Dog and baby interaction

Bringing a new pup to home is a phase of excitement. But it is also your duty to make the pup comfortable at home and with the family members, especially with the children.
Take the time to educate your child how to respect animals. Similarly, give your dog as much attention as possible so he does not feel neglected in the presence of children.
# Prepare for a Dog and Baby to Meet
Before bringing a baby into the home for the first time, train your dog for the new arrival:
Familiarize him with the baby's scent and items.
Let him smell the baby's blanket, clothes. Get your dog familiar with what new sounds he'll hear. Play a recording that includes baby cooing, crying and laughter.
## Educate Kids about dogs
Demonstrate how to play with a dog calmly and gently
Teach your child to respect the pet
Do not pull the dog's tail
Do not hurt the dog
Do not feed him tits-bits
Always carry the pup in a proper manner
Do not approach a dog without permission from his owner
