| I've had the problem with a friend. he's TERRIFIED of ANY big dog, so imagine....an intact male rott who's done ringsport!
One day I inveited him over and he showed up with his 1 year old baby boy. I put MY baby (rottie) into a down stay in the kitchen, door open and we had drinks outside; After about 1/2 hr he came to see the dog with his son...He was so impressed by my dog's obediance that he stop being afraid, knowing that I had control. Also, my dog loves little kids (and bigger ones, too!)
I never try to force my dog on anyone. They gradually see that he's not evil:( (some peopme do think that unfortunately).
Good luck with the training. Two dogs will be a handful. I'd do one dog at a time, giving each prime quality time with you, spouse, and training.
Welcome,
Leader
