I just need some advice.. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and our dog is nearly 11.
He's been brilliant up until now with both kids but our little boy is going through a very tricky phase of hitting: biting and generally being a bit unruly.
He has started to hit and generally not leave our dog alone which is resulted in our dog growling and generally getting very aggressive.. I've started to separate the pair of them but my dog is slowly starting to get aggressive with me.. when all is well they play together (under my supervision) and our dog showers him with affection but when things go sour and I go to separate that's when our dog is started to growl and snarl at me.
I can see from his point of view I'm shutting him away when he's not the one in the wrong and he was here before the children but this sort of behaviour is very worrying.. I'm starting to stress that our family dog who we all love may not be able to stay with us for much longer if this behaviour continues. He's perfectly fine with our 5 year old who was always very good around him it's just now this situation has arisen.. help!!!
