How can I safely introduce my dog to a baby

[BeauLopez]

Sure! Here are three different ways you could approach introducing your dog to a baby safely:

**Slow and Steady**: Start by letting your dog sniff a blanket or clothing that smells like the baby before they meet. When you finally introduce them, keep your dog on a leash and let them approach at their own pace. Always supervise their interactions and give your dog plenty of praise for calm behavior!

**Positive Associations**: Before the baby arrives, play recordings of baby sounds at a low volume to help your dog get used to the noises. When the baby is home, reward your dog with treats and praise when they’re calm around the baby. This helps them associate the baby with positive experiences!
