waiting for my flower to bloom - Friday, 29 May
From what I have seen my brother and sister-inlaw do with their pitbull dog and my neice is just let him smell her and show him the baby. They let him be around her since day 1 and my neice is 2 1/2 years old and he has not once hurt her in any way he has been protective of her. So they basically let him be but if they saw he was licking her they would just let him know. Also dont forget to show your love to your puppy tooo! Trust me I am worried about my cat..goodness. I dont want her to jump in the baby's crib or anything. My cat is very nosey. lol well good luck

I also have this worry, I have a Jack Russell who is so loving but if somebody touches his food while he's eating he snarls and he also jumps up and is very energetic. I think the only thing to do is warn the dog whenever it goes near the baby, let it have a sniff and a little lick but don't let them go close all the time like when you're feeding or changing the baby. They will soon learn that they have to careful around them. Good luck xx

I also have dogs, two Golden Retrievers. Trace will be a year old in August but he's huge already and our little golden girl, Chelsea, is four months old. They are great dogs and Trace is excellent at obedience but he does get overly excited when my kids go outside to play with him or when he comes in the house. What I try to do with him is give him his sit command right away and make him wait for any type of attention until he has calmed down completely. Once he's calm, I will give him attention, but reserved so he doesn't get hyper all over again. You really just need to practice this over and over but your dog will eventually get it. As a few people said, most dogs seem naturally curious of babies and seem to know that they are fragile, but even the gentlest of dogs may need some guidance so they don't smother the baby with slobbery kisses,lol! Good luck and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask, training is one of my favorite things to do with my dogs!

I have owned dogs my whole life and dogs have a sense to the babies, they want to protect them so he might get excited, but he wont hurt the baby, I had a huge dog it was a conni corso if you know what that is, when baby would cry she would try and take care of it they protect the baby, she would come to me and let me know I needed to take care of baby, she thought it was her baby lol it was sooo cute you dont have much to worry about dogs are very good creatures. The floor thing I would keep him/her off the floor till the pup gets used to the baby, but by the time the baby is able to be on the floor pup will know. I hope this eased you a lil I hope that you can rest a lil easier. have a good day and hope everything works out.

A good tip I recieved was, to try to train them better to listen not jump on things. Like have off limit areas, but be sure that the dog does have her own area to call her own. Take out the baby toys, like the tummy time, or swing and before a few weeks before the baby get home and have the dog know that is a off limit area. I also heard that if the dog is used to being spoiled and gets a lot of attention, its a good thing to start ignoring it for longer prds of time so she can get used to it. One tip I can give you is do all these things little by little not all at once. You don't want freak out your little friend. Good Luck!

I've been thinking of the same thing recently. I have an almost 6 year old black lab who weighs about 65 -70 lbs. I'm not worried about her temperament with the baby at all, but more of her getting closer than I would be comfortable with. She loves kids, and therefore tries to sniff and lick them whenever they are around. RainbowRach's play pen idea would probably work well for you if you are nervous about him/her being on the floor.

You just need to establish your baby as something that is not for the dog to touch. Definately a good idea to start trying to train the dog better... any dog that jumps all over people isnt very charming, whether it weighs 5 lbs or 50 lbs. Good luck, dont know if you get the National Geographic channel where you are but there is a show called the dog whisperer that woulc probably really help you. take care

I have a 1/1/2 year old SHIH TZH male and I'm training him now how to act while being around a baby my cousin in law baby was at our house on this weekend past and i put her on the floor with him and all he did was lick her on the leg and I told him ok that enough and he was very calm around her and i found that hard since there hasn't been a baby in our house so i guess that he is going to be very good when the baby come home!

Hiya, I am doing a combo of zero tolerance on jumping up. I am buying a play pen so I can lay Emily down on a play mat and Nelson cant walk on her by accident! My dog is a retriever and weighs 33kgs! x x

Hey Ladies! I've been having something on my mind ever since I got pregnant the first time. I have a year old Yorkie pup and I am wondering how she will be with the baby. I have no concern, what so ever, on if she would be mean, snippy, or anything like that to the baby. I am more worried about her jumping on the baby in excitement. She is a VERY loving, but a bit hyper of a dog (which most Yorkies are). Also that she might jump on me while holding the baby on the couch. I don't know the exact name for them but those attention toys you lay on the floor and put the baby on their back and they can gaze at the shapes and play with them. I'm nervous I'd never be able to have the baby on the floor for fear that Hailey will walk, jump, or scratch him/her by accident. I guess I haven't trained her that well NOT to jump on people, because no one really comes over too often. She knows how to sit, but doesn't really listen to me when I tell her to come. Any advice? Should I really start trying to "crack down" on her?
