This is terrible advice. The dog needs to learn in no uncertain terms that he is not on equal footing with the toddler and not entitled to play with the toddler's toys. Getting a new dog with a young child in the house can be a very dangerous situation if it's not handled correctly.

OP, your new dog does not need toys right now. It's too confusing. If anything, I would get him ONE toy, something very specific, and if you want to get a few so he always has access and to replace when one gets lost. The dog only gets that one thing, and everything else is off limits. I know you're used to your old dog having lots of toys, but it's not s necessity. Give the dog plenty of chewy rawhide type things when the child is not around, and most importantly, make sure the dog is getting TONS of exercise outside, and he will be fine. Eventually he will get used to the rules and you can gradually introduce additional toys. [/quote]
