hi there
I had the same issue with Bridget, she would growl and attempt to bte my kids when they got to close to her. What we did was work on positve reinforcment such as I would have them get close to her and try to pet her, I would stand right there and talk to her, praising her and letting her know she was being a good girl. I told her it was ok they would be soft and if she growled I told her no, and repeted the process it took a couple of days but it seems to have worked. We tell her she is a good girl and we just want to love her and I stay there while my kids touch her at all times. I hope this helps
