We have 2 doggies, but we are still at the hospital. We leave today. I ttooka shirt with frwsh baby scent so they know him partially.
Very smart!! For the first part let them sniff it, and keep it in places they normally hang out. Then, start oracticing having them 'give space' away from the blanket. This helps them realize that scent means respect. Then when you bring baby home, enforce the give space rule as needed. Believe it or not, this will instantly engage their protective reflex. Another trick is to record the baby's cries on your phone, and play that for them, before baby comes home, so that they are familiar with that sound. If you play it and they get really excited, set the phone to repeat the sound while you correct the dogs. If they can't hear it without running around whining, make them Lie on their sides, and make them stay there.. This is a vulnerable position so They may argue a little with you. But keep at it til they can lie quietly and cally while listening to that sound. Then add the baby blanket. I usually wrap the phone in repeat, IN the blanket so the dogs out together that that scent will represent that noise.. But I honestly think your doggies will be just fine. Boundaries are an amazing thing in a dog's world.. The baby's room should be off limits, as should play pen areas. After the dogs show calm natures around the baby, then feel free to allow them to freely roam the house again! Again I think you guys will be fine.
They are good dogs, one is a lazy bum and the other is the protector. They have been given the shirt to sniff and then made to sit and sniff again, then treats if they are good and precise, so I will keep up with that and the space claiming as well. I don't anticipate problems, but they are under suspicion for awhile until they prove themselves lol Mama misses them, and we do not think our love for them has diminished at all, which I had heard of people saying.
I bet they'll adore him...and there's nothing like growing up with animals; it teaches and brings so much.

I know!! How cute that will be! Just remember Gambs, the dogs can smell the baby the second you open the car door, regardless of their location. This includes behind closed doors. So they don't need to jump up to smell him. I say this because there will be a mixture of excitement brought on between you two returning home, and a heightened scent arising from the baby himself. So allow them to sniff while standing next to you, with n jumping up on you, or your wife. When you have the baby in your arms, the dogs have to give space, it is a respect issue. Your doggies don't want to hurt the little guy but they often don't realize that their excitement can do just that. Can't wait to see more pics!

Good night and sweet dreams everybody !
Sleep is something I will sorely miss.
You have a dog, yes? Assuming SG is home at this point, have the two met yet?
For some reason I thought of this.

When does little Simon get to come home?
