She is almost 2, a rescue of unknown background. We have 2 dc, 14 and 11 who She loves and plays with and they know to respect her boundaries. She is quite fearful is various situations but atm we are visiting family (staying away from home) and there is a 2yo relative who she's never met -lovely little kid, typically noisy and unpredictable (from dogs pov!) Our dog became obviously uncomfortable around her (we were in quite an enclosed space) and barked in a scared way. I took her out of the room and kept them apart the rest of the time. We don't know any toddlers at home to try and acclimatise her to them, do we just keep her away from toddlers/small kids now? I've always instinctively been more alert if we've passed little kids on walks etc as I don't think she knows what to make of them. Does anyone else have a dog like this?
