My Son has just been diagnosed with PDD-NOS and we are looking for a very affectionate, medium size dog that will tollerate apartment living and does not shed very much or at all. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.Any advice on a great affectionate dog for 2 year old with PDD-NOS?
I would wait a few more years, and depending where on the spectrum your son lies - he may need a few more years to understand how to treat a dog. If he has meltdowns, it could lead to a potential bite.
I have a lot of experience w/ PDD-NOS - and if you son was anything like my daughter at that age, I'd wait.
BUT - if you are dead set about getting a dog, you should just check the shelters.Any advice on a great affectionate dog for 2 year old with PDD-NOS?
You seem to have quite high expectations. I would advise you to visit your local animal shelters - they will have dogs that have been assessed %26amp; they can tell you about their temperaments etc. I think you are much more likely to find a dog suitable for you from a shelter than a breeder or somebody selling a dog.
Good luck :)Any advice on a great affectionate dog for 2 year old with PDD-NOS?
Sorry.......don't know what the initials stand for, but if you are looking for a small dog that does not shed at all.........check out poodles. They are extremely intelligent and happy to live in small environments. They tend to think they are human, so please be sure and train them properly. Hope all goes well for your boychick, you and your prospective new flatmate!
