[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I don't understand why the dog is such a problem for you - presumably you had him before you had the baby, so what did you do before that? if your problem is crating him, multiple people have already told you that it would be fine to limit him to certain rooms/floors.

I really don't believe that a 70lb "pain in the ass" is "strangely wonderful" when it's time to juggle him with a baby and a stroller. don't put this on your nanny. if you think there is no other option than having the nanny walk your dog, you are correct - a nanny is not for you[/quote]

We just leave him at home alone usually. However when people are around, he becomes insistent for attention. Our previous attempts to put him in other rooms while guests are over resulted in the destruction of a door and two baby gates, or just constant barking. When free, he nudges people for attention, leans on them, sits on them, and if he gets ignored, starts to steal our shoes or baby toys. My husband and I have sought assistance from a dog trainer, so we know how to shut it down quickly, but it has taken practice and patience. He's not an easy beast.

I've been completely honest about my situation, so I'm not sure why you don't believe me. Even at the dog's worst in the house, whenever we go for a walk he does not pull me. I'll admit to not understanding why an afternoon walk is such a deal-breaker for a nanny, but several PP have said that it is. Ok then, good to know, question answered. It's absolutely fine to crate him for the majority of the day, but not the whole 10 hours. So I agree, a nanny might not be for me. [/quote]
