Preparing Your Dog for Your New Baby

You're pregnant!  Does your dog like children?  There is a lot you can do to prepare your dog(s) for the arrival of your child.  In "Good Dog, Happy Baby", Michael Wombacher talks about all different aspects of this topic from addressing behavioral problems to making the transition seamless.  Did you know that carrying a doll around before the baby comes can help your dog get used to you having a little bundle attached to you all the time?  How about setting up motorized baby swings before hand?  Those can take some getting used to, and better to get a lot of that taken care of BEFORE the actually baby arrives.
