Can anyone give any advice? I have a 3 year old retriever who was the baby of the family until my little boy came along 8 months ago. He is very jelous of the baby and tries to push his way in when I am playing with the baby.
I have been trying to get him used to the baby touching and stroking him as I know it is inevitable that once mobile he is going to try and get to the dog himself. The dog is having none of it.
He is also very scared of friends toddlers yet he will pace around in the room rather than just taking himself off to a quiet space.
What can I do to help him accept the baby and toddlers?!
I don't want to shut him out the room as he will start to associate the kids as a negative thing because he gets shut away so could become even worse!
In general he is a wonderful natured dog with older kids and adults, it's just 'flighty' toddlers.....
