I've been a dog owner since I was a child and recently last 5 years I've been raising a german shepherd for the past 5 to 6 years, he is the best dog in the world very submissive and obedient around others dogs he has his own cage if the dogs don't get along and he is trained so he doesn't bark, chew or pee in the house. I take him out at least three to four times out to the restroom or for walks. There is no ignoring pets or hitting pets animals deserve as much love and respect as humans. I have a house and it's pretty private so there won't be no complaints. Hundred percent sure your child will be safe and happy at all times.
