I make sure I keep Clogs well away from small kids as she doesn't like them in the least. Certainly under five year olds make her very nervous. Especially the screamers and the grabbers. Older kids who know how to approach a dog are OK with her and she'll smooch them happilly, but small ones...uh uh.
In fact, if we're going to be anywhere that I know small kids will be, I muzzle her - more for her protection than the kids. Even a small, non-contact leave-me-alone snap is regarded here as a "threat" by the ever-vigilant authorities.
The parents in these cases are generally the ones who need remonstrating with, as often they don't teach their kids when and how to approach a strange dog.
