Hi, just looking for tips and advice. We have a 5 yo Jack Russell bitch and our first baby due in a few weeks. She's a great dog and loves people but is very uncertain about babies (she's never had opportunity to see babies before). I've started playing crying baby noises around the house and rewarding once she's calm. Can anyone suggest anything that worked for you ? She has calmed to the noise in just 2 days. Her reactions before were very intense. Head tilts and being fixated on noise.
Her first encounter with a baby she was barking at her cries, wagging and dilated pupils which I believe is fear (not a good mix).
thanks xo
