Preparing your dog for the arrival of a new baby

^^ second that. It doesn't matter how docile your dog is, never leave the two of them alone. Never let your kid go to the dog while it is eating. I have family that lost a child because their toddler went to play with the mutt breed dog with a bone. My dog is a docile lab. I've got three girls. When my dog was laying down in the kitchen, the kid was crawling towards the lab, and she growled. Unfortunately, I had to remind the dog very sternly the pecking order of the pack. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, dogs need discipline too, otherwise they will think they are the leader of the pack, which in their mind gives them the ability to discipline your children. That is how tragedies occur
