My first baby is due at the start of August, and I expect we will be spending at a lot of time at my parents' house. They have a very large and enthusiastic Labradoodle. My friend recently came to stay with her 5 month old and dog did not behave himself at all! He got very overexcited and kept jumping up (with me frantically guarding both baby and my belly!). He is also allowed on the sofa at home (I know!) so sees a baby on the sofa as being his territory. It's not that he is aggressive, just very enthusiastic and completely unaware of how large he is! This has made me and my mum freak out a little bit. Is there anything we can do to prepare dog for arrival of baby or will I have to keep them in separate rooms whenever we visit?
