Gracie has always ran away and been scared of a little girl i babysit but i thought she just didnt like her but she doesnt like any kids! not the ones at the camp or the ones tonight trick or treating! They all wanted to pet her and she was trying to get away! Why is she like this ... anyone else have this problem??? Help!

My Daisy is like that with children too, she is great around mine but around ones she doesn't know she runs. Bear is a big love bug with everyone, he loves kids.

My dogs both love children (and grownups too).

Your one little dog may just be shy - Sometimes we forget that dogs have different personalities and temperments and expect them to all be the same ---- but they aren't!

Louie is not shy around strangers. Once someone pets him they are his new best friend, but he hides from kids. It's the strangest thing.
Is Gracie scared of strangers or just kids?

Little Bit loves everyone. My husband always says if she ever gets out she's gone. She'd go off with an ax murderer. Is the little girl you babysit rough with her? If she has had a bad experience with one child she may think they are all like that. My grandchildren are rowdy and Little Bit just joins right in with them. In fact my 2 yr old granddaughter is terrified of her because Little Bit tries so hard to play with her. If she is going to be exposed to children at some time, I would try to find one very nice gentle child and just let her sit on the floor and offer her treats or whatever to try to get her socialized to the children. Good luck

She is just like that with kids strangers would pet her and then when a kid would try she d try an run!

No since i have Gracie the girl i babysit has only come about 3 times since the 1st time shes ran away and that was the first time i noticed! She barks and runs

Rocky is kinda shy around kids too. He'll let a kid pet him, but he doesn't get excited with kids the way he does with adults.

vainchick5 · 11-01-2006, 02:06 PM

Sometimes these babies are afraid because kids have so much energy. I would have a child you know well, give her some treats and play with her to get her comfortable. Within a few weeks I bet you'll see a drastic change. She just has to like 1-2 kids to start becoming less skiddish.

chachi · 11-01-2006, 02:11 PM

Jewels doesnt like kids either and I have a 6 year old so you would think she would be used to them. She used to hide when My Daughter had friends over. She doesnt do that now but she really doesnt like kids to pick her up

GracieLou · 11-01-2006, 04:35 PM

Gracie actually layed on the little girl i babysits lap! i couldnt believe it! i tol her to play soft with her lol and to let her smell her to know she is okay and gracie went sleep on her! What a difference

Adonis is very skiddish around children. I suppose thats mostly because I don't have children, and he isn't around them often.

I don't care for him to be around children after I saw him nipping at my great nephews diaper!

So for my dogs sake, as well as the childrens sake, no kids around my baby!

Teddy acts really weird around kids also, He runs away, lays down on his back so they can scratch his belly and then jumps so i can pick him up. I think they are just too hyper sometimes (kids)
