention to the child,then maybe have the child throw some special yummy treats? Without petting. After a while I hope Zoe would start trusting the child to let her pet her.... I don't have that problem, I hope my advice was a little help? |
