  • Should We Give Our Dog Away?

    QUESTION

    Dear Family Pet Expert,
    My husband and I just found out we're going to have a baby in February. It will be our first child. We've had a dog, Vernors, since she was a puppy (about five years old) and I'm concerned about the safety of the baby around the dog. She is a pure bred Shiba Inu, but she's always been pretty aggressive. She fights with other dogs and she's bitten a few people as well. We haven't really had her around small children because I'm afraid of what she'll do.

  • How Do I Introducing Dog to Baby

    QUESTION

    Dear Family Pet Expert,
    My husband and I have a 7-month-year old Lab. We've had her since she was just 7 weeks old and I already knew that I was pregnant (about 2 months). We decided that it'd be easier to get a puppy before the baby came and have her trained, that way she'd be ready for when the baby arrived. She's a good dog, well trained and behaved; she does get excited at times, especially with new people around, but other than that she's a very good dog and we love her dearly.
