Im planning on moving in with my boyfriends parents once i have my baby, im not sure if its the best idea though they have a fully grown rotweiller weighs like 12 stone so that shows how big he is and a staffy thats a few month old just want others opinions on this what should i do?
The rotweiller growls at people he doesnt no hes never been around a baby so really hard to tell how he will react to a baby
the staffy is quite playful
is there anything else i should worry about with the dogs being around my baby?
Answer
I have 4 children and 4 dogs. 2 of my dogs came into our family while my 2 oldest children were around 5 y/o and 7 y/o. I taught my children how to respect an animals space, how to "play nice" and i supervised ANY and ALL time they spent w/my dogs.
My other 2 dogs were adopted a few years later when we moved to a new state, again my boys learned how to respect a dogs space, and at that point they were old enough to learn basic commands and i supervised this training to make the dogs aware that my children are higher in our pack than they, and that the dogs were to be submissive to them.
I brought home 2 newborns while i had these 4 dogs.
To prepare the dogs for the baby to arrive, we set up the nursery and played videos off youtube.com w/baby sounds- cooing, babbling, crying and laughing so that my dogs would be accustomed to their sounds.
Before we brought our little ones home from the hospital, my husband took a blanket w/the baby's scent on it home and allowed my dogs to sniff it and get the smell of the baby familiar to them so they wouldn't mob me and the baby when we arrived home.
we set boundries for our dogs as well. they were not allowed in certain areas of the house (the nursery, the kitchen)- and made sure they had PLENTY of exercise and mental stimulation. we supervised the introduction of baby and pets, allowing them to sniff our babies while we stood holding them, but NEVER allowed them to be in their faces.
Since you will be living w/the dogs, it's now yours and your BF's resonsibility to make sure that both of the dogs are well prepared for this and trained, as well as daily exercise and mental stimulation (not just your BFs parents) your BF parents and you and your BF need to sit down and lay out some guidlines and rules for when and where the dogs are allowed to be around baby.
i highly would recommend that your baby NOT EVER be allowed to toddle around the house (once mobile) w/the dogs laying around because babies LOVE to pull tails and ears. Dogs react on instinct, fight or flight. They dont understand that baby means no harm and doesn't know any better, all they understand is that a pulled tail or ear hurts.
invest in baby gates, a play pen, and keep your babies play time seperate from the dogs due to their size they could become too excited and accidentally hurt the baby by playing too rough.
DO NOT allow your baby near their food bowls, i dont know if your BFs parent's dogs have food aggression, but little hands can get bitten if baby decides to put one in a bowl while the dogs are eating.
when you baby is older you can teach them how to treat a dog gently and carefully and how to respect their space.

Hi...I wrote this song about this guy named Charles who was a no good bad boy that was cheap and ratchet.
Ive been looking for this guy
That could fly in the sky
But I knew it all
Cause he was sucking the wrong girl
Hes a vegatarian
But he still likes meat
In his mouth
The phase is set
Step one I'm swallow it
Make a move
Bit^h I'm gonna moan
OoOoOoOoOhhhh!
Turn the light down papi
Get the fast lane....no sh^t
Drive the car..
While I ride your stick shift
Oh it's so big
Oh it's so long
Kiss me baby
Kiss like love me mama!!
