How To Introduce Your Dog To Your Baby
Presenting your dog for your child can be easily accomplished with the right preparation. So do not leave Fido out of the loop when you are expecting. Here are some quick and easy tips to help your dog accommodate the newest member of the family.
Get used to
Instead of waiting until the baby arrives, jump on things and modify your dog's routine while you are still pregnant. By implementing a feeding / walking / playtime schedule with your dog, you will provide a structure that will work when the mother arrives home with the child.
Introduction Before the child and Fido meet in person, you can introduce your dog to your little scent. Give your pooch sniffing items that the child has been in contact with: a blanket, a carriage, a diaper. When mother and child arrive home, hire Fido to keep them from jumping. Allow your dog to see and smell the baby, create a positive association for your dog by providing lots of delicious dog treats for calm, collected treats.

Don't be afraid to use management tools (such as Dog Leash, Crate, and Dog Toys) to help you navigate through your day and still maintain your purity! For example, when you put the baby down for a nap, give Fido a treat toy in his crate.If you are expecting a baby, you can prepare our article: Preparing for Baby: What Your Dog Expects When You Are Expecting.
