I've been keeping an eye on articles that teach me how to manage having dogs and children at the same time. With our baby due in August, I'm trying to figure out my "game plan" to keep everyone happy and well adjusted. I know the basics rules - never leave them unattended, dogs are still animals, etc.
Yesterday, I came across this training article that seemed to make a LOT of sense to me. It talks about how we shouldn't "magnitize" our babies to dogs to keep both the baby and the dog safe. However, being a golden owner, I've definitely had dreams of watching baby and my girls cuddling. It seems sad that if I follow the advice of this article, that I shouldn't let that happen for a few years.
I'd love to hear some of your feedback on this article, or your experience raising goldens with babies and toddlers. How realistic is this?? Thanks!
