[quote=Anonymous]We are, hopefully, maybe, fingers crossed getting a puppy in two months. We have a young 5 year old and an 8 year old. What do we need to do to prepare them? Our house? It’s been so long since we had a young dog and we’ve never had one with little kids. We have one baby gate left (separating the bedroom level from the stairs) and got rid of all the rest. We have a small house, mix of old hardwood, area rugs, and old carpet we need to replace (family room). We have a crate from our last dog. No laundry area or anywhere we plan to corral the dog, but we may use the kitchen gated if we need to. We are all at home for the foreseeable future. Any suggested books for us or kids? Videos? Puppy proofing? Dog training? We have already contacted our old vet so we know how early we need to make an appointment (it’s like a month out!!).[/quote]
