re: Dog just snapped at daughter

7 months old is no age to leave a dog around a kid unsupervised, you are asking for it. The dog needs to be trained not to feel threatened by people and kids, and if I was you I would seek professional help.

However, kids need to be trained also to act appropriately around animals. Leave them alone when they have food,bone, toy etc. Don’t bother them when they’re sleeping or in the kennel. There’s plenty of info online, but don’t leave them unsupervised. It’s not his fault you set him up for failure (we all make that mistake sometimes, it’s part of training).
