They often will take a child's rougher play with little to no reaction, and simply enjoy the attention they get. One of the beauties of the Sheepadoodle's calm demeanor is they get along great with children and are very gentle with them. Because Sheepadoodles have such a strong desire to please their people and receive positive affirmation, they should quickly learn that this behavior is discouraged if they do have this tendency, and with training they should quit the behavior out of their desire to make you happy. The dog will gently nip at the child's clothes or hips, like a herding dog would do to encourage a sheep to return to the fold. Often it is just a herding tendency, and most often would happen when a child is running away from a group. To better understand what a "nip" is, know that they aren't biting hard or to be aggressive or mean. Parents with young children should understand this propensity so they and their children can know what the puppy is doing and respond in a way to discourage the behavior. This is most common while they are still a puppy (under age 2), and is a trait that can be removed through proper training and reinforcement. Some Sheepadoodles can pick up this tendency.
