2. Teach the animal to smell and things baby: dog toys should be absolutely no like baby, so no reason to play toys; if possible, take from the hospital some diaper or vests and put in the house so that the animal sniffed the subject, and he will not be surprised by the smell.

3. Teach the animal to its cage or carry. There is a special technique that teaches the animal to be in this container for up to 4 hours is recommended.

4. Pre-teach the animal to the cry of the infant, for example, place the account with a child cry.

Adhere to the following mandatory rules.

Rule # 1. Under no circumstances will the cat or dog should not be left alone with a child. For tragedy it only takes two seconds: runaway porridge on the stove, a phone call. You must first make sure that the animal is adequately responds to the child in any situation: when you cry or scream, the fall, the desire to hug and so on, If you need to do something, the dog or cat must be put in a kennel, give a treat or food.

Rule # 2. The dog never punished in the presence of the child. Its not scolding, not driven, it doesn't get the negative emotions associated with the child. On the contrary, the animal must be educated to the fact that when the kid next door, she gets something good. If you try to isolate the child from the pet"Went out! ", "Shoo! "he will associate negative emotions with the appearance of the newborn. The consequence of this - the will to survive of the child to remove.

The first meeting

When a mother with a newborn for the first time appears in the house, the dog, long seen the mistress starts to jump on it with joy. It is important at this point to give the baby to someone and spend time with the dog, so she calmed down and realized that her love. Only then, with the safety net, to give the opportunity from afar to watch the baby, sniff (also published). However closely watch the reaction of the animal: is there any tension in the pose. It is best if the dog show interest in what is happening, but without jumping, squealing, barking. If, despite all the action, aggressive animal belongs to the child, it is best to decide to put it into the right hands. If, for example, in dogs excessive dominance, whatever you do, you will never teach her to "respect" the child, she understands that this is not the kind of individual that would occupy a dominant position in the community.
