Then all the dog has to do is worry about the crying, which he will come to ignore fast enough. His only other problem will be to adjust to all the attention given that little creature who smells and cries. Simply make sure that all the people who come to see the baby greet the dog first. He will be delighted and think this party is being given for him!

Above all, don't neglect your dog's obedience work at this crucial time. It's a good thing for the new father to be working on obedience training during those few lonely days while mother and child are still at the hospital. When the child arrives at home, continue this attention to the dog, so that he doesn't feel left out. And nothing more will be required.
