[quote=Anonymous]I'm due in November, so I can't speak to what it's like after the baby comes, but a few thoughts. Like others have said, our dog really calmed down around a year and a half. He's still high energy, just the nature of his breed, but he's much better behaved and not just flat out hyper like he used to be. We've worked a lot on leash manners so he does not pull at all, which has made walks great. It gets me out of the house and some exercise, and I'm totally confident that once the baby comes it won't be hard to walk the dog with the baby, which I was worried about before when he pulled a lot. We also ordered this book, which has been helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Theres-Baby-House-Preparing-Arrival/dp/0971303304 maybe something to check out. The biggest thing for us has been general obedience, which got a lot easier as he calmed down. He knows that he's not the boss, we are, and we can now tell him to go to his bed, leave things, etc. and he always listens. Good luck! [/quote]
