[quote=Anonymous]it's all about positive and negative reinforcement. We had the same issue and this is how we solved it. We have a 14 year old dog and when the dog growled or barked at the baby, we would shake a can of pennies or do a quick squirt of water in the dog's face. The dog learned that growing at the baby was not ok. I would sit the baby in my lap and help the baby feed the dog treats, pet him, and talk in soothing tones. The dog learned that if he's sweet, the baby gives him treats and is nice to him. If you don't think you can train the dog, hire a trainer. And until this is sorted out, no unsupervised time with dog and baby and keep them separated. You can teach an old dog new tricks.[/quote]
