Looking for tips and/or advice here really, my mother has a jack russell dog who for some reason is scared of my 5yr old dd,she has never done anything to this dog to make him feel this way ,when we go to my mums house which is probably once every couple of months dd makes a beeline for this dog and tries to pet him and play with him,he backs away and will sometimes growl at her.
I repeatedly have to move dd away from this dog and tell her to leave him alone,she is not listening to me despite me giving her quite stern tellings off about this,i dont really want to tell my mum to remove the dog when we visit as i don't think she would take too kindly to this,its also not really an option to not go round there either.
After a particulairly stressful visit today i have told dd in no uncertain terms that if she doesnt leave this dog alone he will bite her,i have a good mind to also show her pictures of children who have been bitten by dogs as i really think this is what will happen if she doesnt do as she is told,aibu?
