Hi everyone,I am new here,but was just wondering has anyone got some good advice on wether I should only have 1 dog,as I have a six month old baby girl and nearly 3 year old son,and two dogs,1 jack russell pup,and a tentrefeild terrier 2 year old female,that we saved from the pound,who is great with kids.
they are good but the puppy nips at my son,when playing or running,do you think he will grow out of that?
and its real full on having a puppy,as well as a baby,should I have waited till the kids were older?
any advice would be great,please? Rolling Eyes Question Smile

Hi there great to see a new person!. Two dogs are great as one might get a bit jealous of the baby but with two they would keep each other occupied.
Pups always seem to nip younger children. They try to be dominant over them which is unfortunate. Lots of supervision is needed when any child is near any dog but I am sure you do this anyway.
Try to get your yougster to learn how to get the dog to sit with him. Then let the little one give the dog a treat. only if it sits. hopefully in time the puppy will learn that if it sits next to child it will get a reward.
Good luck with your pup Very Happy
