Dog and Baby

Hi all! So we found out last month that we are expecting a baby in May. Sophie is WAY "needy" (does the anatolian lean and pretends to be a 70 ound + lap dog) and also has a fetish for eating dirty underwear and stuffed toys. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on getting her to be good around the baby and such. I'm running out of underwear, and I don't want her stealing toys from the baby:)

THANKS!

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D

There are a lot of things you need to do before your baby comes home, including obedience training, getting your dog used to baby smells, if you are the primary care taker you need to let another person to spend a little more time with your dog, etc.

It is great that you are concerned about this and you are working so much ahead of time.

I don't know if you thought about looking for a dog trainer who holds classes for expecting parents. They can guide you through everything.

Since it would be a lot to write it here I can only recommend you to read this from the San Fransisco SPCA. It is very helpful!

Good luck with it! :wink:
Thanks! Sophie's gone through basic obedience. I don't know of any classes here that are specifically for expecting parents, but I will look around and see if there are any! Luckily my husband takes care of most doggy duties:)

Thank you so much for everything!
