Maybe you guys can help me with a dilemma. In struggling trying to figure out what to do about my first baby Prince. Even thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. But I feel like he's not getting any attention and he's not very good with small children. They move to fast and that frightens him and makes him strike out so I've been hesitant to let him around the boys. It's not fair to keep him gated off all of the time when that's not how it was before. And let's face it, my time for him has been really limited with him the last 5 months because I've had my hands full. I don't want to let him go but I feel like I should to be fair to him. It would absolutely break my heart but it's already breaking my heart that he's not getting any love and attention. I feel so torn

Chim, is he snapping at them or just a growl? My son's lab growls at the babies but does not snap. When they are little this is the just the vocal way he behaves. Now that the kids are older, he does play with them. It was just his way of saying "leave me alone." He would growl and move out of their area.Maybe you guys can help me with a dilemma.

Snapping at them is a whole different ball game. Have you thought of a trainer? I know it takes time but... Otherwise...

Thankfully he hasn't done either but he hasn't been around them much. I usually make sure they're in the playpen when he's out. He's growled at my nephew before because he was jumping up and down. I feel like he might've snapped if he moved any closer but I grabbed him
I have thought of a trainer. I'll have to look into it before I make any moves.
Thanks Robin
I really appreciate the advice. I did purchase a muzzle guess I need to give that a try as well and see what happens if he's out a lil more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My son's oldest is now 5 and his youngest (at least for another few weeks LOL) is just over 2. The 2 yr old still gets the growl occasionally. The 5 year old is now buds with Rocco. The baby will get the growl any time anyone will bring the baby close or if he walks by it. He is such a baby (the dog). This is just Rocco's way. He will not snap at them though or show teeth. It's just a low rumble sound he makes.
That's great! That's how Kookie is. I think she's just amazed at the tiny lil things. But Prince has always been a whole other story. I've known for a while that this would be an issue if I ever did have kids. I think it's just all of the energy from them that he's not used to. Before it was just he & I so life for him was just calm and mellow. I really hope he can adjust.

Hello Chim girl
Sorry to hear about Prince, sounds fairly normal for a small dog like him.
I have no idea what you should do with him or about the situation.
You have to admit he's been hit with quite a few changes in the last year

Hey MD
Yes he has. Between the move, him having another dog in the house and the addition of 2 new lil people he's had quite a few changes. Along with my selfishness of not wanting to give him away that's also why I hate to give him away to anyone else. I think I'm just going to try a couple of things and see how it all goes from there.
How have you been?
