Assuming that the character is an afflicted lycanthrope, try this...
Give him the +2 ECL straight up (he can't start gaining new levels, until he has enough experience for two more levels). Give him the Alternate Form ability (animal only, not hybrid), and any benefits that derive from turning into that form (DR, special abilities, ability adjustments, etc...). But when in human form, he gains no benefit whatsoever (No scent, empathy, natural armor, low-light vision or +2 Wisdom).
Once he works off that +2 ECL, he now must start taking Animal HD, instead of class levels. He gains hit points, BAB, Saves, and skill points as an Animal (you can find all that in the "Improving Monsters" section of the MM) as if he'd 'multiclassed' into the Animal 'class'. Once he gains enough Animal HD to equal the type of animal that he changes into, then he gains the full benefit of the template, and can once again begin taking regular class levels.
Does that make sense?
