[quote=Anonymous]it will be fine, OP. do exercise general good caution. have the toddler sitting down calmly when dog arrives and coach the toddler on giving dog treats and pets. never ever leave dog and kids alone together. for at least the first few weeks, have dog on a leash or otherwise contained and have lots of small training treats on hand whenever kids are around. give the dog lots of positive reinforcement for calm behavior, for tolerating kid behavior, and for anything else you want to reinforce. and teach the toddler about gentle hands all the time. work with a trainer on basic canine good citizen stuff if you're not pretty experienced yourself. make at least one or two rooms off limits for the dog. (I always made the kids rooms off limits.) and teach the kids that dog food and crate are offlimits for them.[/quote]
