No real suggestions for the dashund, maybe disengaging? No eye contact? I've gotten so that my neighbor's dog pays me no mind, they pay my landlady mind, but not me. I'm better with cats and establishing with a kitten my preference for sitting nicely not play unless I initiate.

For kids, I do have my own, but have gentle persuasion in my toolbox for other kids. Distraction if sharing is a concern is one way. Distraction can also work with tantrums or meltdowns. They could be struggling with a multitude of issues, tired, hungry, overwhelmed, etc. The distraction coupled with a sense of one on one attention might be the solution. With eye contact.
