My name is Koda!

Koda is a handsome mixed dog that will be 3 years old soon. He is house trained and crate trained. He does well with adults. We have kids at home. Koda is very protective of the kids but he doesn't always seem at ease with our smallest child(5yo). When we have left him with grown-ups when we go out of town they have great experiences with taking him out and his interactions with other dogs have been positive. However, when the kids are around, he can be a bit more aggressive with other people and dogs. He has challenged my husband on one occasion, approximately 1.5yrs ago, which was immediately corrected. Also, he recently tried biting one of our younger cousins (14 yo). He has been fine with this cousin before. We belive it was because she entered our house and went to hug our oldest daughter. However, we are not certain this was the reason. We love Koda with all of our hearts but feel that he needs an adult only family where he doesn't need to feel the need to be so protective.
