Yes, bleeding hearts are toxic to dogs (and other animals) as well as can cause skin irritation for humans. While it sounds like your dog may not be interested in your new plants, it is certainly a reason to pause. You could try to fence them in, although that may take away from the aesthetic of them.
You can make sure to keep him away from that area at all time, but that may not be the best course of action just in case he gets loose or someone else is caring for him. It also won’t prevent other animals who are curious.
If you are really concerned, it might be best to avoid planting them altogether. We know they are beautiful plants, but it is important to do all we can to take care of our furry friends.
