Becky is now 8.5 months and almost 25 kg. She LOVES children, she nuzzles them and licks them affectionately. Sadly, most kids are afraid of dogs her size, so they turn away or scream in fear, which makes her even more eager to get close. She often knocks small children down, making them cry, sometimes causing the parents to scream in panic as well. We like to walk Becky off-leash because she's very good at it, never wanders away too far and always looks back to check on us from time to time.. unless she sees a child. She would then lunge towards the kid, and at this point she won't listen to us calling her name, saying "come" or whistling her to come back. It seems like whenever we walk her on the beach without the leash on, we leave a trail of wailing children behind. What's the psychology behind her attraction towards children, and is there a way to correct her behaviour with children?
