Hiya!
I’ve got a 7 month old shar pei, she will be 10 when the baby is here, she is very boisterous, and loves her attention and gets suspicious and a little bit ‘cute’ jealous if someone else is getting more attention rather than her, she ends up coming up and licking the faces hehe! :D
She is good as gold however does not bark much and is cuddly.
I had my friend visiting us with her newborn on the weekend and the dog was fine with it kept on licking however was too excited and kept on jumping on the person who was holding the newborn almost as high as where the newborn was held. She kept on licking the baby which is a good sign! But when the baby put down to get changed she was way too excited and hyperactive around the baby we needed another person to hold her and kept on introducing her slowly but she was still super hyper.
When my friend came downstairs with the newborn she would keep on jumping on my friend I had to go over and hold her, and ended up putting her in her crate but then again she is so loud as she doesn’t like to be in her crate when we are downstairs she cries out loud same when we put her outside for a bit to calm down.
Any tips what can be done in this situation please so is not as hyper active around the new baby in 3 months?
I need some advice as I am going to be home alone with her and the baby and don’t want to be scared to go downstairs, and there will be no one to hold her for me until she calms down.
