Short frequent sessions during the first day are recommended. Gradually bring the dog closer, paying attention to his responses. If the dog is under verbal control and calm after several introductions, try it without the leash. No matter how well you know your dog, accidents happen. Some dogs' predatory drives are not apparent, and the sounds, smells and movements of infants and children trigger many dogs.
Dogs are often unaware of their own strength, and can cause injury out of excitement and happiness.
You can not afford to take any of these risks. Make time daily to have 'fun' with the dog without the baby present. Play-training sessions, throwing his favorite toy, or any other positive interactive games are all good choices. Canine friendships can be loyal and true if you realize that dogs can not understand the concept of equality. In the canine world there are leaders and followers, you must be your dog's leader.
