Dogs and Children - Preventing Playtime Confusion | mysmartpuppy.com:
"We adults often play with a dog by kneeling down, making excited noises like "Hey, pup! What do I have?" while dragging a toy in front of him. The dog pounces on the toy. "Whee!" and the game begins. Enter a toddler. She kneels on the floor making exciting noises as she moves the toy back and forth in front of her. The dog thinks "Playtime!" and pounces on her hand. Toddler screams. Dog, thinking the game has begun, gets more excited. Parents intervene: "Bad dog!"
The dog is utterly confused."
