APBT's seem really protective of kids. When Odie was 6 mos we took him to a friends out of state and there were 1yr,and a 2yr old and the 1 yr old kept wanting to go down stairs Odie actually blocked him going near the stairs when the gate was being opened.

That's wonderful that she didn't react negatively.

However, I'm in Daycare and I teach kids to respect animals, and that includes not laying/hopping on them, not pulling their ears/tail/fur or putting their faces in the animals face and not bothering them when they're eating.

And that is exactly how it should be in every elementary classroom in the US!!

The government want us to teach a million different controversial subjects but not one government official has suggested an animal safety awareness class.
Personally I think it should be required reading before a new parent leaves the hospital with a child as well. Ok Ok, that was my rant. lol.

I took everyones advice about how they trained their dogs around kids and man did Irie pass with flying colors! My friend's toddler came over today and I only let Irie come out because Tonka is just too excitable. I put her on a pinch collar with a lead and had my friend's little girl feed Irie cookies. I was SO proud of how well Irie did. She never once was too excitable and even let the one year old climb on her, grab her nose, pull her tail, take toys from her,etc. Obviously I was never anywhere but right in between them in case something happened. Irie even let her take the lead and WALK HER AROUND IN CIRCLES!
