My dogs grew up with children and I would never tolerate any adverse behaviour with food. MIL had a dog that would snarl and snap as soon as its food was put down.
I used to take my dog's food away shortly after putting it down, as advised by Barbara Woodhouse (now much despised), but I'd replace it shortly, so they knew they weren't losing it.
This resulted in my children happily interacting with the dogs, without any threat. I could feed them a bonio with my finger hidden under it and they'd never harm me as soon as they felt my finger.
Local butcher would turn up with a bone that they'd disappear with down the garden for an hour or so. I'd hear the shards in the mower.
