Just like humans, a puppy loves the idea of being the center of attention. The longer the time that your puppy has been the center of attention in your home, the more jealousy that is likely to become noticeable upon introduction of a newborn in the household. You will start to notice behaviors like pawing or barking, furthermore, the puppy may also begin to show destructive behaviors.

In preparing for a new baby you have to also make sure that you prepare the puppy for the new infant in order to prevent any possible misbehaviors that may arise.

1) Before bringing the baby home, while you are preparing the rest of the home for the new child, you will also need to start preparing the puppy for the arrival. For starters, preventing the puppy from thinking that the baby is a toy that he can play with and bite, you may want to introduce him to a doll. Carry the doll around throughout your daily routine much like you would once the baby arrives. Pretend to change the doll’s diapers in the presence of the puppy while at the same time making sure to give the puppy commands. Furthermore, you will also need to lay the doll down for a nap just like you would once the baby is born. Above all, make sure that the puppy obeys the commands that you give him; it is better that the puppy bites into the doll than your own baby.

2) Taking the puppy for walks around other toddlers such as at the playground is another way of getting him accustomed to the new arrival. Keep the puppy on a small 6’ leash and allow him to walk around while at the same time allow the other children to pet and play with the puppy so that he can get used to the young children. This will help him to realize that the new baby will not be a threat to him as well as assist in lowering the stress levels associated with bringing home a new baby.

3) Socializing your puppy with children is important before you ever bring home a new baby. In the event that the puppy shows any form of aggression to the children, you need to contact a professional as the puppy may be in the need of some form of specialized dog behavioral training.

4) As you start preparing the baby’s room, in the last few weeks before the arrival of the baby, let the puppy follow you in and out of the baby’s room as well as sniff the things you bring into the room while under complete supervision. In the event that the puppy paws at the crib or gets too close to it, tell him NO and teach the puppy that the crib is off limits to him; always.
