[quote=Anonymous]Hmm, I would not get a puppy with a 2YO unless both you and DH are home the majority of the time and/or you have a fenced-in backyard. With a young puppy, you need to set a timer to take her out to potty every 30 minutes, unless she is in her crate. When we got our puppy, we had to relocate *all* of our kids' toys and books from the playroom that was in our open main living area, off to a different room that had doors and could be closed. Otherwise, she was constantly chewing on toys and books, anything she could get her hands on. If you don't have a yard, getting the dog enough exercise could be a challenge with a 2YO. Also, our youngest was 4.5 when we got our first puppy and the puppy definitely viewed him as her littermate or playmate and played with him accordingly (rough-housing, nipping, etc.) so we had to train that out of her.[/quote]
