Dog mommies out there - So my daughter turns 3 in April, and I would LOVE to get her a puppy. I've been getting mixed…

@dabcw3814, lol hub would never go for that, he wants a big dog like a German shepherd or Doberman

@angelaoliver101988, well that's interesting lol

Get a pug!

A puppy is a lot of work, and training. All dogs take training, but a puppy has a lot more energy to get out. I loved having dogs growing up, and I have had my current dog for about 5 years and just had my first baby, so the dog is already trained. I did hear that kids that grow up with pets are less likely to be sick as adults...if that helps...

A rescue dog is a great idea, especially if they're older they will most likely have already been trained by the workers at the rescue. Definitely a good option to look into !

@karinas_mommy, awesome, thanks for the response. I want to rescue a dog that's maybe like 2-3 but the hub wants a puppy. I guess we should just hold off a bit more

A puppy is a great idea but you have to have a lot of time & patience when training it .. & there will definitelyyyy be accidents, so if your husband isn't okay with the possibility of pee & poop on the wood floors or a piece of furniture being chewed than you should hold off. Training is a process it doesn't happen in one day. I've had dogs all my life, I loved growing up with animals & now my daughter who is almost 2 & our pitbull who is almost 4 are the bestttt of friends 😁
