HELP!?! any advice on how to get your dog to be comfortable around kids.. I have a white german sheperd that hates kids...she growls and barks but has never bit anyone. she has never been socialized around kids because we don't have any.. now we have a baby on the way and we're worried about how she's going to do with him.

I have the same problem except I have a mini schnauzer
I've heard you can play like baby noises to get them comfortable with the sounds but, I'm not sure if it helps. My dog isn't the friendliest with kids either but, my husband has a daughter with autism and now the baby on the way and we just kind of teach the kids not to mess with her :( which makes me sad but, she's sensitive because she has a fake hip and is just being protective of herself :/ She's been very protective over me though since I've been prego so I'm kind of hoping maybe it'll just be different like she'll protect the kids haha I still don't let kids be around her alone though... I'm hoping to get her trained but, she's like 9 so idk :/
even if you had a cat I would give same advice always watch pets around newborns cats are known for covering a newborn s mouth because,of the babymilk smell.. dogs don't mind being crated it's their wolves instincts, ,but,they have to be used to it from puppies, I've had dogs where u can leave the cage door open and tell them to go inside and they will stay in there until you tell them to come out. ..some dogs don't like men, some don't even like other dogs. white German shepherd s are beautiful,I've only groomed 2 ... they can skittish ,but,they aren't aggressive
but I will try bringing something home before the baby come in to help.
i watch her and she scares me. I can't even have her around kids when I'm babysitting. I don't know if they scare her or what it is.. so I keep her crated. but I don't want to have to keep her crated her entire life. I want to be able to adjust the behavior.
be safe and never leave them alone,I'm a Professional Pet Groomer of 18,yrs ,regardless of the breed especially if they aren't familiar with small children,babies, kids at all ,must always be watched.When the baby is born give your pet something with his/her scent on it so your dog can get used to it before the baby is home from the hospital
I play baby sounds and she looks at Me like I'm crazy lol . I'm gonna try muzzling her and have some kids sit in the living room . and see if something comes out of it.
