One of our Mumsnet families, with kids aged 6 and 10, is preparing to adopt a 2-year-old Labrador. They live in a house with a small garden and are looking for your top tips to make this transition as smooth as possible.
- How did you introduce your dog to your kids and home?
- What strategies helped your new dog feel safe and settled quickly?
- Any advice for balancing family life with the needs of an energetic dog?
- How can everyone, including the kids, help the dog adjust?
- How did you handle walking and socialising with other dogs?
- What was your experience leaving dogs at home alone? How did you reduce stress?
All advice is welcome - you don’t have to have had a rescue or a Labrador!
