Really never wanted to even look into this.
I would firstly like some advice on how to integrate him better with the children 3 years and 1 year. Â The eldest never used to be bothered by him but is now deathly afraid of him for some reason. But only when close up. If he's on the other side of the kitchen door with glass windows. But as soon as he comes in the living room she' cries and wants up and won' go down till hes' out of the room.
Iv'e tried getting her to interact more by giving treats but they just get chucked at him and she runs away when he gets too close. The youngest is pretty much the same. I'e tried holding her and taking her over to stroke him but she starts shaking and crying. I've tried walks with the oldest but she won't go let me put her down until the walks over and she can't see him.
It' at the point now where he's in the kitchen and the rest of us are in the living room unless I go in and spend time with him.
If anybody has any suggestions with tips on better interaction with young children that would be great.
I've had him 8 years now from pup and really don't want to give him up but it' Â not fair on him not being part of the family when all he wants is to cuddle up with everyone.
If the dog is in the room with the kids and the dog is calm just ignore the kids protestations
rub her nose in it
All dogs or just yours? 3 year olds can be very manipulative (I have one) especially as you've also got a one year old. Could be just attention seeking on the pickup although shaking sounds a bit more serious.  Has she been somewhere else with other toddlers and one of them had an issue so it's learned behaviour?
I think rehoming is the best option. Siblings can be difficult to place together when fostering but you might get lucky.
