i have a staffy lab x mix and he is just the opposite with kids, when one comes his way he hides behind me, but there is this one kid on our street in which he growls at, i later found out that this kid had once squirted him in the face with a water gun, i would growl at him also, so maybe your dog just has an uneasy feeling about this child

It wasnt just one child, it has been 4 diff children. I know that these children have done nothing to her.

I'd definitely get to a dog handler or dog trainer or someone who can either train your dog or decide if it's an inherent trait.

you may end up just keeping the dog away from kids altogether.

my dog also snaps at a kid, but that is just because the kid squited him in the face with a squirt gun one day. maybe your dog just doesn't like the kid, my dog is good with other kids just not that one, check it out

Well, there has definitely got to be a reason for it, so I would agree with everyone else and say, get a trainer or behaviourist in.

What may seem confusing to you, may be as clear as day to them. But the problem does need addressing.

I saw the photo of your dog. She's pretty cute and she looks so sweet to be barking at kids! I'm just wondering aloud here -- could scent trigger her behavior towards the kids? Or past experience from a previous owner, maybe?

[PugLuv]

ooh, good point - did you get her from a dog pound or dog shelter where she might have had bad experiences before coming to you?

[jacksonflugie]

maybe your dog just doesn't like the kid, my dog did that to one child and come to find out the kid have previously squirted him in the face with a squirt gun, he is good with all other kids, but when this kid comes around he growls and actually hides from him, mayber it is not your dog, but it is that he gets a bad vibe from the kid

Like someone has mentioned already - get a muzzle. Even though your dog doesn't bite children, you just never know! When my yorkshire boy started growling & snapping at people, I immediately bouht a muzzle and put it on his mouth whenever he did it again. But make sure you don't put it on too tightly - it could hurt their cute tiny mouths. Also, don't put it on for too long! If you are not around the dog, don't leave him with the muzzle on his face.

Days ago the images of a beating were seen by television a dog in a small town of Galicia, in the north of Spain.
This man had to pay 6000 euros of indemnification by this action but now he returns to have 2 dogs but.
Many of their neighbors support to him because they do not consider crime to mistreat an animal. The dog ate two hens.

The dog died few days later due to the beating of this man.

I leave to a pair of links and the videos them of the beating in case you would can to spread them.

In addition the connection to a collection of companies in favor of the animals…

Thank you very much!
