Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Should I allow my dog to sleep in my toddlers room?
I’ve had dogs all my life and they’ve slept with anyone in my family even small kids we never had any issues. . Only you know your pets

My mother’s dog was raised with my kids around. Never any signs of aggression and yet he bit my seven year old son’s ankle the other day and my son wasn’t even near him or bothering him. He was just running around the yard with his 19 yr old brother and the dog somehow just snapped. I’m thinking the dog is just getting too old for too much things going on at once. You can never be too cautious honestly especially with toddlers because the toddlers love is too much sometimes even though they mean well.

I personally no. All dogs have a limit. Not saying your toddler will do anything. I know lots of families who’s dogs sleep with their babies. Or check in on them. I mean i guess I’m full of myself. Lol, if you can trust it, that’s on you. I just never leave any child unsupervised with any animals! I guess it’s just on you personally you know, your dog. All dogs can turn, I don’t say that like crazy. Lol. They are like us I like to believe only take so much and biting or what not is their reaction! I love all doggies! Sleeping with adults is just different than a child to me. Just go with how you feel! Maybe he just wants to check on his baby. My moms 4 dogs will, go up and down the stairs all night, checking in my niece. (My sister is right next to her) sorry this was rambling and maybe doesn’t make sense hahah… I tried

I wouldn’t until you’re comfortable that your child can read the signs that the dog may be getting frustrated. Better safe than sorry! They’ll have plenty of time together to build trust in one another.

I wouldn’t. Not unsupervised at least. Both toddlers and dogs can be unpredictable. Better safe than sorry. I would wait a few years until the child is older and can read any signs from the dog better just to be safe.

After being fired from my old job 8 months ago, I’ve had luck to learn about this great company online that was a lifesaver for me. They offer online home-based work. My last month payment after working with them for 4 months was $14996… Great thing about it was that only requirement for the job is basic typing and reliable internet.

Your dog wants to protect your toddler but we all know toddlers can be rough with their love. How about a dog bed outside the bedroom door ? Or leave the bedroom door open so the dog can come to you if it gets too much ?
No matter how good the dog they have their limits.

Sure. Labs are generally a family breed. I would leave the door open enough for the dog to come out if he wants to. Two year olds can get a little too enthusiastic with their love and dogs can get overwhelmed, so leave the dog an out. I know dogs like to keep an eye on their little people. When my son was a newborn, my Irish Setter, Annie, thought he was hers. She would lay beside his blanket when he had tummy time and nose his toys back to him when he pushed them out of reach. And when he would nap and I had to put clothes on the line, she would sit next to his crib with her muzzle on the bumper pad, and she would come to the door and get me if he fussed at all. She would also get up with us for nighttime feedings. He was her boy.

Just make sure your kiddo has has safe sleep space and that the dog has its own sleep space in the room. Dogs have been known to alert parents to problems with a sleeping baby that wouldn’t have been noticed otherwise

It’s a lab, he probably wants to sleep in there to keep an eye on the kid because he wakes up in the middle of the night. My pitbull used to sleep in the crib with my girl when she was a baby and in her bed as she got older.
The dog would come get me if the baby woke up or needed a diaper change.
The dog also helped the baby learn to sit up and helped her learn to walk. She would hold onto toys and counter any time my daughter leaned then when she started walking the dog would walk beside her or even let my daughter hold onto her like the dog thought she was a walker for my daughter

Yes we do. They like to watch over their littles
My 1st german shepherd would sleep right by my baby’s crib for the first 3 months when she was a baby. He protected her. That was the only time he ever did not sleep by my side. He would make rounds until he was to old to do so at night. But that’s just what we did. I trusted that boy more than most hunans.

Let the dog sleep in the room. That’s his human. Our old dog use to sleep in our middle child’s room and only her room, he was super protective of her since birth (she was 7 weeks early and at the time had undiagnosed Cerebral Palsy) it was like he was trying to tell us something was wrong with her. Dogs are amazing animals.

All of my dogs have always slept with my kiddos. I’ve had a Pit Bull, Black Lab, Jack Russell/Rat Terrier/Bull Mastiff and a Chihuahua. You do what’s comfortable for you and your child. Now my black lab whose 8 months old is so obnoxious that he has to sleep in his kennel at night otherwise he chews on EVERYTHING so once he’s fixed hopefully he mellows out and then he can sleep with us, again. My black lab was chewing the corners of my box spring up 
he’s my third lab.

My Doberman has been sleeping with my kids since they were 5 and 6. If your dog gets uncomfortable I’m sure it’s first move will be to leave the room so make sure you give him that option, don’t close the door. Most dogs give warnings before biting and you’ll usually hear that warning if your child oversteps the boundaries (hopefully that doesn’t happen).

Is your dog ok being shut behind a closed door at night? My dog has always slept with my husband and I. We keep all bedroom doors closed 24/7, but especially overnight and he has grown accustomed to bedtime and being in the closed off room.
My corgi terrier grew up sleeping in my 8 year olds room, my pitbull has taken a liking to sleeping in our toddlers room. Doors open. My pitty waits for the baby Togo to sleep then slithers in and gets his snuggles then sleeps at the foot of the bed.

No. Big NO. dogs and toddlers should always be supervised. Even the sweetest dog can have a bad day or try to define a boundary with a bite. Big dogs and little kids don’t mix, for the kids sake, they should always be supervised.

I love the idea of it 
and my own very trusted collie mix has been put with my boys to help them feel safer some nights. But even saying that, a dog can snap randomly. And toddlers aren’t good at boundaries so you really have to monitor the situation

No. No. No. Even dogs that love you can hurt you if experiencing unexpected pain, such as a tail that’s accidentally stepped on or an ear that gets pulled. You would be setting your dog up for failure and possible euthanasia if left unsupervised with a toddler.

She will give me time to get there and handle whatever is going on.

Here’s the thing. It really didn’t sound like you trust your dog. My German shepherd slept with my 6 month old nephew (she was a puppy then) and now, they are 6 and they still cuddle when he is over. I also have an English Setter that sleeps with all the kids. They both do. Why? Because I trust them. My family trusts them. They are the sweetest dogs. But they aren’t small. My 16 month old nephew uses my German shepherd as a pillow, a pony (or tries he’s too short ) and a toy. He loves to play with her. All of this happens because they are trusted. They absolutely love the kids and the kids love them.

Our German Shepard sleeps with a 16 month old. But, come near them when their outside and you would be up close and personal with our GS because he loves all kids and hates wired strangers. Yes he knows the difference.
Yes our dogs havs their own bed and the smallest on she very protective over my son sleep in his bed.
My daughters pitt sleeps with her but she is a teenager to though. I’m not so sure for toddlers, unfortunately.
