My dog is super excitable & I'm kinda worried about having him around the baby.
He's mainly an outside dog, but he comes inside when it's raining or too cold & sometimes just to get some attention. I don't want to neglect him attention wise when my son is born, but I also don't want him to get too excited around the baby & something happen.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Just stating, I don't have the money for training & I will NOT get rid of him.

@deafmama16, how? My little brother, who is seven, is the youngest child we have in both of our families & he does fine with him.

@brogansmommy, I can't remember how but if he is house trained try to keep him inside for a certain time and there is a YouTube video on how to prepare your pet for the baby. It may be hard if he has ever been around a baby before but it can work just give it time :) my pitbull did amazing around my niece before she was murder

My dog is the same way , the way we prepped him was with the toys and lotion. Like her swing we set up and turned on to get him used to it and we played crying baby noises so he would be used to the noises. And with the lotion I would put it on so he was used to the smell.

He just gets so excited when he comes in the house. Like, after he's been inside for a little bit he calms down & I'm not worried, but when he first comes inside I'm worried about him barreling into the swing or wherever the baby is.

Just take things slowly... Your pup will learn what he's allowed and not allowed to do. Who knows, he may end up being completely different around the baby 😊

That would be amazing. My fiancé never has any positive suggestions about it. He just says that we'll have to leave him outside all the time or get rid of him & neither one of those are reasonable options.

I have two pitbulls that live with my mom they had gotten an American bulldog who was 100 lbs at 9 months old so very hyper. My female pitbull would actually put the bulldog in its place if it even came close to me when I had the baby they are very nurturing and protective of all the kids in our family. I would start with playing baby sounds around him inside the house and if you have any friends with babies have them come over and be around the dog. Also call a pet trainer and ask what else can prepare him to share.
