Start preparing your dog a few months in advance of your baby's arrival. Play recorded baby sounds such as those on the CD Preparing Fido at a low volume for short periods of time everyday and then gradually increase.
Prohibit your pet's access to the nursery starting a few months before the baby is born.
Place dog toys in a contained area so they're separate from children's toys. Keep only a few toys outside the toy box in order to discipline your dog.
Avoid giving your dog any attention when she misbehaves with the new baby in the house.
If you need outside help, private dog training lessons range from $30-$65 per hour.
