Pregnant and suddenly anxious of my bully around kids

Hi everyone,

I’m pregnant with my third and suddenly super anxious about my Bully girl (almost 2 y/o). She had a rough start (little socialization), but with training she’s come a long way.

Two things triggered my fear again:
• At 10 months she bit my son during over excited play (behaviorist said it was because she was high in arousal and lack of bite inhibition, never happened again). But I think i'm still a bit traumatized by it.
• Recently she tried to do a playful “nip” at a child who biked past us really fast (no contact, impulse reaction). She used to nip us out of happiness as well, but we managed to train that away inside.

She’s actually amazing with my own kids, and I even chose this breed because they’re known for being so tolerant with children, so it feels ironic that I’m scared now. Probably pregnancy hormones making everything 10× worse, but still. + all the scary “Bully attacks kid” stories online.

I’d love to hear positive experiences from people with Bullies ( or similar breeds) who did well with babies and toddlers. Just need some perspective until the behaviorist comes by.

Thanks ❤️
