Babies & Vizslas

5848 Views 7 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  madaboutvizslas
I have two sweet, adorable vizslas. Both have been well socialized and handled around other children of various ages. However, I do not have children of my own and my husband and I are in the next phase of our lives in wanting to start a family. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways I can start working with my vizslas now so when the time does come that I bring baby home the transition might go smoothly? Both dogs are used to getting alot of attention from us since we don't have children to occupy our time. I'm worried with the time that the new baby will need that the dogs might start acting up? I want a safe loving environment for both dogs and baby. We consider our dogs part of the family. Any books or articles you might know of and could recommend would be great!
Thanks.

my wife and I had a lab when our first child was born. when expecting both my wife and I would hold a doll and ignore the dog...let her see us not paying her attention. I felt like that was a good exercise (albeit not the sole remedy).
