4 yr old Boston has starting biting

I have a boston I had before I got married. My husband has three kids already. He has always been great with the kids and we have been married for two years now. I'm 5 months pregnant and he has bit all three kids in the last week what is wrong? What do I need to do?

Biting

We only had one of our Bostons snap at anyone and that was a small child who was reaching in her whelping box. It was still quite concerning so I understand your worry.

It is possible that the kids need to change how they approach the puppy. Since it was your dog before you got married I assume you are the one that feeds her. Perhaps she is trying to tell the kids that she is first in line in the pecking order. You are the one that needs to tell her that is not the case. Cesar Milan has some very good suggestions on his website so you might want to try looking at that. At any rate, your Boston needs to re-discover her place in the "pack" and that just has to be LAST. That does not mean that you do not love her, it just means that everyone else comes first and THEN her. Be firm!
