[quote=Anonymous]* Put training the dog before "training" your kids to take care of it. Every single second of investment you make in training the dog will pay off. You really want a well-behaved dog, precisely because you really don't want a dog at all. * Not sure of the size dog you want, but your kids aren't really big enough to train or even walk an exuberant and reasonably large puppy. Don't expect more than they can do and expect some disappointment (by the kids) when the dog turns out to be more complicated than simply a toy. * Remember that your kids have NO EXPERIENCE PARENTING AND YOU DIDN'T BECOME AN EXPERT OVERNIGHT. (In other words, your kids won't be effective at training or even caring for this dog until all three are older and calmer). I really didn't want a dog. I gave in after 12 years. [/quote]
