Thank you for the advice I will call them tomorrow, I have just had a look at their site and they are exactly what I am looking for. The dog does sleep outside and because of her behaviour she comes in once the boys go bed, we also have gates into the playroom and bedrooms so there is no way she can go into their zones. I should clarify that my 5 year does need to act better around her, he is not mean but he does sometimes knock on the glass (we stop him) if she is outside and it annoys her she will hurl her body towards the glass, especially if she is eating. She will go for him if he tries to pat her, I tell him not to pat her. I never have the kids around outside if she is eating. We really don’t want to loose her but my children’s safety is obviously more important. She has been to puppy training. We live in the North Shore, we normally go to Hornsby vet.

Thanks for the reply, I live in Sydney do you have any suggestions on who I can call. I will take her to the Vet this week and talk to them about tests, I would never rehome her in a house with kids and she has never shown aggression to other kids I am assuming it's because she is jealous of my kids. I do agree if she can not be fixed I would not try to rehome her.

I would love some advice I have a 10 month old wheaten Border Collie who keeps attacking my 3 and 5 year olds, one minute she is fine and the next she attacks them unprovoked, I am not talking about mouthing I am talking about attempting to draw blood attack. They do not grab her and are not mean to her in any way. I thought it might be a dominance thing so I try and get the kids to feed her and I remove her to outside if she shows any aggression. I never leave my children alone with her and they are supervised to ensure they are treating her nicely. I have had her from 10 weeks old and is very loved and cared for, I am at the point if it does not stop I will have to re-home her, she is fine with other peoples kids and is not aggressive to adults and dogs. She goes to the dog park every day and is fine with everyone there, if anything she is too friendly. Any suggestions?
