Of course theres the kids who can handle it!

I remember one time I was walking my dog in the off-leash and observed a young family (two kids, perhaps eight and five, both boys with their parents) with their dog who was I'd say about a 85 lbs Lab of some kind.

So the dog, while barreling around plows into the eight year old and totally sends him head over heels. But rather than breakdown and cry, the kid jumps up, slaps a half-nelson on the dog, flips him on his back, grabs him by the scruff and yells "NO!"

This is exactly the right thing to do, the dog goes limp understanding now the hiearchy of the "pack", and papa looked about as proud as a papa could be.
