Not really have many answers but I also have a 9 week old puppy and a 14 month old daughter and almost 3 year old son ! Fun

 

I have a 1 year old daughter (turns 1 on the 1st) and an almost 3 year old son, and our poor puppy is having a hard time grasping things.

 

I'm lucky our puppy is awesome at being soft with the kids. Only once in a while I have to get on to him for being a little rough..

 

I have a six month WL puppy with a 19 month old daughter and 4 and 6 year old boys! It has not been perfect but I feel like it has been better than expected! Really happy with how it is going, my kids are so gentle and respectful of Loki and Loki adores his children.

 

Is the puppy chasing and mouthing the kids? It is up to you to prevent this. Kids run, and they make high-pitched noises, exactly like prey. This stimulates a puppy, and not in a good way.

Leash puppy, or tether him to you. Puppy should not have free roaming privileges, because that will set him up for failure. The only way you can control him right now is to have a physical grasp on him. Otherwise, he will get into trouble.

Any time he is not leashed or tethered, he should be in a crate or expen. I always tell people a GSD is not a dog you can buy for the kids to let them have fun with a dog. This is a dog that needs to be controlled by adults until it is properly trained.

 

No, we don't allow chasing anymore. The pup will try to dominate the kids though.

 

I have a 4 year old with a 7 month GSD puppy and a 13 year old husky. So when our kid was little, he grew up learning how to be around the husky, now with the puppy, she needs to learn to be around the kid, haha! We have a lot of rules in place about behavior around the dogs, and who gets freedom at what times. Just like teaching puppies not to mouth/bite you, you need to teach babies/toddlers not to grab, chase, lay on, pull on, etc. with the dogs. It can get to be like a mad house (I don't envy you raising a puppy and such a young baby at the same time!) but as long as you're not asking one party to just "put up with" something, you're fine.

I have a really great book I always suggest to parents with dogs, it's by Colleen Pelar, called "Raising Kids and Dogs". Pretty cheap on Amazon, and really worth it.

Here's a neat little guide I did when my son was just about a year old, too, with showing my husky's body language and how fast it can change. You can even see when we stepped in to diffuse tension.

I know you didn't have any specific questions, but those are always my favorite parts to touch on with babies. I'm always up for chatting, though!

 

We have 4 big dogs (see my sig for details). We bought our first dog, Nara (she was 8 weeks old), when our oldest daughter (now 9) was 2 years old. We now have a 6-year old daughter, a 4-year old son, and a new baby on the way. We have never had any problems. You can PM me or ask me anything you want.
