[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks -- I do agree that we need to think about things more, but there's no feasible way for us to constantly be in between the dog and kid all of the time. Seriously -- they both live in this house, and the dog can't be outside all the time we're inside. I was 5 feet away from the dog and toddler when it happened. [/quote] I think then that you need to rehome the dog now. First of all, it's not fair to the dog to put up with the physical abuse you describe, and it's not an acceptable risk to take with your toddler. I have a child in our family who came very close to dying because of a family pet who everyone thought was safe. Are you sure you can't come up with strategies for more separation? Get a trainer to teach the dog to stay out the kitchen or playroom or whatever space you use a lot? Babygates? Doggie daycare? [/quote]
