this is a very difficult situation. the dog reacts to the child as a minor. he does not recognise the child as a leader in the pak. a child wil be recognised as a leader aproxematly at the age of 14. dogs and children should never be left alone together. a dog has to learn how to behave with a child but a child should be tought how to behave with a dog. a dog has only his body language and his voice and his mouth to communicate with. an adult can rarely read his language, a child cannot. its adviseble to get into contact with someone hoe knows about the behavior of dogs. the can advise how to lead your dog into goed behavoir and how to let the child interact with the dog. success!
