The puppy is new to your house and a bit shy. Don't introduce on excited child to o puppy. Teoch your kids about the concept of "calm play". Teach children how to greet a dog properly. When the puppy first arrives, make sure the children limit their engogement with it for the first few days, and that they always play calm. Don’t ever let a child tease a puppy.

Children coming on too strong to a timid or insecure puppy can intimidate him, and such affronts, if repeated, can create a dog that is either too shy or fearful or, worse, fearfully aggressive. This can lead to a bite, and the tendency is to blame the puppy for being aggressive. On the other hand, an outgoing, active puppy may tempt children to play too vigorously, raising the puppy’s level of excitement to an intensity that may be hard to temper as he grows bigger and bigger.
