She’s an 11 month old terrier. She’s fine with and children we see on walks, no reaction at all. Our street has a lot of kids that play out. I take her for a walk to the green before bed each evening. If I don’t take her she messes during the night. They’re nice kids but they’re loud-often dancing about, on bikes and scooters, screeching or singing. She’s just not sure about them, she’ll bark at them, often hesitate at our gate. If they’re standing quietly she’ll go up for a stroke but they’re not usually.
I don’t know if I need to address this, try and help her to be more comfortable as we pass them but I don’t know how or if it’s ok to just accept that she’s unsure of them.
I speak up for her, I say to give her some space but I don’t know them well enough to ask anything more of them (eg offer her a treat or something).
