Funny you should bring that up, I know a family who just gave away a Corgi for the SAME behavior. They brought the dog home and he attempted to herd their 2 toddlers. They were furious and pretty much caged him up whenever the kids were around and eventually just gave him away to an older couple with more land and no kids to herd.
This is the reason I think that people need to do A LOT of thinking and research about what is the best breed for their family and lifestyle. It would save alot of headaches if people would really think about their choice of dog, rather than choosing the breed because it is "cute."
