We will have a child

Preparation culminates in the household: the painting, added cot, changing the counter and many other things. All dogs registered, you may notice the smell of your revised, but none of it unfortunately does not prepare him for the fact that from now on will be a lot of things differently.

Deadline approaching

One day the door opens - and his owner will keep the dogs completely alien creature who not only has to be a new member of the household, but will even his centerpiece.
It goes without saying that your dog will henceforth turn one rung of the hierarchy below. Far more, however, he will not mind that the child spend his attention. And with it will have to accept - and you in turn do everything possible to get the dog all the news, which is now in the family will begin to happen just does not combine with a new member, this question could have on the future relationship of the negative impact of child dog.

With the advance

A lot of unpopular things for the dog can do long before the child reaches the household.For example, your dog still had his bed are you in the bedroom, but because there now will sleep with you baby, recognize it from its proximity to the hall somewhere. Mistake is to leave nest moving up to D-Day: the dog would have been absolutely clear that the reason is that small.
Another change will be times and length of walks. Try to estimate the time when you may walk out with a stroller, and adjust the common daily routine the last weeks or even days before giving birth. And if you decide that some will have dog walks to go with a stranger, preferably before the hire, first, try it, first, the dog, this reversal will not associate with the arrival of the child.
If you have completed the walk off, it's time to teach him to walk on a leash.Hard you chase after the dog park with a pram ... So, before kocarkove period comes, it will no longer have dog experience, that goes out with the strap.
Thoroughly and think of other rituals, which can change even before the baby is born.

Mock

Before your first baby brought it home, check out how your dog reacts to children. Initially, no contact need not be tight enough to pass the playground, where children can chill out loud. Dog should not show nervousness. The second stage is to invite you to visit a family with a child, the dog on its territory may behave differently than outside.
Slight dog leave something like it, but he will have enough children's attention, retreat to the sidelines. This is an ideal case. This apart, most often the dog's bed,should be taboo for the child, and it is your duty to supervise.
Timid dog, on a child's voice and uncoordinated movements of the frightened response from the child and will keep their distance. No it do not make contact. Casey overcomes curiosity and he will attempt to bring the child to make them look and sniff. Until then both at rest and a short list. In case of a child, you walk a dog considered to be an excellent target of persecution, make sure that your dog will feel cornered, in panic, could beat a child under stress or even bite.
