No doubt there are exceptions, but in the overwhelming majority of cases, dogs can be trained to adjust. Remember, human FAMILIES with children of all ages have been living with pet dogs for thousands of years all over the planet. It's a normal condition of human existence. If dogs were as prone to maim the little kids as some of you seem to feel, then we as humans would never have established such a close relationship with these animals.
Certain dog breeds are to be excepted, I believe, such as the dogs bred for fighting. My brother has a fairly large Pit Bull, and she's a sweet dog. However, around my dogs, she is an unrelenting bully, and I don't trust her. So, I would never trust a dog like her around a child. Never.
Most other dogs - yes.
