Posted a week or so ago that we were getting a labradoodle. We have a 2 yr old and just wondering if y'all had advice for letting the 2 yr old play with and handle the pup. Any dos and dont's will be greatly appreciated.

Just let them play.

And get a kennel and kennel train. When the dog is in the kennel the 2yr old needs to leave the dog alone.

This is what I'd do. The kid will learn how to handle pets and the dog will learn how to be good aroudn kids. They'll grow up best friends.

This and a big Ben wind up clock and stuff animal in the kennel for the first week. That will easy the pup into the kennel and make it feel as if it's sleeping with it's litter mates.

Kennel train, buy a kennel that they can grow into make sure it has a divider - when you first start don't give them any more room than they need to get in turn around and lay down. I wouldn't put anything in the kennel except maybe a blanket definitely nothing with stuffing in it, you don't want them to associate the kennel with play time.

Let the puppy and your 2yr old have at - my oldest son has Down syndrome and was terrified of any kind of animal, the 2 are inseparable now it is pretty amazing the bond a puppy and kid have and what it grows into.

Good luck and have fun

Every 4 hours or within 45 minutes it's going to have to take a leak. If you always take it out of the kennel and on to the grass to leak it will become accustomed to doing so and house breaking will never be an issue
