It is usually because toddlers do not move like adults. Dogs are usually
confused and the quick jerky and off balance movements of a toddler can be
misinterpreted by the dog as aggressive. Toddlers are more likely to be bitten
by
a dog than any other age bracket. NEVER leave toddlers alone with a dog. It
is a good idea for folks raising a puppy to seek out and teach pups that the
jerky movements of a toddler are non threatening... and to teach the toddler
to play nice with the dog.
